Rachel McFarlane biography

Rachel McFarlane was born and raised in Manchester, UK. She started singing at the age of 12 years old in gospel choirs. 3 years later, as she was only 15, she recorded How Sleep the Brave with MC Buzz B. In 1991 she was featured on 808 State's song 10 x 10. Then she did vocals for Family Foundation, a group signed to Pete Waterman’s 380 Records. Her powerful voice was also featured by N-Trance on eurodance hit Turn Up The Power...

She then became the female vocalist for the band Loveland (Let The Music Lift You Up, Don't Make Me Wait, I Need Somebody, The Wonder Of Love). Afterwards, she replaced Diane Charlemagne in Urban Cookie Collective, and was also featured by K-Klass on single K2 in 1998. The same year, she released a solo single entitled Lover, with remixes by Forthright, Truman & Wolff, Allister Whitehead.

Then in 2000, everything stopped. Rachel suffered from Grave's disease, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid and generates a goiter, and was unable to sing during more than 2 years. While recovering, she became a vocal teacher in Manchester and Cheshire.

In 2004, Rachel's voice was featured by the project LMC for the song Take Me To The Clouds Above. She also appeared on the video. LMC (stands for the Large Magellanic Cloud, and also for the first letters of the producers' first name : Lee, Matt and Chris) is a remixers project who did remixes for Scooter, Lasgo and Robert Palmer. Take Me To The Clouds Above, released on the 26th of January, combined a sample from U2's With Or Without You (released in 1987) and and the lyrics from How Will I Know by Whitney Houston (originally from 1986). It went up to #1 in the UK charts in February and sold over 200 000 copies in this country. Then it was released in other countries, such as Ireland where it went Top Five in Ireland, and Top Ten in Australia. It peaked at #9 on the Danish singles chart and #2 on the Danish dancechart. She also appeared in West End musicals and recorded some solo tracks planned for release in 2004.

2006 : Rachel's voice was once again featured on a LMC single. You Get What You Give entered the UK charts end of January at #30.

2015 : in December, Rachel collaborated to charity single Echoes of Love with Greater Manchester Churches Together.

2016 : new from Rachel, single Let Nothing, a collaboration with Nick Hussey.

2020 : Rachel released a gospel single entitled Praise Him
