Many new artists struggle to get just a few songs fully finished to put out for the world’s ears to ever hear. Rini K is on a different page with three successful singles already released and her full 10-song album dropping on May 29th.
“6n7” has been a labor of love since 2017 when Rini was just 11. She spent one year writing the songs and then began recording them on Apple’s Garageband. Later on, she re-recorded all of the tracks using Logic Pro X and, by then, had also added to her repertory of instruments purchased using birthday and Christmas gift money. She realized she had the capabilities to create full pop sessions and the album really took shape along with her love of music production. “Being an artist is fun, but I’m also really loving delving into the entire creative and business process. I want this entire album to be all me.”
Fast forward to 2020 and the entire album is indeed all Rini! She wrote, recorded, engineered, and mastered all of the tracks entirely on her own. Inspiration to her comes from artists such as Halsey, Sia, and Ellie Goulding. Her sound fits into its own space, however, and has a refreshing new take. All of the songs sound different while remaining true to the genre which is, many times, something that is difficult for new artists to achieve on a debut endeavor.
The title “6n7” comes from the fact the songs were written during Rini’s 6th and 7th grades in school, but the meaning goes much deeper than the actual years. Much of it comes from various places such as self-discovery during adolescence, personal experiences, or experiences of close friends or family members. Rini told some listeners recently, “Real-life scenarios are essential to build a connection with my fans who may be going through similar things.”
With incredible maturity and a relatable persona, Rini K is increasing her fanbase internationally every day. She’s a true stand out among other new artists for her raw honesty and multifaceted talent. It will be an interesting ride watching this young artist/entrepreneur on her journey. She’s already back in the studio working on new music. We can’t wait to hear it! In addition to music streaming platforms, you can find other video content she has created on YouTube. This is where many fans are gaining a sense of who Rini is.

Pop artist, Rini K, is showing us a different side of herself on her new single “Would You Take Me Back” proving she’s not a one skilled artist and writer. The song drops on Friday, April 10th and is the follow-up to her last single “All We’ve known”, which displayed the more serene aura around her style. “Would You Take Me Back” is the third release from the 10-track debut album titled 6n7, which comes out in the Spring of 2020. The official music video for the song will be released on April 24th.
Would You Take Me Back displays Rini K’s story telling capabilities in her songwriting as well as her skill in producing songs that are both catchy and unique. The new track from the emerging artist is based on a person she was very close with. This person ended up spiraling into bad habits (ie. drugs and theft) after they had associated themselves with someone who was struggling with both of these issues. About a decade later, this person came out of this dark place in their life and is now asking their old friends and family to involve them in their lives again. An interesting fact about this project from Rini K is the fact that the whole music video was filmed in two hours the day after Christmas.
Rini K is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Raleigh, NC. She draws influence from artists such as Halsey, Sia, and Ellie Goulding. Rini wrote, recorded, engineered and mastered all of the tracks on 6n7 entirely on her own. Her brand is based around the DIY concept. She has a unique appeal because she did it all solo and her sound stands out in a sea of other young talent.
Rini wants her fans to know that she identifies with the pressure and stress that is put on their generation. Between demanding school schedules, intense social situations, social media, and discovering who you are, life is much different for Gen Z than it was for past generations. Rini felt pressured to do what everyone else her age was expected to do, (ex. sports, school dances, parties, etc.) but she wasn’t happy when she engaged in these activities. Three years later, Rini K has written, produced, mixed, and mastered her debut album, released two singles, and is growing a highly engaged fan base on social media and is happier than ever. She makes it clear that she is still growing up just like everyone else, but she wants to share her music with the world now because it could help people who feel the way she did in the beginning of her teen years. Rini encourages her fans to do what they are passionate about, no matter what other people say or think.
The single “Would You Take Me Back” and its forthcoming album are highly anticipated. Currently, Rini is fervently working on promotion and writing new music.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 23, 2020 (Cary, NC)
Pop artist, Rini K, is proving you’re never too young to tackle a full-length album and business venture on your own. Rini just announced the drop of her new single “All We’ve Known”, which drops on Friday, February 7. This marks the follow-up to her debut track “Alone in the Night”, which has been well received and has people hooked.
