In 1985 Rachel was born at Denver, Colorado to an artistic Mother and her father was an FBI Agent.
Rachel sings Country, Rock and Latin music and sounds as if you take Wynonna and Jo Dee Messina’s power and control, and Mary Chapin Carpenter and Patty Loveless’ sass and mix it in a blender. Rachel’s influences are Patty Loveless, Gary Allan, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rascal Flatts, Jo Dee Messina, Wynonna Judd, George Strait, and Kenny Chesney, just to name a few. “I want people to realize that music binds us all and takes away all of the barriers that hold us back from connecting as humans.”
Rachel started singing any minute that she could often request to be excused from the dinner table to go lock herself in the bathroom and stand on her step-stool to look in the mirror and sing for long periods of time. She was involved in church and school choirs, church and school musicals and plays even when the family was forced to relocate to southern California where Rachel presently resides. In high school, Rachel excelled at Performing Arts and during her senior year she was an award winning Female Lead in a high school musical. Rachel also performed at local bars, taverns and music halls as long as the bouncers were not aware of her underage status.
Rachel imparts the following, “My soul is drawn to convey inspiration and an all around sense of connection when I sing. I want to hit the core of every emotion my audience is or has experienced. I want my audience to relate to what I am saying and feel good about who they are and what they are doing in life. I also want to motivate my audience to shoot for the stars and realize their dreams. I want them to know anything is possible!”
During high school, Rachel opened for Toto and Chely Wright during a Summer Concert Series. She opened for a friend Nick Ashton and the Tin Rooster at the famous Crazy Horse Saloon and was part of an opening act for Dan Hicks at the Coach House. Rachel is now connecting herself in the San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, and Nashville music scenes and there are rapid responses to her branching out.
Rachel has accomplished much at a young age, her life experiences are varied and she believes these are just small stepping stones to what is to come. Rachel has connected with a number of Country genre Songwriters and is planning her first CD release. Rachel regularly seeks the advise of Bill Boocock, for voice control, and gigs with Will Glover, of Pyramids band fame, to remain inspired and realize her own dream.
