Rachel More
For as far back as she can remember, Rachel grew up to the sound of music constantly playing, her mum always singing or humming along to the radio as she bustled around in the kitchen.
At 14... after unintentionally auditioning for a lead part in The Wizard of Oz… she was told she had a good voice but should “get it properly trained to get the best out of it.” A comment that cemented Rachel’s love of learning and training which continues to this day.
Following university she spent 10 years in the corporate sector in London though never quite understood why she never really felt fulfilled either professionally or emotionally.
