To immediately listen to this month's Top Five vocalists, please Click Here Rachelle Dobin Named June “Best Vocalist Of The Month” With Her Song “My Reflection”By Dale Kawashima Rachelle Dobin, an exceptional, young rock singer & songwriter based in Los Angeles, CA, has won the June SingerUniverse “Best Vocalist Of The Month” Competition, for her performance of her song “My Reflection” (co-written by Toby Gad). This recording marks an auspicious debut for Dobin, who is only 16-years-old. In addition, Dobin is currently collaborating with other writer/producers, and she is recording songs to eventually shop for a label deal.
“My Reflection” is a dramatic, modern rock cut which showcases Dobin’s powerful vocals. She displays the legitimate vocal strength of a Kelly Clarkson or Amy Lee, particularly in the song’s soaring chorus. Dobin also demonstrates her potential as a songwriter - she wrote this song with Toby Gad, a New York-based writer/producer who has worked with such artists as the Veronicas, Ricky Martin, Kaci Brown and Jaci Velasquez. Gad expertly produced “My Reflection,” and played all of the instruments on this recording. Dobin was born in Northridge, CA, and now lives in Simi Valley (near Los Angeles). She started singing at a very young age, and was inspired by listening and singing along to the Phantom Of The Opera soundtrack. Then at age nine, she became more serious about singing and performing, and she entered and appeared on the PAX-TV talent show, Destination Stardom. Since then, Dobin has performed live at many venues and events. She has sung the national anthem twice at Dodger Stadium, and she will do so again in September. She has also sung at the games of the Harlem Globetrotters and Los Angeles Avengers arena football team, and at a Mercedes-Benz tennis tournament. Dobin has also performed at many fund-raising events. She is represented by Joel Roman at the William Morris Agency.
Dobin is also continuing to develop her musicianship, writing and recording skills. “I’m learning to play piano and guitar,” she said. “I’m also looking forward to writing more songs and doing more recording. I like creating a sense of drama in rock songs. When I was little I was fascinated by Elton John’s ‘Funeral For A Friend,’ and some of my favorite artists are Evanescence, Tori Amos and 3 Doors Down.” In addition to collaborating with Toby Gad, Dobin is currently writing a song with John Porter (who has worked with Los Lonely Boys and Bonnie Raitt). She has also recorded with Danny Wilde of the Rembrandts. Lastly, Dobin plans on putting together a new live band. Last fall, she successfully fronted a band for a show at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills (CA), and her show was videotaped for promotional purposes.