“All We’ve known” is the second release from the 10-track album titled 6n7, which will come out in the Spring of 2020. Supplying catchy lyrics and a notable melody, Rini K has done it again with another alluring song.
Rini started writing “All We’ve Known” during her earliest years of songwriting and, over the years, it has developed into arguably one of her best tracks on 6n7. Rini says that "All We've Known" was inspired by her desire to break both outside of the artistic barriers she was put in due to her age and also the kind of lifestyle she was told she needed to have. Rini says that she knew that what everyone else her age was doing "just wasn't her thing", but music was something that had always been such a large part of her life.
"All We've Known" also discusses the struggle that both she and young artists, especially female artists, face when it comes to being given a chance or opportunity while being able to maintain any success they achieve. She says that "an artist's lifestyle can often feel like a rollercoaster because you experience different highs and lows and you always feel like things are going too slow or too fast, but you are always moving. That can be so confusing to a new young artist, and it is often hard to adjust to." The official music video for the song will be released to YouTube on March 27th.
Rini wrote, recorded, engineered and mastered all of the tracks on 6n7 entirely on her own. Also, she is also delving into the business side of the music industry. 6n7 displays all of Rini K’s creative and business talents. Her brand is based around the DIY concept. She has a unique appeal because she did it all solo and it is quality work.
As a young self-reliant artist in all facets of the industry, Rini is working to inspire other new artists, especially women, to explore the multitude of jobs within the music space. She believes every artist should be able to have a say in the creative process and its associated business activities. Rini wants to demonstrate the values and rewards that come from artist entrepreneurship, mainly having control over your vision.
When people meet the young artist for the first time, a common response is that there’s something indescribably different about her. She stands out among other new artists. Her maturity and vision are unparalleled and with the business edge she’s developing, who knows what lies ahead for this young artist/entrepreneur. In addition, her unique personal style has gained much attention from fashion insiders. The single “All We’ve Known” and its forthcoming album are a must-listen. Currently, Rini is diligently working on promotion and preparing for live performances while writing new music.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 13, 2019 (Cary, NC)
Pop artist, Rini K, announces the release of her anticipated debut single “Alone in the Night”. The song drops on Friday, January 10 and will mark the first single to be released from her 10-song album titled 6n7, which will be released in the Spring of 2020.
Rini draws influence from artists such as Halsey, Ellie Goulding, Sia, and Kygo. The lyrics are mature and her sound is unique. She is a 14-year old who seems much older given her extreme focus and drive.
Alone in the night was inspired by Rini K’s fascination with the desert, particularly Palm Springs, California and the concept of loneliness. The song is upbeat, but has an underlying tone of the desperation of finding someone else in the same state of mind. She then applied this concept to her music video, which was filmed in Joshua Tree National Park. The music video shows Rini surrounded by the calm and beauty of the desert, but there isn’t a person in sight. It displays the love-hate relationship anyone can identify with when it comes to being alone. It can be both a beautiful yet painful thing. The official music video for Alone in the Night will be released to YouTube on Friday, January 24.
Rini wrote, recorded, engineered and mastered all of the tracks on 6n7 herself without any help from other individuals. This was done in the home studio she created herself by adding equipment one piece at a time as funds from birthdays and other holidays allowed. Also, she directed and edited her music videos entirely on her own. Her mother filmed the videos on her iPhone 7 Plus.
Not only did Rini create the music, but she is also delving into the business side of the music industry. She is building her brand from the ground up handling the business aspects on her own under the mentorship of her father. 6n7 displays all of Rini K’s creative and business talents. Her brand is based around the DIY (do it yourself) concept. She has a unique appeal because she did it all solo and it is quality work.
