Rachel Little - Falling In Love With Her Music
If you were around when Rachel Little started taking voice lessons at age six, you might have thought ‘this kid’s got potential.’ Nowadays, when 17-year old Rachel picks up the mike, you understand why people are starting to take notice.
Born into a middle class family on the outskirts of Atlanta, Rachel knew right away where she wanted to be - ON STAGE. Rachel had all the same dreams that every kid has: success, fame and stardom. But what sets Rachel apart is her desire to do whatever it takes to make that dream come true.
From singing on stage in Las Vegas accompanied by a full show band to performing before American Idol contestants Jennifer Hudson, Jessica Sierra and Nikko Smith to entertaining attendees for the largest Cancer Volunteer Support Group (Relay for Life) which is based in Gwinnett County, Georgia and much more; Rachel has begun to establish herself as a world-class vocalist!
But it doesn’t end there.
Because of her interest in helping other kids, Rachel has utilized her considerable talents to record songs that encourage her fans to see the strength within themselves and not allow outside influences to dampen their dreams. Songs like “Look In The Mirror” focus on teen bullying; “It Happens (Sometimes)” suggests the possibility of young love conquering all obstacles and lasting “always and forever”, “Fall In Love With Me” centers on understanding how to love yourself before loving someone else and “Better Let It Go” deals with knowing when to end a tempestuous relationship.
Rachel has teamed with veteran songwriter/producers Grammy nominated Jayne Olderman and J. Donte Harris to create AND co-write her upcoming CD on Racaday Records entitled "Look in the Mirror". Release date is scheduled for early June '07. This body of work is a true expression of how passionate Rachel is about becoming a viable force within the music industry.
There’s a reason the sun shines so bright in this part of America! – and part of that reason is Rachel Little!!!

Corey Smith breaks the recording mold

The mold has been cracked — not that Corey Smith ever wanted his music career cast.
Smith, an alt-country singer/songwriter from Georgia with a hard-drinking past, is one of a handful of popular independent performers who can truly claim independence.
Smith doesn’t have a record deal, yet he helms one of the Southeast’s most in-demand tour schedules. And he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“The model the major labels have been using for so long is broken,” Smith said. “They can’t cope with the Internet.”
Smith said he has been offered deals, but he spurned interest because “I like being my own boss.”
“The way technology is,” he said, “we’re able to do what most major labels can do.”
Except get on radio or TV and secure major distribution deals.
But, unlike major labels, Smith is Internet savvy.
“The CD is overpriced,” he said. “We encourage people to burn CDs” and share his music.
As a result, Smith’s popularity, frankly, is staggering.
He has more than 48,000 MySpace friends and more than 2.5 million song plays on his page. He also has had more than 70,000 iTunes downloads.
Still, Smith, who has sold out the famed Georgia Theatre in Athens, gets a lot of this: Who is Corey Smith?
“I can walk around, and no one knows who I am,” said Smith, who left a teaching job to be a full-time musician.
He’s the guy singing about partying and swigging from a beer bottle between songs. He’s also the guy who was the highest paid performer at this year’s St. Pat’s in Five Points.
The unsigned Smith earned $15,500. That was $500 more than 3 Days Grace, the festival’s ostensible headliner.
Charles Wilkie of All-In Entertainment, which booked the festival, said Smith “is one of the hottest performers in the Southeast.”
“His ticket sales aren’t lying about that,” Wilkie said.
Smith relies on little else but his songwriting. Fans ranging from high school students to adults with kids in high school could be seen nodding to his wordy (in a good way) country-soul at St. Pat’s.
Not even a major label budget can get fans to feel songs.
“What it boils down to is the songs,” Smith said. “People want to be moved, and they want to connect.
“I try to write sincere, honest songs.”
And like other true independents such as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Smith seems to be widening his connection. A fan at his last Headliners show called him the next John Mayer.
How does Smith feel about being compared to a big leaguer?
“(Mayer’s) new album, ‘Continuum,’ is probably my favorite,” Smith said. “On the other hand, I don’t want to be the next John Mayer.
“I just want to be myself.”
And there’s no mold needed for that.
