Rachel is an RnB Diva, the second lady to join RV IN© (One of Namibia’s leading record label). She thrilled the people at John 6 Studios (an RV IN© subsidiary), with her unique new-age RnB style which led to her signing with RV IN© late 2002.

Rachel was born in the hospitable Zambian City of Ndola. Her affinity for the art of music started at a tender age, while a toddler. Already at the age of 9, she became the lead singer at Sunday school. “My parents played lots of records at home when I was younger and I would always want to learn the lyrics to the songs and I guess it started there.” She recalls. “I wrote my first song when I was about 15-16 years but of course it wasn’t anything serious” she adds laughingly. She show-cased her vocal talent in high school with a long-time friend, Lyndie (One of Zambia’s own RnB Diva).

This single is her second recording, her first being a song recorded by acclaimed Zambian born producers, Saga and Keith Mutale at Muvi Studios. Unfortunately, her first professional recording was never released. Upon her high school completion, she decided to further her studies at the University of Namibia in 2001, where she later met with Stalin and Stealth, RV IN© record Executives, in October 2002 who immediately spotted her potential. Stalin and Stealth proudly recall “Signing Rachel was a great leap into the right direction. She came by at a time when RV IN© was scouting for female vocal talent. It was a great experience spending time with her in the studio, and we can’t wait to finalize the album”.

She started working on “Make it happen” in November 2002. Her dedication towards her education prompted her departure for England to complete her degree at South Chelsea College in London in November 2002 (Where she currently resides with her parents). Her affinity for music is so enormous that she decided to return to Windhoek in June 2003. Back in Windhoek, she decided to resume work on her album in June. Stalin recalls “I was static, thrilled and amazed at what the love of music could do. My partners were equally happy to have Rachel back in the RV Matrix”.

“Make it happen” is her first single of her debut album. The single features the vocal contribution of Ms Tia, Stealth and Stalin. In addition, Rachel attributes her inspiration to her parents, India.Arie, Brandy, Brian Mcknight and many others. Rachel thanks her producers, her parents, her boyfriend, her friends and everyone who supported her in the past and thanks her prospective fans in advance. Rachel believes that “it’s never too soon to realize your dreams and aspirations. If you have a dream. She adds “Don’t ever let it go… keep working on it never let up". And may God bless all of Africa (Let’s stop the fighting, let’s work towards a better Africa).
