Artist + Producer + Writer + Owner at Candid Crush Music

W E L C O M E

I’m Rachel, the owner at Candid Crush Music. Our goal is to help artists develop their craft and remain true to their brand: who you are. No matter how different or similar you feel to other artists, there is no one with your voice and particular set of experiences. We help artists discover exactly what qualities make them unique, and develop a plan that helps them get that message to their fans.

With twenty years experience as an independent artist, I have experienced the extreme highs and lows of this industry. While my personal goal was not to sign to a label and tour the world, I found great satisfaction in developing my own sound and performance style, while working with some well known players in the industry, as they have taught me to focus on my artisty and personal craft. Even if numbers and popularity are your game, surviving long term in a volatile, ever changing industry will require a bullet proof sense of self.

Having been raised in an alcoholic family, lived in five countries as a mother, surviving cancer and three other near death experiences, I bring some powerful persectives to the table. As I become more public with upcoming plans, some of these perspectives will reveal themesevles with a little more clarity. Let me know how you connect or disagree with me, as I’m sure to ruffle some feathers. However, my main objective is to help people consider a more holistic view of this life.

If you’re interested in having one on one artist support and development, please apply by emailing me on the contact page. We are a boutique company, and only accept only five clients every January at the moment. While we may grow in the future, this current format means you will get the attention and care that you need to get your career as a musician up and running. If you have other smaller, one time requests, you’ll find those options on the contact page as well.

M U S I C R E L E A S E S

I released my first album Unpainting Roses in 2011, which acts as an abstract journal of the darker honest truths of my childhood, hung above a bombastic marching band rock sound.

While surviving cancer in the middle of motherhood, over a ten year period, I created an album Saturday Sunrise, a Radiohead/London Grammar dream state rock album that dives deep into holding on through the storm, without feeling heavy. Released August of 2023.

Mama Cracked is a large body of work of poetry, screaming, heavy breathing, anger, soft tones, and collabs with rap artists and r&b vocalists, splashed with unapologetic truth bombs. Album release due in January 2025. 

Thanks for being here. Please drop me a line if you’re an artist in need of development and guidance, we have your back. If you’re a music fan or in need of a weekly pick me up, sign up for the newsletter below, or simply drop me a line, I would love to hear from you.

Love, Rachel
