Raquel Rodriguez is a multifaceted artist from Los Angeles who has made a name for herself by continually pushing her creative boundaries and navigating the music industry on her own terms. Raised in LA, Raquel was always recognized for her talent, often being labeled "the singer," yet her artistry goes far beyond that. As a singer, producer, songwriter, and performer, she blends her diverse talents to create a sound that is uniquely her own.At the heart of Raquel’s work is a commitment to authenticity. She thrives on blending personal experiences with broader societal narratives, offering a fresh perspective on womanhood, self- worth, and independence. Deeply passionate about creating art that resonates personally while challenging stereotypes, her music is an honest reflection of who she is—a fusion of soulful vocals, live instrumentation, and modern production that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Known for her soulful vocals, innovative production, and magnetic stage presence, Raquel crafts music that is as heartfelt as it is groovy.
Throughout her career, Raquel has stayed true to her vision and sound. Her breakout studio release, The 310, inspired by her LA roots, features the hit single Mile High, which garnered over 5 million streams and solidified her presence in the R&B scene. In 2021, she followed up with Sweet Side, her independently released debut album that showcased exciting collaborations with the likes of MXXWLL, Matt Johnson (Jamiroquai), and Amber Navran (Moonchild). With over 25 million streams, Sweet Side continues to resonate with fans worldwide, becoming a staple on playlists across the globe.
In October 2024, Raquel released her most personal work yet, Housewife, a project that challenges traditional stereotypes of womanhood and draws parallels between the overlooked labor of housewives and independent artists alike. The album fuses her love for music with her newfound passion for cooking, including a collection of her favorite recipes. Collaborating with familiar producers and songwriters like SammyB, Jess Best, Nigel Hall, Amber Navran, and Dux, along with new contributors like Misha, Housewife blends live musicianship with modern electronic elements, further refining her distinct sound.
