Rae's
vocal talent was discovered by accident! Whilst working overseas her career at
that time brought her into contact with professional entertainers. A highly experienced
professional (who'd worked in West End theatre) heard her singing casually 'Capella'
style when she was asked to help a Swedish singer phrase the song in English.
Although Rae didn't have any formal training, she was immediately taken on as
solo vocalist to perform for large audiences in an upscale nightclub, accompanied
by a drummer and guitarist.
Once Rae recovered from the initial stage fright
- her journey as a vocalist continued. Rae has performed in The Canaries and Spain
at 4/5 star hotels and nightclubs on stage. Rae has also performed in London and
South-East UK at hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, wine bars, private members'
clubs and many corporate and private functions, both solo and as part of a duo.
Rae
is currently performing solo, using her own 300-watt PA system and jazz/soul/blues
backing tracks. Raes' music is ideal for the 'cocktail and canapes' and 'liqueurs
and lullabys' classy vibe.
As Rae has lived and worked in Spain and duetted
with a Latin performer, she can sing Spanish with decent pronounciation. Raes'
audiences always comment on the 100% emotion she gives to her performance to enable
the meaning of the words of each song to reach the listeners. Her voice has been
described by experienced professionals as "warm", "smooth",
"rich", "tender", "sultry", "seductive",
and "clear and strong".
Any agents, musicians and producers requiring
this type of vocal for their projects, Rae would be keen to hear from you. Rae
also 'raunches' up the vocal for more upbeat numbers as required. Rae is currently
living in London but would also be happy to perform overseas on short term contracts
subject to venue and location.
