Raquel Martins

_ Raquel Martins is sited in London. It’s in the English capital that her free spirit mixes alternative culture, jazz and soul as a mantra.

Born in Porto, Raquel Martins has performed in Portugal on stages such as Coreto, NOS Alive, and Matosinhos em Jazz. In 2025, she released her debut full-length album, exploring the intimacy of alt-pop through layers of drum machines, soft grooves, and percussion, accompanied by nylon-string guitar. The album traces a story of emotional turbulence, self-discovery, and quiet transformation.

Among the tracks she unveiled throughout the year are “NINGUÉM,” “I WANNA LIVE NEXT TO THE SEA,” “IF I GAVE YOU MY DREAM,” and “LITTLE BOY,” all integral to this musical narrative marked by sensitivity and depth.
