Info for A Million Conversations
Rachel Sutton's album is a creation of beautifully crafted original compositions and covers which is by turns achingly tender, yet sassy and seductive. Lovers meet and they part. The rejected drink and forget. And loved ones are lost forever. The rich tapestry of life runs through this album in seven captivating songs that are both haunting and uplifting.
"Rachel has that uncanny ability to emphasise the effect of some notes by deliberately landing just under the tone and rising to it, just on occasion ( when she actually aims for a note she spots it head on) which is an incredible tool for singers who want to add emotive meaning to lyrics and few master it naturally. Rachel does and I am willing to bet it is almost without thinking. An impressive album and the music is of the highest quality." (Jazzviews, Sammy Stein)

Her extensive repertoire, including her own compositions, is both an exciting and moving experience for her audiences.

Jazz Views hailed the album as “a revelation… the music is of the highest quality.”
Her theatrical training is at the core of every song, and her flair for entertainment and easy rapport with an audience has gained her a first class reputation.
Rachel was born and raised in the Kent countryside and grew up listening to the romantic ballads of Cole Porter and George Gershwin, the soulful sounds of Stevie Wonder and Billy Joel and the haunting beauty of Joni Mitchell, Janis Ian and Judy Collins.
A theatre student at Glamorgan University and The Welsh College of Music and Drama, she went on to play some of the lead roles in Shakespeare, touring the UK and Europe. Rachel’s vocal abilities landed her roles in award winning shows at the Edinburgh and New York Fringe, and this propelled her into the world of singing full time.
Rachel has performed sell out gigs at top London Jazz clubs as well as venues and festivals across the UK and abroad. Her role in Lansky: The Mob’s Money Man at The Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank and Cadogan Hall received wide acclaim, with London Jazz News calling Rachel a “stand out performer… a revelation”.
Rachel’s highly anticipated album, Realms, is scheduled for release in March 2026.
