Overview

She's rapidly acquiring popularity amongst audiences in various parts of the world.

About the Album

Without formal voice lessons or a musical education, Raquel J. has written, recorded and produced a solo album, titled "My Body". While, most of the tracks deal with the ups and downs of love, her lyrics have a way of captivating and grabbing the emotions of her listeners. Some songs are soft and sweet, while, others are brutal and cold. Let's just say that she bluntly and precisely communicates some of the most profound emotions felt in intimate relationships of today.

All of the tracks on the album were created with the well-known music-writing software program called "FL Studio". In December of 2003, the track "My Body" received so many great reviews, that it was remixed by music industry engineer, Blake Reary, using the FL Studio program. The remix was then released as the demo "theme" song for FL Studio version 4.5.2 software.

Accomplishments

Raquel J. is no novice to performing. She sang in several school talent shows, weddings and, sadly, funerals. She sang many solo performances in all of her school chorus productions and was selected by her high school band director to sing at the final band performance of the year (which merited a standing ovation). She was given the distinct honor of singing the national anthem a cappella at High School athletic events. She was, also, invited to perform for the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the Army at the Pentagon in Washington D.C., which, she accomplished, flawlessly, and for which she received a letter of gratitude.

When it comes to performing, she puts on an amazing show. Raquel shares: "When I sing, I can't help but become very emotional. It is the only way I know how to express myself". Her emotions definitely show, as many of her performances have brought people to tears.

In addition to writing the original song "My Body", of which, the remix, was released as the demo song on Fl Studio, Raquel J has, also, recorded over 250 vocal samples, which are, now, available on the Vocal Sample Cd from SampleFusion. This CD comes with the boxed version of FL Studio version 5.0. and is also available on www.samplefusion.com.
