At age 17, Raquel Garcia is bursting into the music industry with the unique talent, confidence, and vocal capabilities of an artist well beyond her years. While growing up in Colorado as the eldest sibling of seven who recently lost her father, it's no surprise that a young woman like Garcia might mature more quickly than the average teenage girl. But the level she's at musically--that many artists could only dream of accomplishing one day--is far less expected.
Garcia caught the attention of legendary concert promoter Chuck Morris at a fundraising event for Denver's own Mayor Michael B. Hancock back in 2017 and has grown into a beloved local artist in the city of Denver since. She started out small but busy at age 13, singing 3-4 times a weekend for private events in her hometown for both Spanish and English speaking events, and has graduated to perform in iconic lineups featuring the likes of Dave Matthews, Willie Nelson, and Bonnie Raitt. Her talent has also attracted the attention of Peter Asher, who, after gaining permission, had Raquel record two tracks originally written by Ed Sheeran & Matthew Sheeran.
Raquel has signed with music industry powerhouse CAA and is hoping to release her first album, produced by legend Peter Asher, next year. What can you expect from the record? Warm, honey tones and a vocal range like none other. Garcia has the rare ability to jump from a delicate, whispery touch to a full-throated, sonorous sound within the same breath, evoking comparisons to Adele, Whitney Houston, Annie Lennox, and most of all, a young Linda Ronstadt. Staying true to her Mexican heritage, Garcia intends to release music in both of her fluent languages - English and Spanish.
