Having garnered a #2 Billboard Smooth Jazz holiday single (‘Happy Holiday’), a Hollywood Music In Media Award for ‘Best in Holiday,’ critical acclaim, and over 50 sync licenses in film, tv, and ads combined, Rehya Stevens is both a prolific artist and chameleon songwriter. Whilst known for her authentic artistry spanning Smooth Jazz and RnB, Dance, and Holiday genres, she is also a custom composer of songs-to-picture for Lifetime, Mar Vista, and for a diverse array of unique artists.

Through mutual colleagues and stages shared on the LA music scene, Rehya met veteran Smooth Jazz star Chris Standring, back in 2018. Chris approached Rehya about the prospect of writing a song together, and with a little elbow grease, some patience, and an organic hit of inspiration, “HIGHER (feat. CHRIS STANDRING)” was born.

“When Chris sent me the track, I was steeped in writing an all-original Christmas album that had me cocooned in the festive music space for over a year. I struggled to find the mental imagery for what became “Higher.” I had the melody composed, but lyrically, nothing was sticking. Then one afternoon, Chris called to ask how the song was going. Right before hanging up, he casually mentioned that he was leaving on a two-week vacation to Cancun. Ah-ha!! There was the shot of inspiration I needed. I pictured white sandy beaches, vibrant sunsets, and falling in love - hard and fast while on a dream vacation. What an idyllic start to a romance. But, what happens when you come back home - to reality?” -Rehya Stevens

“HIGHER (feat. CHRIS STANDRING)” will be released on all streaming platforms on September 13th, 2024.

REHYA STEVENS / Bio
Singer/songwriter/pianist Rehya Stevens was born in Pasadena Ca, and raised with a rich musical backdrop. Her father, a highly accomplished Jazz and R&B keyboardist and composer played gigs that ranged from $50 a night dive bars, to working as a composer/conductor for Walt Disney, Inc… writing scores, orchestrations and arrangements for Disney’s television shows and movies. Seasoned professionals from a myriad of trades; engineers, producers, musicians, singers, and songwriters infiltrated the household and were an integral part of Rehya’s formative years as an artist in bloom. 

At the age of 22, Rehya graduated with honors from the pop keyboard training program at The Musician’s Institute. Upon graduation, Rehya was awarded by the faculty, naming her ‘The most motivated and improved student to graduate from the K.I.T. department." Motivated indeed, Rehya formed a band with her peers, and recorded a 6 song EP that started her on the journey of building an impressive song catalog that has since opened several doors in her recording, performing and songwriting career.

From 2007-2010, Rehya scored songs for Paramount Pictures with the music supervision of Randy Spendlove for the film projects, ‘Maggie Lynn’ and ‘Footloose 2.’

Rehya's songs have been placed on the CBS, NBC, and TNT, networks, while her vocal placements include South Park X Box Video Game "The Stick Of Truth," (2014), "All I Want For Christmas" (Hallmark 2013), "Dear Secret Santa" (Hallmark 2013), Hasbro's National Moneyless Monopoly Commercial (The Cartoon Network 2011 )and the theme song for "Scott Baio 45 & Single" and it's sequel "46 & Pregnant."

On June 25th 2013, Rehya released a 13 song album titled “Vintage Love.” The “Vintage Love” project is a Pop, R&B crossover album produced (primarily) by Alex Teamer. The album spans the genres of Pop, R&B, Soul and Dance. Conceptually, each song on the "Vintage Love" album represents one of the three levels of love:

Eros: Erotic, romantic love- untested by hardship.

Philos: Love based on friendship with mutual respect- give and take.

Agape: Unconditional love without thought to benefit self.

The message of the "Vintage Love" album is of the soul’s yearning for love of a higher elevation in the complex, flawed jungle we call “life.”
Throughout "Vintage Love,"  Rehya demonstrates that she is an artist who knows a thing or two about life in this complex, flawed jungle, and has something meaningful to offer. Elegantly, she weaves her values into catchy, brilliant anthems of healing for another generation.
