American Songwriter Magazine called RAQUEL COLE “A dynamite vocalist, songwriter and guitar slinger to boot!” Her skill as a musician is one of the first things the audience notices about this B.C. native. Singing has been her first love for as long as she can remember, acquiring her first guitar at the age of nine and writing songs soon after. Her first single, “Think About You” hit the airwaves in 2021, landing in the Top 40 with the video making her a Top 3 finalist in SiriusXM's Top of the Country Competition. Cole has toured extensively the past few years, opening for artists Carrie Underwood, Jonny Lang, Brothers Osborne, Scotty McCreery and Josh Turner.

Cole’s fiery and soulful music has garnered significant recognition. in 2017 she was named by The CBC and Radio Canada as “25 under 25 musicians everyone needs to know,” alongside Alessia Cara and Shawn Mendes. She earned the CCMA Discovery Award (2015) and numerous accolades from American Songwriting Magazine. Additionally, her songwriting earned Cole her first Billboard Top 10 Country Album charting for a song recorded by superstar, Marie Osmond.
