Rising star Raquel Aurilia traces her passion for music to talents such as Billy Joel, Elton John, Adele, Heart and Stevie Nicks. Her stunning vocal talent is highlighted by a deeper, more personal level of songs that speak of soul searching and passion.

As a singer/songwriter, her debut album "Finding My Way" (released with national distribution through Fontana/Universal) featured the hit single "Feels Like" which cracked the ultra-competitive R&R Top 30 AC and Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary charts at #28 and is still receiving national air play today.

Raquel's 2nd album, "Holding on to Love" was produced and co-written by veteran Producer Gardner Cole (Madonna, Jody Whatley, Amy Grant). "Holding on to Love" was recently licensed for MTV's hit shows The Hills, The City and Taking the Stage. Raquel is currently working on her 3rd album and just wrote and recorded 5 new songs in Nashville, Tennessee.

Past performance highlights include opening for B.B. King - 80th Birthday tour (Phoenix, Arizona stop), performing God Bless America at AT& T Park (San Francisco, CA), and The "Strike Out For Troops" with Eddie Money. Raquel has also headlined several charity events including The Hearts and Helmets, Superbowl Jam, Green Charity MLB All-Star Event, and performed at several other charity events and concerts nationwide.
