Built by composers for composers, award-winning DAACI is the next step in the evolution of music creation. Rachel’s comprehensive AI system can compose, arrange, orchestrate and produce authentic, high-quality and original music with emotional and narrative awareness, all under the direction of composers and artists themselves.

Over the last 17 years, Rachel has risen through the music industry to record in the world’s top studios, including Abbey Road Studios, and perform on its brightest stages, such as The Royal Albert Hall. And through it all, Rachel has come to passionately believe that empowering human creativity and expression should be at the forefront of all AI.
