Counting hundreds of thousands of plays on YouTube and Spotify, BBC Radio 6 artist Rachel Croft has been packing out venues across Europe and gracing the main stages of festivals including Wickham, Lindisfarne and Costa Del Folk Portugal since 2017. With a voice described as “truly exceptional” by BBC Introducing, her rich lyricism and blend of cinematic rock, soul and folk styles have gained Rachel an impressive international fanbase. Her music has been featured on major blogs such as Louder Than War and Tom Robinson’s Fresh On The Net and on radio stations across the UK, US, Europe and Australia. Rachel’s liberating new EP 'Reap What You Sow' released on the 3rd September 2021 was described as “dramatic and powerhouse” by New Noise Magazine; this dark, bluesy, and female forward soundtrack combined with Rachel’s strong stage presence is one performance not to be missed.

A Nottingham-born, York-made singer songwriter, Rachel Croft grew up with her roots set deep in folk music and the arts. Teaching herself guitar during her university years, she broke free from the well trodden path to graft her way as an independent musician and artist through busking, and has never looked back.

Over the years, Rachel’s music has branched and evolved into a more genre-fluid sound; it is cinematic, powerful, often moody, with hints of soul and the sounds of the 70s. But above all else, voice is king. Her rich and varied range, strong stage presence and song writing abilities have landed her in the spotlight of many UK festival stages and venues in Europe, catching the attentions of BBC Music, csgm blog, POPMUZIK and Liverpool Sound and Vision.
