Rachel Koller was born into a musical family, with both parents being music teachers. She started learning piano as soon as her fingers were big enough to fit on the keys, and went on to complete her Grade 9 at the Royal Conservatory of Music. From singing in the church choir to playing oboe in a youth orchestra, the classical music influences were strong. However, as she grew up in the late 70’s and 80’s, Rock n Roll and R&B music became her passion. She has played in various Rock and Motown bands for the past 30 years as a part-time performer, and is now excited about focusing on playing full time, professionally, as a member of CrescenDuo.
