Born in New York on April 9th to Lawrence and Marissa Felder, Naomi carried the torch passed down by her parents to spread the gospel through song. Standing on the word spoken over her parents that “their seed would bless the earth,” Naomi Raine has traveled to countless places sharing the message of Jesus Christ to thousands of people.
Whether songwriting, singing, or playing the guitar, she has always found it easiest to communicate to people through lyrics and melodies. Her desire to see the body of Christ united and empowered fuels her drive to make music that inspires others to worship God. This is evident in her first viral single, “Pour Me Out,” which gave language to a young audience desiring to live a surrendered life. Since then, Naomi has kept this message relevant through every project including “Back to Eden” – parts 1 and 2.
Naomi is featured on countless projects with some of the most acclaimed artists in Christian music: Todd Dulaney, J.J. Hairston, Bethel Music, Jonathan and Melissa Helser, and Israel Houghton, to name a few.
One of Naomi’s joys is singing with her new found family, Maverick City Music, who has taken the world by storm over the past few years. Together, they have touched generations of people and have been widely recognized as artists who are leading the masses to the heart of God. As a part of Maverick City Music, Naomi has earned multiple awards including, Billboard Music Awards, Dove Awards, Stellar Awards, and a Grammy award.
