Raini Alena Rodriguez was born on July 1, 1993 in Bryan, Texas. Her parents, Diane and Roy Rodriguez, own a business called Rodriguez Tire Service.
As a young girl, Rodriguez enjoyed acting. One day, at an IMTA showcase, Raini was discovered by Susan Osser, a Californian talent agent. After viewing Raini's performance, Osser suggested to Raini's mother if Osser could become Raini's manager and to come to California to give Raini a year for career opportunities. At the time, Raini was eleven years old. Her mother agreed to Osser's proposal. Raini (alongside with Rico, her little brother, who also was signed a talent manager) moved to Los Angeles. Diane accompanied them temporarily while Roy stayed in Bryan to run the tire shop. Their mother even home-schooled them to support their blooming career.
