Rachel Dara, ISSA Gold Winner, talks about `commercializing love’ in her next song launch on April 26th, 2024.

Born and bred in Montreal, Canada, Rachel Dara first picked up a guitar and started to write her own songs at the age of nine. At this point in her childhood it was Alvin and the Chipmunks, Katy Perry, Jackie Evancho and Chris DeBurgh who had all inspired her to start dabbling in the art of songwriting. Years later, after watching over a dozen of her livestreams, Tim Steinruck, a hard rock titan of the band ‘The Mighty One’, reached out and eventually was instrumental in connecting Rachel Dara to industry peers.

Dara set to writing her eight-song debut record “The Next Big Invention” out of her bedroom with the lights dimmed and filled with moments of solemnity and inspiration thinking about the day she would also turn `Eighteen` and live a life like adults do. With her songs now composed,the day came where she and her father, Jason Stadtlander, who acts as her Manager, sent the tracks out West where Steinruck then made a few calls sending the Dara Team out East to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia to have her live-style album produced by Grammy-award winning legendary record producer & engineer, Mark Howard.

Mark chose to work with such a young artist because of her insight into life itself which reminded him of another famed folk artist he worked with…

Her writing and style is far more mature than her age, she has a feel and sound like Joni Mitchell.

“The Next Big Invention” is a folk album featuring themes of coming of age, grief, love, wealth and personal growth.

Rachel Dara crosses boundaries all the time through her witty and meaningful lyricism, but one thing that differentiates her from the rest, is her ability to transform a story into a song in her indie-folk-rock genre.

After releasing the rest of her debut album “The Next Big Invention”, Rachel Dara plans on recording a 3-song EP with Juno award-winning producer/guitarist Josh Goldman at his studio “Classic Avenue” in Toronto.

Rachel Dara’s inspiration for `Rich Love`, the 6th release of her 8 song album, came from the commercialization of love, and from couples buying each other’s affection. She wishes it will help others see the good in having an imperfect life, and for this song to be an explanation of the phrase ‘money can’t buy happiness’ (nor love).

Her music career has given her the opportunity to grow and develop as both an artist and person, through learning and mastering her craft. Being a young artist, writing and performing has increased her confidence and helped her adopt a growth mindset.

Dara would like to build a loyal fanbase through the music that she will continue to release, in the hope that she can eventually tour. She would also like her music to connect with individuals worldwide, and for others to simply enjoy it.

Her various musical experiences have also shaped her as a person, and she is proud of the accomplishments she has worked to achieve.

“Rich Love” can now be found on all platforms.
