Hi, I’m Rachel Mackie, a dedicated musician and songwriter based in Wirral, United Kingdom. I have a first class degree in music with emphasis on songwriting and performance from the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. I’ve created a portfolio of original songs across three years, complete with supporting documentation, and I’ve also managed my own artist project with providing a forty minute set performance that I wrote, choreographed and promoted via social media myself. I have explored copyright, fan engagement, and lyrical meaning within the music industry, and I’ve researched the challenges faced by female pop musicians in Liverpool. My other experiences includes live event planning, music management and social media engagement . I enjoy building strong communication and organisational skills, and I’m actively networking around the North West to meet more people to work with whilst developing my songwriting, production skills and social media understanding.

Work Experience

Dance Teacher at Anamal Dance Company
January 1, 2019 - January 1, 2020
I developed strong communication skills by working closely with students, parents, and teachers, which now supports collaboration and co-writing. I supported the planning and delivery of classes and adapted content for different age groups and learning needs, strengthening my ability to tailor creative work, including songs, to specific audiences. I frequently led sessions in depth when covering, which enhanced organization, time management, and adaptability. Additionally, coordinating with staff during rehearsals and school performances gave me early insight into musical environments, teamwork, and problem-solving within creative settings.
