Born in Washington DC and raised in Maryland, Raef has shared his music with faith-based communities across the world. In the early 2000s, he sang tenor in a college a cappella group and played his acoustic guitar at local coffee shops. Raef was introduced to the national stage after his trio rock-band "Great Seneca" toured the United States as part of the "Voices for Change" initiative. Shortly afterwards, Raef joined the "Poetic Vision Tour" - a band of traveling musicians and poets dedicated to inspiring a spiritual and cultural renewal. More recently, Raef started working with Awakening Records and in 2014 released his debut album "The Path" , a collection of songs that reflects his identity as an American Muslim and his journey throughout the years.

So Real - Lyrics:

They say that love never lasts

That love never lives to see another day

But what I know deep down inside

It's what I feel and it's so real

I gave it up all for You

And there ain't nothing that I won't do

All I know deep down inside

It's what I feel and it's so real with You!

Chorus:

Allah, everyday I'll try to be as true as I can to You

'Cause loving You the best I can

Will always be my number one and only plan

Yes everyday I'll try to be as true as I can to You

'Cause loving You the best I can

Will always be my number one and only plan

They say: "You're out of your mind"

"Don't you know that love fades away?"

They say: "It only brings you pain!"

But what I feel is so real!

I gave it up and turned to You

'Cause I know what your love can do

O Allah open up our hearts

And make us feel how it's so real with You!

CHORUS
