Judging Panel
FEATURED PERFORMER
Rachel Gonzalez
We are excited to have esteemed singer, songwriter/arranger, and educator Rachel Gonzalez as our LAAF 2024 Featured Performer!
LA native Singer-Songwriter Rachel Gonzalez is a blend of soul driven melodies & intentionally honest storytelling. Her voice carries her message of healing straight to your heart, and is something you can’t quite ignore. Growing up singing in church and high school choir sparked her love for music, and her time at Berklee College of Music inspired her to develop her voice and sound as an artist. Also being a Pitch Slapped a cappella alum, she had the opportunity to open up for Pentatonix & was featured in the movie Daddy’s Home 2.
All-Access Pass holders get admission to a full day of workshops & classes on a range of topics, taught by industry experts from around the world, on Saturday, February 17.
