In the early 2000s, he sang tenor in a college a cappella group and played his acoustic guitar at local coffee shops. Raef was introduced to the national stage after his trio rock-band "Great Seneca" toured the United States as part of the "Voices for Change" initiative. Shortly afterwards, Raef joined the "Poetic Vision Tour" - a band of traveling musicians and poets dedicated to inspiring a spiritual and cultural renewal. More recently, Raef started working with Awakening Records and in 2014 released his debut album "The Path" , a collection of songs that reflects his identity as an American Muslim and his journey throughout the years.<br /><br />Lyrics: Raef, Maher Zain & Bara Kherigi<br />Melody & Arrangement: Maher Zain<br />Director: Ross Ching<br />Producer: Don Le<br />Actress: Bushra Maghrabi<br />Dop: Gabriel Lewis<br />1st AD: Jon Crawford<br />1st AC: Michael Skor<br />2nd AC / DIT: Andy Chen<br />Gaffer: David Lassiter <br />Key Grip: Raul Rivera <br />Best Boy Electric: Chad Nagel<br />Best Boy Grip: Gabe Verdesoto<br />Dolly Grip for Slider: Spencer Smith<br />Art Director: Erin Riegel<br />Sand Castle Builder: Greg & Kathy Lebon / Archisand Professional Sand Sculptors, Inc<br />(http://www.socalsandcastles.com)<br />Stylist: Angelica Lee<br />Makeup/Hair: Eva Cortez<br />Key PA: Justin Vancho<br />PA: Sam Puefua<br />BTS Photo / Video: Steven Lam<br />Special Thanks: Line 204<br /><br />So Real - Lyrics:<br /><br />They say that love never lasts<br />That love never lives to see another day<br />But what I know deep down inside<br />It's what I feel and it's so real<br />I gave it up all for You<br />And there ain't nothing that I won't do<br />All I know deep down inside<br />It's what I feel and it's so real with You!<br /><br />Chorus:<br />Allah, everyday I'll try to be as true as I can to You<br />'Cause loving You the best I can<br />Will always be my number one and only plan<br />Yes everyday I'll try to be as true as I can to You<br />'Cause loving You the best I can<br />Will always be my number one and only plan<br /><br />They say: "You're out of your mind"<br />"Don't you know that love fades away?"<br />They say: "It only brings you pain!"<br />But what I feel is so real!<br />I gave it up and turned to You<br />'Cause I know what your love can do<br />O Allah open up our hearts<br />And make us feel how it's so real with You!<br /><br />CHORUS<br />Raef - So Real feat.
