Summary

Atlanta-based pop artist Lyric Rachae is a powerhouse performer whose bold, dance-driven anthems and magnetic stage presence draw natural comparisons to Janet Jackson—an artist she honored in a viral recreation of the iconic “Scream” video, reposted by Janet herself. A Berklee College of Music alum, Lyric first turned heads with her breakout single “Hit The Ground Running.” The music video has amassed over 300K views and continues to fuel her momentum as a rising voice in pop. Her latest release, “Make Me Proud” (June 2025), expands her sound with flirty, futuristic pop rooted in nostalgia—proving she can hold her own alongside today’s leading pop superstars. On stage, Lyric is undeniable, praised by celebrity choreographer and creative director Sakinah LeStage (T-Pain, Ne-Yo, Keri Hilson, Nelly) for her “insane work ethic” and commanding star quality. From her early festival debut at Music Midtown to a packed show at Atlanta’s Aisle 5 with a full band, Lyric Rachae has already proven she’s an artist built for the big stage. With an aesthetic as bold as her sound and a live show designed to captivate, she’s ready to bring that same unstoppable energy to SXSW 2026.
