}}Maraaya are a Slovene duo founded by Marjetka Vovk and Raay in 2014. The group's name is a combination of its members' names, while its pronunciation means "She has Raay" in the Slovene language.[1][2] With help and international cooperation of well known Estonian Vita Pictura Productions, they became one of the few Slovenian artists to get an official VEVO channel on YouTube.[3]

Raay is credited as co-writer and producer for many Slovenian artists. He is credited as the composer on Slovenia's 2014 Eurovision song "Round and Round", and they both contributed to Slovenia's 2014 Junior Eurovision song with "Nisi sam (Your Light)" and 2015 Junior Eurovision song with "Prva ljubezen" (The First Love). In 2013 Raay co-wrote and produced the music for "My Way Is My Decision", a hit song performed by Slovenian alpine skier Tina Maze. Raay co-wrote, produced and recorded first two singles ("Muza" and "Heart of Gold") for BQL, a Slovenian brothers duo.

In September 2017 they signed the contract with Warner Music and became the first Slovenian artists to sign with one of the "big three" recording companies and great chance to enter on worldwide music stage.[4]

After BQL, they are only the second Slovenian artists to peak position the national official singles charts SloTop50, with at least two singles: "Here for You" and "Diamond Duck".

Career

2014: First single

The duo of producer Raay (real name: Aleš Vovk, born 7 July 1984) and vocalist Marjetka Vovk (née Jurkovnik, born 19 July 1984), both previously members of the turbo-folk group Turbo Angels, was formed in 2014 when they released their first single "Lovin' Me". This song was among the top 20 most selling singles in Italy and a big success at iTunes music charts in Belgium, Germany, Italy and Slovenia.

It was also listed on the Polish "Bravo Hits Zima 2015" compilation. This song was among the top ten selling singles in Italy and was ranked at 34th place in the German DJ's Dance Top 100 singles chart.[5]

"Lovin' Me" charted in many countries' official singles charts: it was ranked in 13th place in the Slovenian SloTop50 chart, in 52nd in the Italian FIMI chart and in 83rd in the Belgian (Flanders) Ultratip 100 chart.

This song also topped the German Hitfire singles chart.[8][9]

In September 2015 they presented and released their third single "Living Again" at the Red Cross live charity concert in Cankar Hall, Ljubljana. It charted at 12th place in the official Slovenian singles SloTop50 chart, without any international success.[10]
