AGE: 26 LOCATION: LONDON JOB: MOTHER MENTORED BY: DANNII MINOGUE
Rachel is the oldest of three children and since the age of five years old has always had the dream to be a singer. Her parents split up when she was nine years old and after that she lost control and direction. At the age of 13 she had the first of five children and life spiralled out of control, problems with drugs led to a spell in prison and eventually three of her children were taken into care. After the birth of her fourth child she was determined to change her life for the better and now looks after her youngest two children.
Music has always been important to Rachel and from an early age she sang in her school choir or at Sunday school. At the age of 13 yrs old she won a ghetto blaster for coming first in a singing competition performing Whitney Houston’s ‘Greatest Love Of All’.
She grew up listening to reggae music (inspired by her Jamaican parents) and tries hard to sing every day. She’s only ever had one music lesson in her life and everything else is self taught.
Rachel currently lives in London with her two youngest children and rates music as the saving grace during the hard times in her life.
Rachel’s family have been so supportive of her, people she hasn’t seen in ages are getting back in touch and she’s recognised in the street. Her kids are really excited and proud of her too which means the absolute world to Rachel.

I am helping another great charitable group, Cat House on the Kings, that is helping cats and dogs get a second chance on a beautiful 12 acre sanctuary in Fresno, CA! If you could please do one of these things or both I would GREATLY appreciate it! No you won't have bad luck for 7 years if you don't do this or you will not lose someone you love or anything chain-mail-like. Please just do it because you are good person.

I'm spreading the word about a great animal sanctuary called Cat House on the Kings- check it out: http://www.cathouseonthekings.com/facility.php They are really amazing. There is a Youtube video on this link that shows these rad homeless cats doing their thing without cages on 12 acres of fenced in land. It's beautiful!! There are even a few dogs running among them.
I'm really upset Rachel's been voted out of the X Factor. I picked her out as my favourite & a potential winner in the first week of auditions. My favourite of her performances was the big band week - she was awesome that week ! Rachel, please keep singing, we all want to hear more of you. XXX
