Rae DiLeo

Drawing from a lifetime of musical experience, Rae now blends Spanish classical guitar, subtle flamenco influences, Native American flute, and organic textures into performances that are both sophisticated and deeply personal. Every note is played with intention, creating an ambiance that feels elegant without being intrusive, expressive without demanding attention.

For those seeking music that elevates an event rather than simply filling the silence, Rae offers something rare—a performance that becomes part of the memory. Guests may not always remember every conversation from the evening, but they will remember how the music made them feel.

Whether performing for an intimate gathering of twenty guests or an elegant celebration of hundreds, Rae's goal is always the same: to create an atmosphere of beauty, warmth, and connection that lingers long after the final note has faded.

Rae DiLeo is a platinum-selling, Grammy-winning producer, recording engineer, and internationally recognized guitarist whose career has spanned more than three decades of musical exploration.

His journey began at the forefront of hip-hop, recording pioneering artists including Grandmaster Flash, Kurtis Blow, and T La Rock. As music evolved, so did Rae, becoming an integral creative force behind artists such as Filter, Veruca Salt, Henry Rollins, Billy Idol, and AOA—a collaboration featuring members of Filter and Stone Temple Pilots. Throughout every chapter of his career, one passion has remained constant: creating music that moves people.

Today, Rae brings that lifetime of artistry to intimate concerts, wineries, galleries, private gatherings, corporate receptions, and special events through the timeless beauty of Spanish and classical guitar.

His performances are more than background music—they create an atmosphere. Rich nylon-string melodies weave effortlessly through conversation, transforming a room into a warm, elegant, and memorable experience. Whether accompanying a sunset wine tasting, an upscale dinner, an art exhibition, or a private celebration, Rae's music invites guests to slow down, connect, and fully immerse themselves in the moment.

Rae's gift for creating immersive musical experiences extends beyond the stage. He co-created the acclaimed ambient project Meridian Dream with Steven Rawlings of England's Danse Society, producing meditative soundscapes that became synonymous with sunrise gatherings throughout Southern California's desert music scene. His healing compositions have been embraced by therapists, wellness practitioners, and educators, including the Los Angeles school system, where his album Journey to the Core was used to provide a calming environment for children on the autism spectrum. His work was also recognized by New Age Review for its contribution to the healing arts.
