A homegrown neo soul artist.
Raquel Rodriguez is a versatile artist from Los Angeles known for her soulful sound, authenticity, and ability to transcend musical boundaries. Raised in Santa Monica, she quickly earned recognition for her talent, but her artistry extends far beyond singing. As a singer, producer, songwriter, and performer, Raquel creates music that resonates personally while challenging stereotypes, an honest reflection of who she is—soulful vocals, live instrumentation, and modern production that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Throughout her career, Raquel has stayed true to her vision and sound, determined to carve out a space that feels uniquely her own. Her breakout album, The 310, featuring the single "Mile High," established her as a rising force in R&B, while her 2021 follow-up Sweet Side has garnered over 30 million streams worldwide. Now, Raquel is set to release Housewife, her most personal project yet. This album challenges stereotypes of womanhood and parallels the overlooked labor of housewives and independent artists. With contributions from longtime collaborators like SammyB, Amber Navran, Jess Best, and Nigel Hall, Housewife showcases Raquel’s signature blend of live instrumentation and modern production. As an independent artist, Raquel defines success on her own terms, balancing creativity, joy, and individuality while nurturing her community and proves that true fulfillment comes from forging your own path.
