| In
a world of overnight sensations, Rachel Brown has come from the
road less traveled. In an era where most singers are "auto-tuned,"
manufactured and packaged for entertainment value, Rachel Brown
brings the total package to the table; A powerful, yet sophisticated
blend of beauty and exceptional natural vocal talent.
A mainstay in
the South Florida entertainment market for nearly decade, Rachel
is now developing a national following, playing venues across the
U. S. in cities such as New York, Chicago, St. Louis, and Dallas.
Rachel has also been featured at SXSW (Austin), The Black Women’s
Expo (Chicago), as well as opening for headliners such as Frankie
Beverly & Maze, Mario, Tank, Noel Gourdin & Confunkshun.
And the results are the same each time Rachel leaves the stage.
Reviewers of Rachel's work repeatedly say that audiences experience
a rare and powerful performance the likes of that reserved for names
like Celine, Whitney or Mariah.
Rachel’s
passion for music flows through her blood and fills her heart and
soul. That is why in 2007 she began work on her debut CD which features
a delicate blend of R&B dance grooves, love songs, and inspirational
messages. "I want my music to move my listeners not just on
the dance floor....but to encourage, motivate and heal, " states
Rachel. "Singing is a natural high for me. It takes me to another
realm. Those are the feelings I want my audience to experience too.
I want to lead them on a personal journey of rediscovery. I really
want to inspire each listener,” says Rachel, who prefers to
refer to her debut disc entitled “Love, Life & Relationships,”
as ‘medication for the mind.
On her critically
acclaimed 14-song independent disc the singer/songwriter introduces
a new and exciting R&B sound with a splash of “old school”
flavor. With powerful vocals and insightful lyrics, Rachel delicately
blends the smoothness of Anita Baker, the sensitivity and consciousness
of Oprah, and the soul of Aretha Franklin, as she explores the deepest
emotions within our heart and soul.
Signed to Urban
Music Group in 2007, Rachel’s early notoriety came about due
to the success of her debut single “Let’s Fall In Love
Again,” which reached #1 on the Billboard R&B Single Sales
Chart in the spring of 2007. The single soon gained the attention
of television shows such as WSVN’s (FOX) Deco Drive, as well
as landing feature stories in the Miami Herald and Ft. Lauderdale
Sun Sentinel. The single has generated airplay on over 30 radio
stations across the U.S., which landed it on the Mediabase Top 100
R&B songs chart.
Born and raised
in Lufkin, Texas, Rachel grew up like many of her diva idols singing
in the church. Rachel's own musical journey began at the age of
6 when she started singing and studying piano. She sang in choirs
and gospel groups while attending grade school through high school.
Rachel’s
buzz is real, and it doesn't require a crystal ball to predict that
you'll be hearing much more from Rachel Brown. |
