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.

Freedom Ain't Free feat. Nano Omar
Lyrics: Raef, Bara Kherigi & Nano Omar
Melody & Arrangement: Maher Zain
Video by: Abdulrahman El Abyad
Lyrics:
All I own, my whole life
Is worth nothing if I'm not free
I will fight tyranny
I'll break the shackles holding me
If we can reach the stars above, even though they seem so far
We'll change the world, we'll overcome, revolution starts with me
Pre-chorus:
In the face of evil, the way of danger, yeah
I will be strong
Yeah the storm clouds are coming, and no we ain't running
Yeah, we'll fight on!
And I will say
Chorus:
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
Freedom ain't free
And I will say ohh ohh ohh ohh
I'll fight for you and me
And I will say ohh ohh ohh ohh
God made me free
And I will say ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ain't nobody gonna take that from me
If we stay silent
We'll see injustice spreading wide
When freedom calls, I'll be there
Stand by my side it's our time to fly
I'll stand my ground till my voice is found
It's either death or liberty
O Lord above, give us strength
And grant us victory!
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
God made me free
So who's gon' stop me ?
I'd give my wealth, my life
'Cause it's my destiny
I was born a fighter
Come on let's stand together
Make the world better
Pray for sunny weather
It's time to let go
Of your inner ego
Stand by my side my brothers
Come on and let's go
To a higher ground
Where peace and love is found
Storms are rolling, we're coming
We ain't gon' back down!
