Raye splashes out on lavish £2m mega mansion in Los Angeles as she aims to break America after first ever Grammy nomination

Raye has treated herself to a £2million mega mansion in Los Angeles as she aims to break the States after winning six BRIT Awards this year. 

The singer, 27, has splashed out on the very quirky six-bedroom home, which has murals daubed on the walls. 

Raye has also treated herself to a huge swimming pool at the lavish property which she plans to spend a lot of time at while working on new music. 

A source told The Sun: ‘Raye has invested in a new place in LA and she wants to wait to put her touch on it.

‘It’s a really fun house and is whacky inside and out, which perfectly fits her personality. There are mᴀssive murals on the walls and internally its all bright and mismatched. It’s bananas but Raye loved it.

‘She intends to spend a lot more time working on music in the States and having her own place while she is out there makes perfect sense. Buying the house tops off what has been an incredible year for her.’ 

Raye has reportedly earned five times more this year than last, thanks to the mega success of her debut album, My 21st Century Blues.

Earlier this month, the hitmaker broke down in tears after being nominated for her first ever Grammy award.   

Raye is up for three Grammy awards this year, getting nominations for Best New Artist, Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.

It’s the latest success for Raye who took home six gongs at the Brit Awards, beating Blur, Adele and Harry Styles’ record four wins at a Brits ceremony.

Sharing a clip on Instagram, Raye could be seen becoming emotional as she learned over the phone she had been nominated.

Alongside the video, she wrote: ‘God knows all it took to get here. This is too much i can’t stop crying.’ 

At this year’s Brits, Raye scooped the first gong presented on the night, Song of the Year for her hit Escapism ft 070 Shake, shortly before also taking home the R&B Act gong and Best New Artist.

She was in floods of tears as she later accepted Album Of The Year, Artist Of The Year and Songwriter of the Year, bringing her beloved grandmother on stage at one point.

She had been nominated seven times – the most ever for a single artist in a year – but couldn’t possibly have won more than she did as she was shortlisted twice for song of the year – for Escapism, which won the тιтle, and for Prada.

‘I’m shaking. i don’t really know what to say right now, but… thank you. I’ve always dreamed of saying that,’ Raye said as the reached the podium to accept her first award of the night.

Accepting Best New Artist just minutes afterwards, the emotional star, a former pupil of the BRIT School in Croydon, told the crowd: ‘What is actually happening right now ’cause I just don’t understand!’

Raye’s recent success comes after she parted ways with her former label, Polydor, and released her critically acclaimed debut My 21st Century Blues as an independent artist. She referenced her new beginning in her Best New Artist Speech.

‘I have to thank my mum and my dad who are also part of my team, and my grandma. Yes grandma! I, in ways, do feel like a new artist. I released my first song when I was 15, my first mixtape when I was 16, don’t go and listen to it because it’s not that good any more.’

‘But I do feel like a new artist, I got to start again. The artist I was three years ago would not believe what she’s seeing today. I’m my own boss now, I’m in control. Thank you!’

It comes after Raye revealed she broke down in tears of joy after learning she had received her first ever Grammy nominations

Born in Tooting to a Ghanaian-Swiss mother and English father, Raye began singing in the church choir. 

At the age of 14, she was accepted into the Brit School for performing arts, but dropped out after two years saying she felt ‘confined’.

She first found fame in 2016, aged 19, when she featured on Jax Jones’s You Don’t Know Me which peaked at No 3 on the UK singles chart.

But in 2021 she revealed that record label Polydor had refused to release any of her albums, despite having signed her seven years earlier. 

She took to Twitter to say : ‘I have been on a four album record deal since 2014. And haven’t been allowed to put out one album.’
