Rachel Kelly Crow After being eliminated from
The X Factor, Crow met with Disney for possible roles in future Disney productions. Her debut EP,
Rachel Crow, debuted on iTunes charts on number 71. She voiced Carla in her first film role,
Rio 2, and she sang some lines in the film from the song 'Batucada Familia' (2014).
Crow sang her first song (Faith Hill's "Breathe") at 18 months-old and first performed in public at age six as part of her school's talent show. Her parents brought her to Los Angeles in 2010 to support her dream of being a performer and she auditioned at age 13 for The X Factor in early 2011. After being chosen as a contestant out of over 150,000 people who auditioned for season 1 of The X Factor (USA), she wowed audiences with her powerful voice and bubbly personality and placed fifth in the competition for the season. A fan favorite and darling among the judges, L.A. Reid deemed her a "funky, feisty singer with soul" with Simon Cowell declaring that audiences would be "hearing a lot more about her."
