Rain Phoenix discovered her passion for performing at a young age. Raised in a family that encouraged music and nurtured artistic expression, she and her siblings have collectively captivated audiences around the world through music, performance and film. 

Embracing veganism as a child, Rain along with her siblings, convinced her parents to adopt veganism in the late 1970’s and the Phoenix family were early advocates for animal rights, playing a pivotal role in promoting the vegan lifestyle through grassroots initiatives and mainstream media. 

Rain's journey as a touring musician began as a teenager with Aleka's Attic, a progressive folk-rock band founded by her older brother River Phoenix. Throughout the late '80s and early '90s, the indie group traveled across the country, performing at various venues, from underground rock clubs to large benefit concerts.

Rain also toured and recorded with renowned acts such as Causey Way and R.E.M before establishing her own band, papercranes, in 2001. She also was a founding member of The Citizen's Band, a cabaret troupe based in New York, from 2006 to 2015. In 2016, Rain became half of the duo Venus and the Moon and toured with Cat Power and Rufus Wainwright. In 2019 Rain released her first solo record RIVER which included “Time is the Killer” feat. Michael Stipe.

Rain is the host and founder of LaunchLeft, a contributing writer for Another Jane Pratt Thing, Origin Magazine and FLOOD Magazine, works closely with The Art of Elysium and is board vice-president of River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding. Rain is currently writing her next solo record and in the studio with collaborator Kirk Hellie for new music from their band Escape Artist Lovers.
