ABOUT

Rachel Panni is a songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist.

​

Musically wandering but never lost, Rachel Panni guides listeners through auditory landscapes, playfully challenging the box of a one-genre artist - lyrically honest and authentically produced.

 

Raised in Pennsylvania, Rachel received her degree in Music Education from Temple University in Philadelphia, where she taught in the public schools and began her career in the music industry. In 2011, she trekked across the country to Oakland, California to start from scratch personally and musically, away from the comforts of home. With new ground under her feet, she began to explore the world of studio production under the moniker "Are Too", composing and producing her debut album, Life Injected. Life Injected presented both as a demonstration of her growth as a producer and musician, and a lyrical reflection on her personal history.

 

Forging her path as a music educator, Rachel has collaborated with both an array of seasoned artists and blossoming young musicians. Composing with a modern, community-oriented mindset, her works are performed by vocal and instrumental ensembles, and utilized in general music classroom curriculums across the country.

 

Currently residing in Portland, Oregon, Rachel Panni continues to write and record new work, while teaching music in the public schools. Her unique perspective as an urban educator and musician lends itself to her confidence in the transformational opportunities music offers.
