bio

Raivyn (aka Kourtney Moore) is a musician and blogger from upstate New York, USA.

With musical experience in a number of genres, Raivyn is a unique individual, refusing to conform to existing trends, ever-expanding to new things as well as remaining loyal to her roots. Self taught vocals, keys, bass, and electric violin, she is currently collaborating with The Seventh Necronation, a darkwave/industrial project, as well as participating in a symphonic metal group (details still unannounced), and has plans for an experimental solo project in the near future.

She also has experience in live production, teching for various bands such as Agony Hill, SOiL, Stemm, Disciple, and AbstraxT, to name a few.

Online projects include actively blogging at Quoth The Raivyn (poetry/personal), Twitter and managing T7N on Last.fm, in addition to this website.

Web hosting isn't always cheap- it really adds up as the months pass. I'd like to continue to offer free music downloads, as well as other media, and in order to do so, I must monetize this website. Any donations are greatly appreciated.
