Rachel (Ross) Cambrin is a singer-songwriter, and DIY engineer/producer from Vancouver, B C Canada . 

Having been in bands for many years, playing ska, reggae, blues, and rock, their reinvention as a solo artist took some time but turned out to be the right move. Open mics and being hired as a house musician at a Vancouver club helped, but it was busking at the Granville Island Market in Vancouver that had the biggest impact on their development. Content just to work on writing and set list, Rachel busked for three years whenever they could until COVID changed everything. The Busker Program was shut down and it was during this time that Rachel started recording and releasing songs via Spotify, Apple Music, etc. 

The first song they released was an original song called Sad Eyed Stars in early 2020, with a slew of singles to follow. An original called Sisters of the Dark caught the attention of a few local indie radio stations and two interviews followed along with being a featured artist on a Vancouver Street Musician blog. In early 2021, six songs were picked from the singles, and were released as an EP called Cover to Cover. One of the songs finally got some attention from the FB ads and it became apparent that multiple song releases were the way to go. It was in the spring of 2021 that Rachel contacted some Vancouver musicians to work on a full album worth of songs. 

The process was slow at first as busking reopened, but with the help of drummers Pat Steward ans Matthew Atkins ,bassist Rob Becker, and  guitarist Cory Hawthorne, a recording band was established. Rachel was also finally gelling with the audiences at Granville Island which made it possible to finance the project and Sad Eyed Stars was released and distributed online in 2022.

The Sad Eyed Stars CD was released in 2023 and sold at performances and it became apparent that entering albums in music award events helped get access to the ears of music industry people and the unplugged Perspectives album was released in 2024 and entered in the Canadian Folk Music Awards.

Questions by audience members regarding where they could see Rachel other than busking performances have lead Rachel to search out venues that they may play at and after being well received at Lana Lou's, the Fox Cabaret, and Royal Arch Masonic Home, that goal is coming into focus.
