At the age of seven, Rachael discovered her passion for singing—a gift she attributes to God. Self-trained and a pianist by ear, she quickly developed an ear for harmonies, allowing her to explore her musical talents with ease.
Rachael began her musical journey in church, performing her first solo at ten years old with "Somebody Love Me" by Michael W. Smith. Little did she know, nearly a decade later, she would sing with him on one of his albums.
By thirteen, Rachael had already made her television debut on the Ann Varnum Show in Dothan, Alabama, and won the Most Promising Singer Award at the Northside Malls Music Contest in Dothan. Her move to Birmingham, Alabama and attendance at Hoover High School further nurtured her musical and songwriting skills. At seventeen, she began collaborating with renowned Producer/Songwriter Marc Phillips, which led to the release of her first CD, Unbelievable Love, three years later. The album featured her original songs "Satisfied" and "The Road," which aired on several radio stations across the Southeast.
Rachael’s career gained momentum as she opened for renowned artists such as J. Moss, Salvador, Jars of Clay, and Big Daddy Weave. During the early years of Church of the Highlands’ launch in Birmingham, she also served as one of its primary worship leaders. In addition to her live performances, Rachael lent her voice to commercial jingles for major brands including McDonald’s and Williamson Medical Center in Nashville. She also has been in several music videos for artists such as Brandon Heath “Give Me Your Eyes” and Salvador “What Would It Be Like”.
Relocating to Nashville allowed Rachael to further pursue her dreams. She appeared on two episodes of The 700 Club and worked on her second music project, “The First Noel”, while performing for various events and festivals including CTN Network’s “Bridges”. Her contributions to Michael W. Smith’s Hymns album reached fans nationwide. In 2016, Rachael had the incredible opportunity to sing with Carrie Underwood at the CMT Awards. Rachael has also been a Production Assistant for American Idol and the GMA Dove Awards. Rachael was honored as the first musical artist to be featured on the cover of Christian Vogue Magazine’s Teen Vogue edition.
Globally, Rachael has performed in countries such as Cambodia, Thailand, Nepal, and Israel. She has collaborated with top industry writers, including Krissy Nordhoff and Jennifer McGill of the Mickey Mouse Club enhancing her musical repertoire.
As a guest on Atlanta Live and Atlanta & Company, Babbie’s House, Friends and Neighbors and more, Rachael has touched millions of viewers. She has been featured on National and Internation radio stations including 93.7 WDJC, Revocation Radio, WIAM Radio, and Victory 91.5 FM, The Antidote, Effect Radio and more!

She has had the honor of singing the National Anthem for various sports teams, including the Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Dream, The Savannah Bananas and the Kansas City Royals to name a few, and was a top finalist on Nationally Syndicated The Bert Show for a Thanksgiving song contest.
