Raised in church, Raquel emerged on stage in 2013 as a Worship Leader at a prominent church in St. Louis, MO, leading thousands on a weekly basis. Over the past year her love for music and other genres has continued growing. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of artists, she has developed her own sound and style of POP music.
Raquel began writing music in early spring 2020 after marrying the love of her life, Nick Gruver. As a singer and songwriter, she’s been working hard at writing lyrics that express stories from her life, but lyrics that will also relate to her fans across all cultures and demographics. Her lyrics are deep, meaningful, uplifting, and provide a great atmosphere when listening to them. Add together her soulful lyrics and stylish melody and the party has begun!
Raquel started working with producer Brandon Fraley out of Nashville, TN. back in spring of 2020. He and his wife Jamelle are a duo country group named “Two Story Road”, and have each traveled with the likes of Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Danny Gokey, and Gretchen Wilson. After traveling with others, they took a leap and went on their own music journey as a duo, and have worked with the likes of Hunter Hayes, Mark Bright, and many other respected figures within the music industry.
Working with Brandon for a good part of 2020 now, the EP is coming to life and the songs and creativity are flowing. Raquel plans to release her first EP in September of 2020 with a new song coming every couple of months. The EP will consist of six songs, all written by Raquel. She wanted her first EP to be completely original and her sound, with tracks that everyone can relate too. You can bet that these songs will be ones you want to listen to with the windows down, volume up, and the sun shining!
