Bio

RAHAM is the flagship artist of OLAM Studios—an Alternative Soul singer-songwriter, pianist, cellist, composer, and multidisciplinary creator whose work explores the space between remembering and becoming.

Born in Atlanta and shaped by nearly two decades of life in China, where he fronted OLAM Band in Shanghai as Bobby Washington OLAM, RAHAM brings an unusually wide sense of place and perspective to his music. His songs move naturally through Alternative Soul, Indie Soul, R&B, singer-songwriter, and cinematic influences, led by expressive piano, voice, and cello.

His work is deeply reflective without becoming inaccessible. Love, memory, change, belonging, disappointment, hope, and the passage of time repeatedly surface throughout his writing, but the music rarely tells the listener what they are supposed to feel. Instead, RAHAM creates room for listeners to bring their own stories with them.

That same philosophy shapes his approach to performance and visual storytelling. Music is not treated as an isolated product, but as part of a larger world of sound, image, atmosphere, and human connection.

As OLAM Studios’ flagship artist, RAHAM represents the studio’s belief that artists can create work that is personal without becoming closed-off, experimental without losing humanity, and meaningful without sacrificing beauty.

His music is made for people still moving through life—not necessarily lost, and not necessarily arrived.

Still walking.

Coming soon

OLAM Soulful Sessions

Small rooms. A piano. Time to listen.

OLAM Soulful Sessions is a new branch of OLAM — intimate music experiences built around listening. Live piano, live cello, improvisation, and reflective listening: music played close, heard slowly, and shared with a few people at a time.

Each session is a quiet room, a piano, and time — songs played as they are, without hurry, and space for the music to be heard the way it was made. Sessions are coming soon. When the first sessions are announced, the details will be listed here.
