Benjamin Burkhart
Rachel was used as a main subject for a study around TikTok and jazz music and culture.
“However, even a cursory glance at the most successful videos with the hashtag #jazz shows that a very specific facet of jazz culture is particularly popular on TikTok. One of the most popular jazz videos was uploaded by Rachel Chiu (@rachelchiu1): the description of the video is “My phone was at 1% ,” and it got 8.4 million views and 2.3 million likes (Chiu, “My phone”).”
“Richmond singer wows in memorable Canada’s Got Talent audition”
CityNews Vancouver - Kate Walker
“A Richmond singer received a unanimous “yes” from the judges on Canada’s Got Talent Tuesday night. Rachel Chiu made her debut on the show, succeeding in her audition with a unique vocal performance that wowed the judges.
‘Honestly, it was kind of scary, and the nerves, they don’t ever leave me, they still come, but it’s just learning to manage it,’ she said.
‘So I was feeling a lot of excitement and nerves and something I learned is the nerves that you feel…to switch that into excitement.’”
“Rachel Chiu is Getting Tired of It All”
Tinnitist - Darryl Sterdan
“Lush and languid, moody and mellow, the Canadian singer-songwriter’s newest release is a sultry jazz-pop / contemporary soul track about choosing yourself and moving on from a draining relationship. With smoky lounge vibes and subtle rhythmic hesitation in the phrasing, it’s perfect for late-night jazz, soul, and moody R&B playlists — while Chiu’s lyrics will ring true to anyone who’s reached a romantic breaking point.”
