Every Monday we will be bringing you interviews with unsigned UK or Ireland artists for Independent Music Monday. Recently we caught up with unsigned Dublin singer Rachel Greene to find out more…
Where are you from and how did you first get into music?
I’m from Dublin and always grew up listening to music. My Dad got a guitar for his birthday one year and took up lessons and I decided to join him. I’ve been playing ever since I was nine years old!
Who were your musical influences when you were growing up and who are your influences now?
I have always found Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran’s music inspirational growing up. I’ve just completed my bachelor of Music in Maynooth University so I have been fortunate enough to study different musical genres such as classical music, Irish traditional music and jazz and gain inspiration and knowledge from them all.
How would you describe your sound?
Pop, indie, acoustic, singer/songwriter.
What is your latest release called and what was the influence behind it?
My debut single ‘Without You’ was written by Gillian Tuite and Keith McLoughlin and is about losing a loved one.
What’s your local music scene like?
My local music scene is good especially in Dublin city before the pandemic. I’ve met so many lovely people through gigging in the city!
What do you have planned for the next 12 months?
I am planning on recording and releasing some songs that I have written myself and of course get back to gigging!
Is there anyone you’d love to collaborate with?
There are so many! If I was to aim big I would love to work with the likes of Gabrielle Aplin or Bon Iver.
What is the one thing that you want readers to know about you?
That I have been hesitant to put my own music out into the world for the longest time but I am now finally ready and really excited about it.
You can find out more about Rachel via Facebook, Instagram, SoundCloud, Spotify or YouTube.
