Rakel Salazar is a singer, songwriter, producer and dancer that flavours your life with tasty Nu Soul.

With a multicultural background (afro-american, catalan, spanish) was born and raised in Barcelona (Spain), currently she lives in Köln (Germany).

Her creative training began as a dancer, which soon developed into a professional career (Olympic Games Opening '92, Tv Shows, music videos and commercials). 

It was through the dance world that she began her career as a singer. She studied "Jazz and Pop music" and performed as a soloist and backing vocalist in various projects around Europe.

​

Her latest album "Rakelicious" combines elements from Soul, Funk, Pop, Jazz and Hip Hop. Her songs also tend to have exciting and surprising changes: while a song might start as a bluesy ballad, it ends with a heroic guitar solo with a jazzy touch. Another song might seem to be a groovy and funky tune, while ending with a Hip Hop beat and a Rap.

Each song expresses a different emotion and therefore has a distinctive flavour, which altogether creates a menu: the “Rakelicious” album.

​

Rakel also releases her instrumental series "RKL BEATS" where she shows her creativity through sounds, textures, beats, melodies... where you can be transported to different seasons (winter, summer)
