Bio

Rachel Leo’s first release Conversation saw her land on the Hot NZ Singles charts, pack out her first show, be featured on TVNZ’s Breakfast, build a fanbase of 17,000 across socials and secure spots on the line-ups of some of the country’s biggest festivals - Soundsplash 2023 and Rhythm & Vines 2021-22 (cancelled due to Covid-19), no easy feat for an independent artist.

A 3-time recipient of NZ On Air funding, she worked with Alex Wildwood (The Veronicas, Broods) under the New Music Development initiative last year and was awarded the New Music Single grant to support the release of her next two singles. After studying a Bachelor of Music and honing her writing style, she has been collaborating with the likes of Drax Project, Chores, Lauren Gin and Lee Mvtthews. Her songs have been placed on playlists including Apple Music’s New Music Daily, YouTube’s Released and Spotify’s New Music Friday.

With Rachel taking inspiration from the likes of Kiana Ledé, Maggie Rogers, Dua Lipa and Yebba, it comes as no surprise that she enjoys writing under all areas of the pop umbrella. An eagerly awaited release, her next single Last Call was written with and produced by NZ pop heavyweights, Drax Project and marks the start of Leo’s next chapter.
