Rachel Lorin believes in finding beauty in the unbeautiful, an incessant search that began with her roots in Atlanta, Georgia. Born in the South and shaped by New York City, she has a wide, diverse history in music, and at only 23, the singer/songwriter already has a storied career. From beginning modeling at 9 to singing the National Anthem at the US Open at 12 and then eventually launching her musical career on the reality TV series Next Big Thing, her experiences over the past decade have finally helped her find her artistic footing—she’s a rock girl in a pop world.

Rachel is dauntlessly authentic, now shedding her roots beyond teenage pop star into embracing the beauty that is hidden behind glamour. This sensibility is what separates Rachel from her musical contemporaries. Her music is concerned with issues that young people face every day, and she finds power in tackling these problems with sharp writing that drips with her dark sense of humor.

Fresh off a tour with full band support and with the new album Worship The Unbroken on the horizon, Rachel is gearing up to take on the world with her unique storm of biting realism and a darkly poetic vision. She’s an artist brimming with ideas and enthusiasm, constantly digging for elegance at its most obscure sources. At her core, Rachel is swirling with tenacity and searing bravado, and she’s unafraid to bear it all in her music and its delivery on the stage.
