Rachel is the enchantress behind the mystical persona of Stevie Nicks. Hailing from the vibrant city of Philadelphia, her love for music was instilled at a young age. Growing up in a household where music was not just a passion but a way of life, her parents (both musicians), laid the foundation for her deep-rooted love for the art. She embarked on formal musical training at the age of 16, eventually earning a BFA in Musical Theater from Shenandoah Conservatory. Drawing inspiration from iconic voices like Stevie Nicks, Susan Tedeschi, Eva Cassady, and Bonnie Raitt, Rachel's musical tapestry is woven with threads of soulful expression. As the embodiment of Stevie Nicks, the magic extends beyond the music, transforming into a spiritual experience that forges an ethereal connection with the audience. Outside the spotlight, Rachel finds solace in the company of family, friends, her canine companions, and passionately cheering for Philadelphia sports.
