Bio
Born in one of the southern most counties of Alabama, Rachael Mann was fortunate enough to grow up in a state where many muscial legends began their career. In fact, Rachael comes from a long line of talented people. Her great-great uncle, Carl Boberg, wrote the lyrics to the Gospel Hymn "How Great Thou Art." She is also related to actress Greta Garbo. "No one is my family sings, but most of my family members read music," states Rachael. "I remember every Christmas visiting my grandparents in Gulf Shores, Alabama. We would all sing Christmas hymns and each family member played an instrument. We played pianos, violins, mandolins, guitars, recorders, flutes and tambourines." From a very young age, Rachael aspired to sing and act. In fact, she began singing at the age of 7 and began acting at the age of 8 in small church productions. "I was very nervous when I started singing. Now, I crave to be on the stage. I am a huge fan of music, but I am mostly inspired by r&b, hip-hop, gosepl and jazz."
