Rachel Rachel Bio

Rachel Rachel is a singer songwriter from the mid north coast of New South Wales. Given two first names by her parents, she knew from a young age that she was born to have her name(s) in lights.

Rachel was born into a family of musicians. Partly due to this, but mostly due to the fact that there was very little to do in the small country town she grew up in, she began writing songs from a very young age. At age eight she performed her first original song live on local radio. At 16, she was flown to Sydney to perform at the opening of Education Week. This sparked her love of live performance and soon after this, she moved to Sydney and formed the duo Falling Down Stairs with her cousin. They gained a solid local fan base performing along the East Coast of Australia in venues from Sydney to Hamilton Island. They supported Angus & Julia Stone and performed live on tv and radio.

Rachel recently moved to Darwin to focus on her solo music career. Rachel’s sound has been described as Ellie Goulding-meets-Ed Sheeran. With her unique vocal styling, she has knack for writing songs with raw, relatable lyrics, fast flow and catchy melodies. So far 2017 has seen her win a spot on the Bass in the Grass Festival lineup, perform as a guest artist with Thundamentals, on the lineup for Shore Club, open for the Pierce Brothers and most recently, open for Diesel. She has spent the last year writing new songs for her solo EP due for release by the end of the year.
