  • Bio

    Rising star Raquel Aurilia traces her passion for music to talents such as Billy Joel, Elton John, Adele, Heart and Stevie Nicks. Her stunning vocal talent is highlighted by a deeper, more personal level of songs that speak of soul searching and passion. As a singer/songwriter, her debut album "Finding My Way" (released with national distribution through Fontana/Universal) featured the hit single "Feels Like" which cracked the ultra-competitive R&R Top 30 AC and Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary charts at #28 and is still receiving national air play today. Raquel's 2nd album, "Holding on to Love" was produced and co-written by veteran Producer Gardner Cole (Madonna, Jody Whatley, Amy Grant). "Holding on to Love" was recently licensed for MTV's hit shows The Hills, The City and Taking the Stage. Raquel is currently working on her 3rd album and just wrote and recorded 5 new songs in Nashville, Tennessee. Past performance highlights include opening for B.B. King - 80th Birthday tour (Phoenix, Arizona stop), performing God Bless America at AT& T Park (San Francisco, CA), and The "Strike Out For Troops" with Eddie Money. Raquel has also headlined several charity events including The Hearts and Helmets, Superbowl Jam, Green Charity MLB All-Star Event, and performed at several other charity events and concerts nationwide.

    My Journey- long story short :) I started Shea Records because I wanted to get my music off the ground and needed a way to do so. It has been A LOT of work running the label and being an artist, but I'm a firm believer in making things happen instead of waiting for them to happen. The music industry is extremely challenging and ultra competitive and I have learned so much since I started this whole journey in 2006. My first cd, "Finding My Way" was my first taste of promoting a single etc. We promoted, "Feels Like" on the R & R charts/Billboard charts and reached 28! To me this was an amazing feat since I was competing against major records labels and amazing artists! "Feels Like" is still playing nationwide on Satelite radio! I performed wherever I could promoting my first cd and was fortunate enough to open for B.B. King at he Dodge Theatre in AZ. What an amazing man he is, and what an honor for me!! I wrote my second CD "Holding on to Love" with Gardner Cole and Billy Trudel and discovered a whole new world of writing! The songs are personal and really come from my heart. The only cover on the Cd is called, "Love is on the Way" was originally performed by Saigon Kick (for all you Rock fans :). It is a great song and I tried to keep it as close to the original as possible but give it my own feel too. So, what now?? I wish I knew the answer. I am planning on getting a tour together for 2009 and will continue to work hard, write music and sing when and wherever I can so I can share my music with everyone. I have a great group of people I am surrounded by that are helping me with my music so we will see where this path leads me...to be continued... .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .................... .. .. .. .. ...... ..Dimple Record Stores..

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT GRATITUDE ...

    "I would maintain that THANKS are the HIGHEST FORM

    of THOUGHT, and that GRATITUDE is HAPPINESS

    DOUBLED BY WONDER."

    "If a fellow ISN'T THANKFUL for WHAT HE'S GOT,

    he isn't likely to be THANKFUL for what he's

    GOING TO GET."

    ~ Frank Clark

    WE ALL HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    the hunch is a noon-dazed breeze
    the fault line in guardian have no sneeze
    but as the turn glows
    they grab for their nose
    and soldiers come out of the trees
