Rachel Mae Perry is an Orange County, CA-based singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. Perry’s career started in earnest when she was signed to the WME Agency, alongside the likes of Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber when she had turned 15. As a teen, she shared stages with The Beach Boys, The Eagles, Jan and Dean, John Stamos, Dick Dale, Jim Belushi, The Bangles, Berlin, and a long list of others.
The Orange County, CA-based artist is the creative mastermind behind the emerging indie, solo recording project Aquafox. Perry’s Aquafox debut single “Party Girl,” was written during a hospital stay and delves into her tumultuous years of drug and alcohol abuse with an unvarnished, raw honesty and captivating harmonies while offering a glimpse into her journey of self-discovery, sobriety and healing.
The latest Aquafox single, the Jon O’Brien and Perry co-produced “Hurt You” continues a run of remarkably crafted material. Built around a lush, arrangement of jangling acoustic guitar, bursts of twinkling glockenspiel, fuzzy power chord-driven hooks and choruses paired with a driving groove, the 90s Riot Grrrl-inspired track is a cathartic and relatable anthem focused on the desire for revenge after a bitter betrayal and breakup. If you’ve been scorned, fucked over or done wrong by someone you’ve cared about — or loved — the sentiment at the song’s core, is both lived-in and deeply familiar.
