==History==
Raef was born in Washington DC and raised in Maryland to parents who immigrated from Egypt to attend graduate school. From a young age, he often went fishing, kayaking, and camping with family and friends. Growing up, music had always been an important part of his life. Raef studied Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park and graduated in 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.facebook.com/RaefMusic/info )〕 During college he sang tenor in a comedic a cappella group on campus. After graduating, Raef worked as a software engineer, developing security software for the New York Stock Exchange. Shortly afterwards, Raef abruptly quit his computer programming job to work as full-time high school teacher from 2005-2013. He said: "I decided to switch careers from a software eng. to a high school teacher because I wanted to help others in a more direct way (and because it was pretty boring sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours a day)".〔(Onbeing.org: One Voice: Raef Haggag )〕 Raef taught computer programming in Montgomery County Public Schools and was awarded "CS Teacher of the Year"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ratemyteachers.com/raef-haggag/1704536-t )〕 for implementing creative lesson plans that included songs on how to program in C++ and Java.
Teaching gave Raef more time to focus on songwriting, often performing at local coffee shops and busking at metro stations. He was introduced to the national stage after his trio rock band "Great Seneca" toured the United States of America as part of the "Voices for Change" initiative. Raef also joined the "Poetic Vision Tour"; a band of traveling musicians and poets catering to the American Muslim community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.princeton.edu/religiouslife/news/viewstory.xml?id=122 )〕 Raef did several Islamic covers of popular main-stream songs, attracting young listeners wanting a modern take on religious music
Raef signed with Awakening Records and released his debut album ''The Path'' in 2014.
