It's the holiday season, and Portland-based pop and R&B singer @raecansing is lighting up the music scene.
‘Lit 4 The Holidays’ is described as a “trap-inspired” Christmas anthem that blends holiday cheer with bass-heavy beats.
Rachel Wong joined us on AM Extra to share her inspiration and a live performance.

Backstory: My mom loves sharing photos of me, and she’ll usually bring out photos from a shoot I did in 2021. I am literally her wallpaper. For her birthday this year, my friend bought me a photoshoot to be able to send updated photos that we felt truly represented who I am now at 30✨ These (part 1)photos are the result, and mom absolutely loved her gift ❤️
Mason is a wonderful photographer and was so patient with me. I was so nervous, and they reassured me, let me pick the music, and made sure I felt comfortable and welcomed in the space. I cannot wait for my next shoot with them, and I 100% recommend everyone/anyone shoots with them. Truly a safe space 🫶🏽🏳️🌈
Happy 10k streams to BOUNCE and cheers to 10k more! Shoutout to @thethesispdx for makin my headlining set the perfect spot to debut this bop in February and to the dope community and crowd for being the perfect people to rap to for the first time ever 🥹😬

I was scream singing Ciara’s 1, 2 step in my 92 Subaru Legacy in 2004, so I could write a song like this in 2026 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
BOUNCE out now on all streaming platform feat. the incredible @jadejosephine . Everyone go book your sessions at @thebunkerrecordingstudio with @prodbynickbernyk cuz the man doesn’t miss! Working with him the last year has changed my music career trajectory and it can do it for you too.
