Balancing Sad Songs and Upbeat Social Media with Rachel Chinouriri - Noisy Women The Podcast
noisy and outspokenShow Notes
Rachel and I met at The Great Escape Festival, Brighton, in May 2019. I was shooting for Femme Magazine, a Brighton based publication, where I was assigned to shoot some portraits of Rachel for a feature. We were greeted by the warmest, most kind natured girl, who was a joy to take imagery of. Rachel and I stayed in contact after the shoot, funnily enough we went to school in the same small town and have a few friends in common.
This episode was an absolute delight to record, I had so much fun chatting with Rachel about her work as an artist and how she feels working in the industry. We talk about how she got to where she is today, meeting her management, signing her publishing deal and also how she portrays herself online. In this episode we also delve into Rachel’s brain about her creative style and how she began her career as a musician.
