Rachel’s vocal ability has landed her roles in award winning shows at the Edinburgh and New York Fringe festivals. Her theatrical training is at the core of every song, moreover her charming flair and easy rapport with her audience has gained her a first-class reputation across both theatre and music.

Rachel’s role in Lansky: The Mob’s Money Manat The Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank and Cadogan Hall received widespread acclaim, with UK Jazz News calling her a “stand out performer… a revelation”. Her debut album, A Million Conversations (released on 33 Jazz Records), received rave reviews, celebrated for its personal approach which saw Rachel reach poignant levels of self-expression. Realms continues along this path of deep emotion, adding some vibrant and captivating optimism, reflecting a new stage in Rachel’s journey as an artist and performer.

The album is further enhanced by a dream team of players consisting of Roland Perrin on piano, Curtis Ruiz on bass and Paul Robinson on drums – all longstanding collaborators and excellent musicians in their own right, who’s synergy with Rachel’s voice creates a magnetic quality to the recording, making Realms a sublimely engaging listen.

Speaking about the new album, Rachel says: This album has been a true labour of love for me in countless ways. Realms is a world made up of many parts, drawing on stories from different moments in my life, and as a result, each piece is entirely its own. Together, they form a landscape that is cross-genre by nature—an eclectic blend of emotions, sounds, and sensations. When I write, I don’t confine myself to a genre, I like to let what feels good guide me. Every song on this album tells its own story. Drawing on my theatrical background, I’ve woven in moments of drama and humour, and I hope the result is something deeply personal yet universally resonant—something listeners can find themselves reflected in.

Realms will be launched on 10th March 2026 at at Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho, London – don’t miss the chance to witness the magic of this project in a live setting tickets here
