Press

"It's artists like Rachel that caused me to even create the Indie Music Channel and "The Radio Cafe" -she's an INCREDIBLE artist who is so talented and so deserving of every wonderful opportunity there is to be had in the music world. Rachel, sincerely, has everything it takes to be a true star in this business."

— Christopher Ewing, CEO of Indie Music Channel, The Radio Cafe

“If 'Natural' by RachelKays demonstrated her potential, then her two latest standalone singles are sure signs of progress. Great stuff!”

— Angus Marriott, Milk Shake Music

"The majority of her songs are more in the singer/songwriter vein, which comes across as her forte, though some of the other tunes are a bit more experimental. “Girls Like You” is more of an R&B tune, and an excellent one at that, while “Left Me Hanging” has a bit of a electronic sound in the background, and both of those songs show there’s more to her music than meets the eye."

— The Music Enthusiast

“Refreshingly upbeat, her debut effort Natural combines contemporary country-pop sounds with a youthful innocence, and as such the album is a great cure for the blues.”

— Angus Marriott, Austin Music City

“Don't be fooled by her age ... Rachel Kays' knack for melody and wordplay reveals a musical sensibility far beyond her years.”

— Brian Douglas Phillips, (Producer of Rachel's debut album, Natural)

“I can't seem to get Rachel off my mind. I've not heard anyone lately that compares to her.”

— Mari Maduro, Affinity Music Inc., Nashville

“Kays is as enchanting as her music, and we can all be certain of a long and interesting career for this Texan gem.”

— Angus Marriott, Soundcheck

“Many adults aren't sure what to do with the rest of their life, but 11-year-old Rachel Kays began talking about becoming a singer when she was about 3. Already having sung the national anthem at the Frank Erwin Center for a crowd of about 14,000 - at the opening of an Austin Wranglers game - Rachel is well on her way to accomplishing those dreams.”

— Tiffany Young, Round Rock Leader

“It’s hard not to like her songs – upbeat country and pop melodies delivered by her powerful and charming voice.”

— Angus Marriott, Soundcheck

“ Introducing RACHEL KAYS , a talented young singer/songwriter from Austin, Texas. Rachel sings country/pop and R and B. She released her debut EP Sweet 16 on her 16th birthday. Take a listen to an awesome tune from that EP called LEFT ME HANGING ! ”

— New Track Tuesday, Tween Pop Radio

“Natural is a lovely and enchanting album. On this evidence Kays seems destined to long outlive the fleeting whimsy of chart music. Watch this space.”

— Angus Marriott, Soundcheck

“The first time I heard her sing on her own, I was just blown away. I couldn't believe a voice like that could come out of such a young child. (quote by Darlene Henson, Rachel's elementary school music teacher as quoted in the referenced front-page article, titled "Young singer's debut a swinging success"”

— Lisa Taylor-Braden, Round Rock Leader
