RACHEL
Rachel is a vocalist, singer-songwriter, arranger, choir leader and singing tutor with over 15 years of experience in live performance.
She's been teaching people to harmonise together for over 7 years in community choirs, virtual choirs, in schools, and with private students.
Music has been a huge part of Rachel's life since childhood - she grew up heavily influenced by Soul and RnB, and has performed in Pop, Rock, Folk/Acoustic groups throughout her career. Rachel has supported artists as a backing vocalist, performing at intimate album showcases, as well as at larger events in theatres and music festivals in the UK.
Rachel has a portfolio of choir arrangements that her members love, is a session vocalist, curates arrangements for private clients, and is also a vocal tutor for 7-12 year olds.
Rachel joined Singology in 2017 as South Croydon's leader, and it was an instant connection; she's been a part of Singology's performances at Back Together Again, V Festival, BBC Gospel Choir of the Year, Jazz Jamaica, Children in Need, and in the West End.
From the moment I joined Singology, I felt like I was at home. I love Singology because it’s about so much more than singing. It’s about bringing people together and connecting, as well as lifting each other up.
I'm passionate about teaching at South Croydon because it doesn’t feel like teaching at all - it feels like I’m singing with family.
I've got a fantastic relationship with my choir members - we've created a great environment for them to escape to on a Tuesday evening.
