Video: Bianca Raquel ‘Lost Myself’ Teaser

Singer, songwriter, producer, performer and musician, Bianca Raquel will be releasing her first single, “Lost Myself” written and produced by Bianca herself in the coming weeks and is currently preparing for one of the biggest musical presentations of her early career.  As the daughter of world-renowned musical director/arranger Ray Chew, it’s clear that the gift of music was passed down a generation. The one constant variable in Bianca’s life has always been music.

From a very young age, Bianca began writing songs, “One day my dad heard me singing and he was like ‘who’s song is that?’ When I told him I made it up in my head he was like ‘you should start writing them down.'” It wasn’t long until Bianca had tons of notebooks filled up with her songs. Bianca’s gift was special because when writing songs, she automatically heard background and instrument arrangements along with the lyrics and melody. She recorded and produced her first song at the age of 9. “My dad took me into his studio and said ‘I want you to tell me how to play all the music you hear in your head and sing all the voices you hear.'”  At the age of 13, she was the youngest student to attend the Grammy Foundation’s First Annual Grammy Camp.

Now a student at Berklee College of Music, Bianca feels humbled and blessed by the opportunity.  “At Berklee, I have been awarded the tremendous gift of musical discipline and theory which was the missing piece to my puzzle.” “One thing I pride myself on is having the ability to never be boxed in or labeled as simply one thing or another. As an artist, I don’t have to choose a genre but simply juice every drop of creativity I possess and give the world something new.”
