2024 Awards Gala – Rachael Leahcar

Be prepared to be blown away by the incredible voice of Rachael Leahcar at the Blind Australian of the Year Awards 2024 Gala on Saturday, 26 October at the Amora Hotel in Brisbane.

Singer/songwriter Rachael Leahcar’s dynamic range, explosive vocals and powerful performances have stunned audiences across the globe.

Rachael smashed Australian television records when 4.1 million people tuned in to watch her Blind Audition on the first season of The Voice (2012). With a career that has seen her release three Top 10 ARIA charting albums, tour her live show to sold out crowds and travel to Italy to sing with Andrea Bocelli’s orchestra, Rachael has shown that she is capable of achieving anything despite being legally blind.

Rachael’s latest album, Shadows, was released on April 7 and debuted at #5 on the Australian Album ARIA Chart. Shadows marks Rachael’s transformation from a shy teen to a strong young woman. It will allow audiences a glimpse behind the curtain – an intimate look into the world of a true artist. Bolder than ever, Rachael is ready to expose not only her vulnerabilities, her fears and regrets but also to share her message of resilience and determination to face the world head on. With her signature, hauntingly-beautiful vocals, Rachael will reveal more of her story previously hidden in the shadows.
