What does being one of Rachel’s patrons look like?

Alongside discovering her most recent hair colour (it changes a lot!), Rachel’s patrons will learn about her wide-ranging musical style (from country to pop, jazz and classical), her synaesthesia and her mental health advocacy. They will be taken inside her songwriting sessions with other artists, and follow her journey researching and workshopping two new musicals, receiving music exclusives along the way.

Supporting a composer on Music Patron gives you a first-hand perspective on the many elements within the creative process and an understanding of the authentic journey of a composer. You can learn more about what it’s like to be a patron here.
