Rachel Burns

Pop/Soul Singer-Songwriter, Rachel Burns, is a multi-talented Washington DC-based artist who is inspired by iconic singers and entertainers such as Amy Winehouse, Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, Tina Turner, and the like. Writing songs that combine life’s humor and heartbreak, Burns infuses the influences of blues, country, and jazz with a theatrical twist in her music.
​Burns grew up in a musical family and obtained a degree in Classical Vocal Performance from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. For over 20 years, Burns performed and arranged jazz, blues pop, and country tunes with bands in Boston and DC. The singer was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer in 2013. Using her cancer diagnosis as the fuel to pursue her passion as a musician, Burns honed her sound and crafted songs that stretch across the spectrum from quirky to uplifting to ultimately funny.

Burns also inspired women as a humorous Wonder Woman protesting in DC during Trump’s administration. The intriguing and powerful getup landed her in several major publications including the New York Times and The Washington Post. It was during this time Burns wrote, “Tiny Hands,” a satirical take on Trump’s infamous reputation and amassed over 87K organic views.
