Rachel has been gigging in the local Adelaide music scene for over a decade. She first started her career busking in Rundle Mall and has since gone on to refine her skills in the original and cover music scene.

Rachel has featured as a vocalist on tracks and works as a backing singer for several artists over the years. More recently, she’s focused her talent on her own RnB inspired band, Portra. Rachel loves jazz influenced music, whether that be a jazz standard, an RnB banger, or even a re-arranged pop tune. From golden oldies to the latest chart toppers, Rachel can adapt to her audience with ease.

Rachel has passionately pursued music from a young age.Her childhood was marked and moved by music. Her entire family played instruments and there was always something playing on the stereo to suit and shape the mood, which formed a great foundation for her professional music career and her ability to curate setlists that set the tone for an event, whilst also reading the room and adapting the vibe as needed.

From a career perspective, she feels ridiculously lucky to get to spend her days teaching, listening to and performing music.
