Rachel Chinouriri (born November 1, 1998) is an English singer-songwriter. After posting numerous songs on SoundCloud, she began releasing music on major streaming platforms in 2018. She released her debut EP "Mama's Boy" in 2019 to critical acclaim. One of the songs from the EP, "So My Darling", received attention on TikTok when it became a popular audio to use. Chinouriri was signed to Parlophone, with whom she released the EP "Four° In Winter" in 2021. She then released a third EP "Better Off Without" in 2022. Chinouriri was born in Kingston Hospital, Surrey on 1 November 1998. Her family later moved to Croydon, where she was raised from age 3. Her family had moved to UK from Zimbabwe shortly prior to her birth, and she experienced a "traditional African upbringing". Her upbringing led her to be curious about British culture, specifically its music, and as a teenager, she became influenced by the discographies of Daughter and Lily Allen. At age 17, she began writing songs and recorded them on a £20 microphone, uploading them to the music sharing website SoundCloud via her mother's laptop. Chinouriri began formally releasing various singles on major streaming platforms in 2018 which led to her being signed to Parlophone.[6] Her first release with the label was "So My Darling", which she wrote aged 17 and released in 2018. The song received radio play when it was picked as a special play on BBC Radio 1.[5] She was then announced as an act at Field Day festival in 2019.[7]
