About RaiNao

Naomi Ramírez Rivera, known professionally as RaiNao, is a Puerto Rican singer-songwriter. Based in Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico, her music incorporates elements of reggaeton, jazz, R&B, and alternative pop, shaped by her background in music theory and live performance. She got signed to Rimas Entertainment in 2024.

Naomi Ramírez Rivera began her professional music career in 2020, uploading a reggae-infused cover of Víctor Manuelle's "He Tratado" to Youtube. Before embarking on a solo career, she toured as a backup vocalist for fellow Puerto Rican musician Rafa Pabön for four years, which helped her overcome stage fright and refine her vocal abilities.
Her debut EP, ahora A.K.A. Nao, was released in 2022 under Rimas Entertainment's independent-focused label, Sonar. The EP included tracks such as "Plug" and "Un Amarre" and featured experimental approaches to urbano and alternative genres. Bad Bunny highlighted her track "LUV", which led to her performing at one of his concerts during the Un Verano Sin Ti tour in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
In 2023, RaiNao performed at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas. She contributed to Mora's album Estrella, appearing on two tracks.
Her debut album, Capicú, was released in February 2024, blending reggaeton, jazz, R&B, and other genres. It featured experimental elements such as live horns and percussive rhythms and included songs like "Roadhead" and "Naomi's Interlude". That year, she performed at Ceremonia and Baja Beach Fest, marking another milestones in her career.
RaiNao featured on the Bad Bunny song "Perfumito Nuevo" on his sixth album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, released on 5 January 2025.
Puerto Rican singer RaiNao got famous fast in the music world by mixing sounds like reggaeton, R&B, and pop. Her biggest break came from Bad Bunny, who first showed his support by bringing her to play at his Un Verano Sin Ti shows. Their bond became stronger when they made the song "Perfumito Nuevo" for his new album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos. After the album dropped, RaiNao joined the "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí" residency in Puerto Rico and the huge Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour. Because she is performing their song on some of the world's largest stages including most of Latin America, this big team-up has introduced her unique style to fans all over the world. She has been one of the artists that has made the most appearances in the tour, mostly appearing in the “choliseo” in Puerto Rico since she is Boricua.