Rini’s musical interest began at age 11 when she learned to play both acoustic and electric guitar. Learning guitar inspired her to try songwriting since she could now accompany lyrics with a musical instrument. After she had written her first couple of songs, Rini discovered her talent in songwriting and immediately fell in love with it so much that she made the ambitious decision to write her first album. After she spent one year writing it, she began recording her songs on Apple’s Garageband software. Rini nearly finished recording all the tracks but later decided to re-record all of them on the upgraded software platform, Logic Pro X. She then purchased a MIDI keyboard to add more advanced production to her music. Working with Logic Pro X and the MIDI made Rini realize she had the capabilities to create full pop sessions with advanced mixing and mastering. Rini originally did not intend to become a music producer or a sound engineer, but the whole experience of producing and engineering her album made her discover her knack and interest in producing music.
When people meet the young artist for the first time, a common response is that there’s something indescribably different about her. She stands out among other young new artists. Her maturity and vision are unparalleled and with the business edge she’s developing, who knows what lies ahead for this young artist/entrepreneur. The single and its forthcoming album will be a must-listen for many people.

Bio
We all want to be part of a community that supports, never judges and promotes inclusion and love. This is the mission that drives Rini K, a musical artist, producer and entrepreneur. This philosophy embodied her recently released album, 6n7, and is the foundation of her work. Now, with an enthusiastic fan base known as the “Riniacs” backing her up, Rini K is taking on more music, along with the recent launch of her YouTube channel.
Rini’s musical interest began at age 11 when she learned to play both acoustic and electric guitar. Learning guitar inspired her to try songwriting since she could then accompany lyrics with a musical instrument. After she had written her first couple of songs, Rini discovered her talent in songwriting and immediately fell in love with it, so much that she made the ambitious decision to write her first album, 6n7.
Rini’s first album, 6n7, is full of songs that are mature both lyrically and sonically. The songs each tell a story, whether it be about her own experiences or situations she watched other people in her life go through. Her fans find the music to be very relatable and catchy, with tracks such as “Alone in the Night,” “Would You Take Me Back” and “Castles on the Bay” being some of the most popular songs on the album. Rini says that her biggest influences are Halsey, Ellie Goulding, Sia, and The Chainsmokers.
The album title, 6n7, was born from the fact she wrote the songs during her sixth and seventh grades of school. However, the title goes beyond the years she wrote the music. She makes the analogy that going through your middle school years is much like becoming a new artist. When you are in middle school, it is very easy to get caught up in what your peers are doing and ignoring your values just to follow the crowd and mimic everybody else to feel comfortable in social situations. Similarly, a new artist may be tempted to follow what other musicians are doing and go about their whole brand and career plan trying to emulate what somebody else has done. New artists are often afraid to do things differently than other recent new acts. Both of these scenarios have one common factor: you have to discover your identity and know that what everybody else is doing may not always be the best thing for you. You have to make your own decisions based on what you value and know what is best for yourself.
Rini is very honest and real with her fans and talks to them both publicly and privately daily. She recently launched a new page on her official website that is dedicated just to the Riniacs. The page features posts that the fans make about her as well as some heartfelt comments that they’ve left on her social media posts. Rini makes a sincere effort in ensuring that her relationship with her fans only gets stronger and hopes that she can be someone they turn to in times of both happiness and sadness. She also wants the fans to be there for each other. Rini hosts an Instagram group chat where the Riniacs can interact with each other in a virtual group setting.
While music may be Rini’s priority, she does not want to put herself in a box. She started her own YouTube channel, called “Rini K” in which she makes weekly content that highlights Rini’s personality and other aspects of her life that fans may be interested in. Rini started the YouTube channel for many reasons, but mainly so that the fans can have an even closer relationship with her. She feels that Instagram posts and stories only give people a glimpse at her life whereas YouTube allows her to create long-form video content where fans can feel like they are hanging out with Rini and begin to know her as a friend.
Rini K is an artist that exemplifies creative ambition and believes in both the entrepreneurial spirit as well as making music that offers something more to her fans. She is on a mission to spread her music and her content to new people every day, hoping to inspire fans that are in a mindset she used to be in, which lacked confidence and self-assurance. She wants to spread the message that you need to please yourself before you can please others. Embrace what makes you happy and unique and show the world what you are made of.
