About Me

Rachel Miers has been classically trained since the age of 5, performing since the age of 7 and composing since the age of about 9... the darker electo that her music has evolved into began taking shape in the 90's (under the pseudonym RAVeN) and existed as hand written manuscripts until her hard work in Sydney & London started to pay off and she finally entered the age of technology. Then the fun and magick really began. Upon returning to Adelaide and teaming up with good friend and musical sprite Hannah McKechnie, RAVeN became RAVeNK8 & the pair began to jam together in mid 2006. Collaborating with DMC MixMaster Champion Hob-G & Producer Justin (who together form ModeMasters), their first collaborative efforts can be found posted to this site under Videos.Rachel's Bio: Pianist (since 1980), Harpist (since 1982), Composer (since 1984), granted music scholarships to Marryatville, Brighton & Pembroke (1986), Special Music student at Marryatville (1987-91), Elder Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra (1990-94), Vocalist (1990), studied Bachelor of Music (Performance Major) at Elder Conservatorium (1992-94), IBM Scholarship for Excellence and Outstanding Achievement in the Performing Arts (1994), Australian Youth Orchestra (1994), South Australian Youth Orchestra (1998-91), Producer (2005).
