Episode notes

Australian singer/songwriter Rachel Koster believes that creativity can be a force for good in the world. With a love for her craft she shares her years of writing experience in the industry and how she feels the full circle of hearing a song on the radio to sitting in the room with those same artists and writing. 

She explains her incredible journey and experiences. Her songwriting collaborations have involved musicians including long term co-writer Stuart Fraser, as well as Gary Pinto, Stephen Cummings, Sean O’Boyle, Michael Barker, Chris Haigh, Bruce Haymes, Luke Austen, Limmel, Nashville’s Karin Papperelli, Australian Idol finaists, and others. Songwriting is Rachel’s joy and she is passionate about writing for other acts in all genres from country to pop to EDM.

Much of her commissioned work involves writing for artists, projects, musicals, children’s music, theme songs & awareness campaigns. Rachel is also a solo pop & acoustic artist, and releases alongside her debut album Deciduous are Breathe, December, Carnival (with Blake Gannon) and Table. New singles wait in readiness for 2023 including the track Dundas Street, and collaborations with Rick Price. Rachel has run Songwalk songwriting workshops since 2020 in Australia with fellow writers Boi Crompton & Eskae Van Eck.
