(Short Form BIO) RAQUELA is an American Billboard recording artist known for her LIVE "Real Singer" performances. Before that she was an award winning singer/actress performing leading roles on Broadway. Her powerhouse vocals got her to open for Diva's like, Deborah Cox, Lady Gaga, Kristine W, Belinda Carlisle, and many more. Raquela's cover release of Taylor Daynes, TELL IT TO MY HEART ruled the "Top 40" charts on DJ Times for 28 weeks straight! RAQUELA worked with DJ/Producer legends like, Chris 'The Greek', Raphie Rosario and Tony Moran, but her finest collaboration was with one of the Godfather’s of House music, MICKEY Mixin' OLIVER. Together, “NOTHIN' MORE TO GIVE” topped Billboard’s "Hot Dance Club" charts for several weeks! Her tracks were spun regularly in New York clubs like Cielo and Sullivan, as well as hyped clandestine parties like, Verboten and Trilogy. Since 2000, her discography was heard all over the country on stations like KTU, Party 105.3, KNGY, Pulse Radio, KSFM and Sirius XM's - BPM. Aside from deeply rooting herself in the New York scene, she has toured all over the United States, performing for dance music lovers everywhere.

Since her first EP release in 2004 on SuperGroove Records, Raquela has also been released on other labels like, Sony Music, Hot Mix 5, CAPP Records and ISV Entertainment.
