A sample of a cover song by Raphie
"rain stops, good-bye", composed by NioP

xRaphie, more commonly known as Raphie, is a YouTube singer. Her vocals range from a Len-esque alto[1] to a clear, feminine mezzo soprano[2].

Raphie covers a variety of music including VOCALOID, anime, J-pop, and Chinese songs. She sings in Japanese, English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.

Her first and most hit cover on YouTube was of "Backwards", written by Matthias. Raphie competed in Matthias's Backwards cover contest, and won top ten[3]. As a result, her channel got the attention of Matthias's fans. As of February 24, 2016, this video had over 16k views.

Raphie's next big break came from the Hong Kong online forum HKGolden. She uploaded a cover of netizen Qbear2nd's literal translyrics to "Sea Wide Sky (海闊天空)". While the original upload only got a few thousand views, her resemblance to Disney singers was heavily commented by the community[4]. A netizen then combined Raphie's cover with Frozen's Let It Go MV. As of February 27, 2016, this "Disney version" gained over 50k views and 1k likes.

In addition to singing, Raphie writes translyrics. She sometimes adds her own storylines and personal experiences to her lyrics[5]. Other than English, Raphie can also speaks Cantonese and Mandarin fluently, and demonstrates this in her Chinese covers as well as her Chinese-to-English translyrics[6].
