A theatre student at The Welsh College of Music and Drama, she has gone on to play some of the lead roles in Shakespeare, touring the UK and Europe. Rachel’s vocal abilities have landed her roles in award winning shows at the Edinburgh and New York Fringe. She has performed sell out gigs at top London Jazz clubs as well as venues and festivals across the UK and abroad. Her role in ‘Lansky: The Mob’s Money Man’ at The Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank and Cadogan Hall, received wide acclaim – ‘stand out performer’ London Jazz News.
