About Me

“ One of the few musicians who can make you totally aware of yourself, the music and where you are all at once”Enchanting vocals and insightful lyrics form the core of Dublin born singer Rachel O'Brien's impressive musical ability. From an early age Rachel showed a tremendous love for music and began to hone her abilities as a singer and musician. After college Rachel decided to travel the world, visiting Europe, Canada, South America and the USA, performing in a host of venues and gaining a wealth of experience. She decided to return home to Ireland to focus on her ever present need to concentrate on her music career, starting with the expanding Irish music scene. Travelling through so many different places gave Rachel a very real insight into herself and she began writing original material for the very first time. This proved to be a massive turning point for the young artist as she truly found her voice, blending influences such as folk, trad, rock and pop to create a sound that has the potential to move listeners and engage audiences across the country. Her talents have wowed audiences in the Sugar Club in Dublin, Slatterys, The Button Factory, The Cobblestone pub and a host of other venues around the country. Rachel certainly is a talent to watch in the coming months with her music best described by Hot Press as "An impressive debut which augurs well for the future."
