Mihai Raisa a George Enescu Zeneművészeti Főiskolán szerzett klasszikus gitár és ének szakos diplomát, majd a Bukaresti Nemzeti Zeneművészeti Egyetemen végzett. Raisa 6 éves kora óta tagja az Allegretto kórusnak, amellyel több mint 20 nemzetközi versenyen és megmérettetésen vehetett részt a világ különböző részein, például Oroszországban, Törökországban és Szlovéniában. Ami a klasszikus gitárt illeti, Raisa számos nemzetközi és országos díjat nyert különböző klasszikus gitárfesztiválokon (Harmonia Cordis Nemzetközi Gitárfesztivál, Sinaia Nemzetközi Gitárfesztivál, Terra Siculorum Nemzetközi Gitárfesztivál, Szkopjei Nemzetközi Gitárfesztivál, Eduard Pamfil Gitárverseny, Pleveni Nemzetközi Gitárfesztivál). 2018-ban Ana Maria Bibescuval közösen kezdett duót alapítani, az ARTissimo Guitar Duo-t, amely eléggé hangzatos névvé vált a klasszikus zenei világban. A két gitáros négy első díjat nyert a klasszikus gitárnak szentelt nemzetközi versenyeken pályafutásuk első három hónapjában. 2019 decemberének második hetében a világ legnevesebb gitármagazinja, a Classical Guitar Magazine a "hét videójának" választotta azt a videót, amelyben az ARTissimo Duo a Manuel Maria Ponce zeneszerző ünnepe alkalmából előadja az "Intermezzo" című művet. 2021-ben az ARTissimo Guitar Duo nagy sikerű online koncertet adott "A Guitar Bravado for the Coming of Spring" címmel az "Enescu Soirees Online" rendezvény keretében, a New York-i Román Kulturális Intézet, a Radio Romania Muzical és az Isvor Kulturális Egyesület együttműködésével. 2019-ben Raisa részt vett az "Imagine Chopin" nemzetközi turnén, ahol Sînziana Mircea zongoraművésszel együtt a világ fontos színpadain debütálhatott álló ovációval kísért koncerteken. Felléptek a londoni Steinway Hallban, a Stockholmi Királyi Filharmóniában, a Sala Radio-ban, a Marosvásárhelyi Filharmóniában és az Arcuș-i Kulturális Központban. Ez a turné lenyűgöző sikert aratott, ami ahhoz vezetett, hogy a BBC RADIO 3 & EUROPEAN BROADCASTING UNION 2020-ban és 2021-ben is kiválasztotta és műsorra tűzte az "Imagine Chopin" című teljes koncertet.
