Rachael came to us through a cold open on LinkedIn. We were immediately struck by her versatility. The fact that she could effortlessly pivot from a modern cinematic vocal approach epitomized in movies like Gladiator to contemporary pop to more of a concert-hall soprano style immediately communicated that creatively she was a musical Swiss-Army Knife - capable of fulfilling many different types of brief.

As someone who has set herself up to independently record she is a one-stop-shop, offering a turn-key solution able to turn work around swiftly and iteratively without need of a large format studio or pro tools engineer.

By coincidence, we were working on the score for a feature film - a psychological thriller called ‘The Waterhouse’ which received its world premiere at CineWorld in London’s Leicester Square. Vocals were pivotal in the musical storytelling and we needed to create an iconic vocal signature that could be used through the film whilst fitting into a broader musical canvas that was simultaneously inspired by Delibes opera ‘Lakme’ and more contemporaneously, Johann Johansson’s ‘Drone Mass’.

To say that Rachael knocked it out of the park is an understatement. Reviews of the film have been positive with the music drawing particular acclaim and Rachael’s haunting vocals being of particular note.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rachael to fellow composers of applied music - Film, TV, Commercials and Video Games. She is a slick operator who is completely client focused and who is able to collaboratively and swiftly turn around world class work. Fundamentally, she is a versatile and necessary instrumental colour for any composer considering a vocal approach.
