Becoming famous on American Idol
In 2015, Rayvon tried out for the fourteenth season of American Idol. He sang "Wide Awake" by Katy Perry for his audition. The judges liked him, and he made it into the Top 24, and then even the Top 12!
During the show, Rayvon was often in the bottom group of contestants who might be eliminated. But he kept getting saved by fans! For five weeks in a row, he was in the bottom two, but fans voted for him on Twitter to keep him in the competition. This amazing comeback earned him the nicknames "Twitter King" and "Comeback Kid." He was the only person that season to be saved by the Twitter Fan Save. Rayvon ended up finishing in fourth place on the show. After American Idol, he joined the Idols Live Tour, performing for fans across the country.

In January 2018, Rayvon was chosen as Elvis Duran's Artist of the Month. This is a special honor that helps new artists get noticed. He was even featured on the TV show Today, where he performed his song "Gold" for a large audience.
