Raquel Martins: Women Make Music
23-year-old singer/songwriter and guitarist, Raquel Martins moved to London when she was only 17. Raised under the sun in Portugal, she grew up listening to endless classics from Brazilian and jazz repertoire, but her music, production and unique voice refuse to be boxed.Her music is a signature blend of latin-tinged songwriting & production, reflecting on topics such as the meaning of home, escapism, existentialism, and what it is to be a woman in our society. She’s performed at festivals across the UK And Portugal, and supported the likes of Oscar Jerome, Marcos Valle and Bala Desejo.
Raquel Martins’ Debut Album Recording
Raquel will use the support of PRS Foundation’s Women Make Music Fund to go into the studio and record her debut album! After working away at writing the songs over the course of 2023, the support comes at the perfect time and makes it possible to track in the studio she wants to use, and with a team of musicians, friends and creatives who will help bring the music to life. She’s excited to collaborate with musicians from the UK and Portugal, and build on the sound she’s been creating over the course of her first two EPs.
