For the three Riley sisters, that notion is the furthest from the truth. RaidR, comprised of Deja, Taja and Bobbie, have all the makings of an international sensation. As the daughters of musical icon, Teddy Riley, the trio learned from a young age that while talent may get you in the door, perseverance, ambition and practice is what guarantees longevity. Growing up in Virginia Beach, VA allowed the trio to live a life outside of the spotlight, in an environment where these three qualities were ingrained and instilled in them. While they spent most of their young lives focusing on dance, they knew a career in music was their destiny. After working alongside the likes of Denise Wall, Debbie Allen, Janet Jackson, Laurie-Ann Gibson and Lady Gaga, the trio decided it was time to focus their talents on themselves. RaidR, created at a caf\u00e9 in North Hollywood, CA, is a true reflection of each of the girls\u2019 personality: Deja\u2019s sexy and sultry R&amp;B vibe, Taja\u2019s vintage\/punk rock style, and Bobbie\u2019s bubbly pop sweetness. After years of honing their vocal and songwriting skills, they\u2019re ready to raid the industry with music that crosses multiple genres and appeals to a variety of listeners. Get ready world, RaidR is on the scene.<\/p>\n<p>So, here is RaidR&#8217;s first single called &#8220;ATM&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"390\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mB75Lkvd3gs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I think the song is good for a first single. <b>What do you think?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you like them, support them on Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/raidrmusic\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/raidrmusic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Have a good week!<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-if2Nw-_YMXM\/TZFSvSRxkvI\/AAAAAAAAAn4\/BQh0JIs20Nk\/s1600\/Signature.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"149\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nialangley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Signature.jpg?resize=320%2C149&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<i><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Photo citation: facebook.com\/raidrmusic<\/span><\/i><br \/>\n<i><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: x-small;\">No Copyright Infringement Intended<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BARE WITH ME GUYS!
