[edit] Biography
Raisa was born in Rostov-on-Don to Chechen parents, where she still lives with her family. She received a secondary vocational education at the city's College of Law, and after graduation she continued her education at the law school of MVD Rostov, becoming a student of the Faculty of Law.
At a young age Raisa developed an interest in music, and she wrote many songs, some of which would be included in her 2004 debut album, "Our Stars Are With You", where she sang jazz and folk songs in her native Chechen language.
