S2-E149 Bella Rayne

(7-19-2023) Mike and co-host, legendary bassust Leland Sklar were thrilled and honored to feature Bella Rayne! She is a self-taught guitar wiz at jus t 16 who is quickly making a name for herself in the music industry. Her story begins in the early days of the Covid quarantine. While poking around the family garage, Bella happened upon her mother’s Fender Strat. With no really intention of playing it, she cleaned it up and started playing. Music became Bella’s go to and from there, she blossomed as a musician and taught herself to play. Her taste in early 70's psychedelic rock and 90s grunge-era music paired with her collection of vintage guitars makes her a standout in live performances and on social media. She’s already joined the stage with heavy hitters and has even picked up endorsements from several renowned companies. Bella Rayne lives in a small, coastal town in Northern California where she performs locally, and has been extremely motivated in the studio where she has been working on originals as well. When she’s not busy recording or performing, Bella is an “A+” student and gifted visual artist who volunteers with children's after-school programs at her local community center and even teaches music camps to young children. In addition to continuing with her musical career, her ambitions include attending Berklee College of Music focusing on Guitar Performance and Music Therapy. Bella has the confidence, poise, and talent of someone far beyond her 16 years and her trademark style and fashion is making waves on social media.
