From Rakell's childhood it was evident that she was destined to be a star. Born in Fortaleza, Brazil, to musician parents, she grew up in a household that was always full of musical inspiration. From as early as the age of 5, she started performing in a group that performed at schools, family functions and local restaurants.
At the age of 13, she started her own group: the ¨Tentacoes¨ and began performing at more professional gigs. It was at these performances that Rakell began receiving the exposure to a vibrant public that convinced her of her future life as a musician.
In 1999 Rakell moved to Barcelona with her family, balancing studies with music and dance, still participating in local dance groups whenever possible. On her first trip to Jamaica in 2003, she fell in love with the music and the culture of Dancehall. She spent two years in Jamaica exploring the vibrant musical culture of the small Caribbean island and did many live broadcasted interviews and performances on popular television stations such as MTV Tempo, Smile Jamaica, Cash Flow, CTV, Village TV, RETV, TVJ, CVM and . She also appeared in quite a few Caribbean magazines, getting the cover of Teenage Observer, Spark, Flash News, Straight Jacket and Hear Dem and receiving articles and spreads in Totally U, Speak, Entertainment Now, Mark my Words and 876 magazines.
Rakell has had several live performances at the trendy Village Café and Up on the Roof, and performed at the popular Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival and other popular reggae festivals in 2007. Rakell also completed her first tour in 2007; the Hype TV School Tour where she performed at different schools around Jamaica where the students went crazy for her unique style and great stage performances.
Since Rakell moved to Jamaica, she created shockwaves with her sexy style, fresh sound and vibrant stage presence. After recording with some top Jamaican producers, Rakell released her first single "If You Ready” with an accompanying video clip. The video for the single gained number one status on the RETV MVP Charts and held strong for over 3 months! Rakell’s second single; “What U Like” is currently rotating on the local radio stations in and across the Caribbean.
The single and video are getting rave reviews, moving up the charts to garner her a second number one hit in the Caribbean! Rakell’s last gig in Jamaica was a great honor for her as she opened for Billy Ocean, James Ingram and The Manhattans on a huge 2 night blow out in Ocho Rios and Kingston.
Currently, Rakell is living London but she is making plans to relocate to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue her musical career. She has hooked up with some fresh producers in the UK, Spain and Sweden and is gaining immense popularity among the pop circuit in Europe. Plans are in the works for a video for her new single “BAD BOY” and she is currently working the club circuit in and around Europe! Look out for her, she’s hot and ready to take her music to the world!
