My Story

Raiah Rofsky (she/they) is a composer, orchestrator, and copyist located in New York City. Her music has been produced and performed at Phoenix Theatre Company, the Hollywood Fringe Festival, 54 Below, Joe's Pub, 52nd St. Project, Rattlestick Theater, and Prospect Theater Company. Raiah is currently part of the third cohort of the MTF Makers™ program alongside librettist Nay Harris, where they are continuing to write their thesis musical Inevitable Transitions, an original '90s coming-of-age supernatural story. Most recently, Raiah and collaborator Danielle Koenig, became finalists for the fifth volume of Write Out Loud with their song "Start This Car." Raiah had the immense pleasure to be a part of the 2021-2022 Maestra Mentorship program, where she was (and continues to be) the mentee of Broadway copyist, Emily Grishman. As a queer, Jewish, and neurodivergent artist, Raiah is dedicated to centering her artistic practices around lifting up marginalized voices. When she is not writing, she enjoys embroidery, drinking iced coffee, and cooking elaborate meals that take too long to make.

Sexual Orientation
iSexual orientation describes a person's enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction to another person.

Bisexual/Queer

Gender Identity
iOne’s internal, deeply held sense of gender. Some people identify completely with the gender they were assigned at birth (usually male or female), while others may identify with only a part of that gender, or not at all. Some people identify with another gender entirely. Unlike gender expression, gender identity is not visible to others.

Gender Non-Conforming

Race/Ethnicity
iRacial identity is the qualitative meaning one ascribes to one’s racial group, whereas ethnic identity is a concept that refers to one’s sense of self as a member of an ethnic group. At their core, both constructs reflect an individual’s sense of self as a member of a group; however, racial identity integrates the impact of race and related factors, while ethnic identity is focused on ethnic and cultural factors. We celebrate our Keys’ intersectionality and understand that creating one’s racial/ethnic identity is a fluid and nonlinear process that varies for every person. Many folks will identify with more than one background while others will identify with a single group more broadly.
