Tessa Rain is a New Zealand singer-songwriter best known for her collaboration with Fly My Pretties. She wrote the songs Carrier Pigeon and Smoke Me from The Return of Fly My Pretties, and Mauri from A Story.

Tessa has also collaborated with Age Pryor; together they released the album Homerecordings. The song Funny Shadow from this album was written by her and was later featured in the film Eagle vs Shark.

Rain has also made appearances as a harmony singer and has contributed to several popular recordings, including Jess Chambers and the Firefly Orchestra, Age Pryor’s Shanks’ Pony and City Chorus, and Ryan Prebble’s Fruits.
