Rachael
Warwick's sound walks the line between nu and alternative Country/Americana
with a tinge of pop thrown in for good measure. She has a style
that has been described as "one of a kind" in fact Mark
Moffatt, her producer and Rachael originated the name "Anglo-
Americana".
The
Brit chick was born and grew up in England and listened to a wide
variety of music from around the world, but Country music was
embedded in her heart from a very early age, which arose from
a trip to Nashville when she was 13 years old.
What
makes Rachael's current success quite remarkable is that in the
late 1990' she was fronting punk/pop band "Hype" A tour
of the UK, a few music festivals, a single "Alian" and
one of Rachael' songs being used for a TV commercial for music
industry board game "Chart Moves" were the sum of the
bands career.
The
turn of the century would see Rachael evolving the sound for which
she is now known. Misfortune and fortune alike played a part in
the evolution, which would change her career for the better. Her
new sound was one that she felt best represented her personality.
It retains the cynical edge that she brought with her from the
late 90's punk/pop band yet expertly harnesses the friction caused
by the clash between the quirky eccentricities of the UK and the
more uniform US style of Alt-country/ Americana.
On
a non-musical note, Rachael has spent the last three years maintaining
a successful campaign for a day centre for adults with learning
difficulties, she even managed to gain support from Cherie Blair.
Musically,
Rachael is currently promoting her debut album "Maverick"
which was recorded at the world famous Emerald Studios and produced
by Mark Moffatt (5 times producer of the year - Australia) who
now resides in Nashville, Tennessee. Moffatts' endless credits
include INXS, Keith Urban, Deana Carter and Crowded House, amongst
others. Rachael is also in the process of choosing which tracks
from her 60 song back catalogue to put on her second album.
