Bio
Rachel Collins is a London based singer and composer with high hopes for the future. Inspired by the music of Kate Bush and Laura Marling, compared to Eliza Doolittle and Regina Spektor, her thoughtful and original songs have been appreciated across London at countless live performances and on the nation's radio waves on BBC 6Music's Introducing and LBC's Young London shows.
Tipped by many to be a star of the future, Rachel Collins is a unique solo artist committed to going the extra mile. She delivers high-energy, impressive performances of her soulful pop songs with a hugely talented and dynamic band that includes a brass section, backing vocals and percussion. Last summer Rachel and her band gave two fantastic open-air performances at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival and she hopes to take her music to more festivals in the future.
Rachel's debut EP Things To Do is a feel-good CD filled with quirky pop tunes featuring heartfelt lyrics, catchy horn riffs, bluesy melodies and anthemic choruses topped off with an expressive vocal. Whilst currently writing her debut album, Rachel continues to perform and promote her EP as much as possible and is always on the lookout for new opportunities and exciting places to play.
