Mimi’s Music Mondays with Saruna Rayi // 01.09.25

An exclusive interview with Saruna Rayi. Listen to a fun and inspirational conversation with Mimi as she delves into Saruna’s life and music journey so far.

Saruna Rayi (@sarunarayi) is a 21-year-old singer, songwriter, and personality from the UK whose soulful sound is inspired by Lauryn Hill, H.E.R., and Yebba. A first-generation Brit with Zimbabwean roots, she channels her life experiences into melodic storytelling — transforming hardship into harmony and pain into poetry. Though still at the start of her journey, with only two singles released (Honestly and NBLY), Saruna has been creating music since childhood, with a background in performing arts and a history of gracing big stages. With her limitless talent and curiosity, she’s carving out a space for herself and is ready to make her mark.

Her new single that came out 1st September 2025, is out now called ‘Dancing in the Lights’.
