Rachel McGoye has released 5 albums (4 of them independently), she's never had a manager, an agent, a booker or an assistant and she's weathered some eight years in the central pop tart manufacturer known as Los Angeles. "Change this"," be this way", "wear that", "look like this" are the very words that inspired Rachel McGoye to write the title track of her recently released 4th E.P titled 'Ghetto Gloss' produced by Alex Band (formerly The Calling). Rachel's music can be heard on various college radio stations across the globe as well as Pandora and ITUNES.
Having obtained a B.A from the acclaimed Berklee College of Music, Boston, Rachel then headed to L.A, to pursue her dream of being a Singer/Songwriter. After a few years of writing and playing several shows a year, solo and with a band, McGoye independently released her first acoustic E.P titled " What Day Is It?" With the release of her E.P came the attraction of several Indie labels. In January of 2007, Rachel signed with 10spot Records out of Encino, CA and started recording her first full-length release titled "Beautiful Disaster." Produced by Steve Harvey (The Temptations) and recorded at Studio at the Shores in Malibu, CA, Rachel had the astounding opportunity to record with some of L.A.'s most sought after studio musicians who have been playing for artists such as The Temptations, Chaka Kahn , Rufus Wainwright, Lauryn Hill and several other amazing artists.
As a one woman army, McGoye has made some serious strides including opening up for American Idol runner-up, Kellie Pickler, at the Pineapple Festival in Jensen Beach, Florida, showcasing as a main stage artist for the 2007 NACA Regional west Conference, a 3 month cross country solo/acoustic tour, playing in 26 cities and states across the U.S. and an appearance on Fuel TV's 'The Daily Habit' as the first ever female acoustic performer on the show.
She shows no signs of slowing down with plans in the making for a west coast spring 2011 tour.
