✨ TOUCAN (2011)

TOUCAN (2011) is a mixed collection of cover songs created during the early formation of Rachel Laing’s first professional working duo with lead guitarist and live backing vocalist, Eddy Santacreu.

Produced by Geoffrey M. Laing at Total Sound Studios, this album captures the sound that supported countless live gigs and events across Sydney and surrounding regions between 2011 and 2015. Featuring Eddy Santacreu on guitar, the recordings reflect the chemistry, musicianship, and grassroots dedication that laid the foundation for a growing performance career.

Blending acoustic pop, rock, and timeless classics, TOUCAN represents the early hustle years — live shows, real audiences, and the building blocks of artistic identity.

This album is yours to keep for life — a foundational archive from the beginning of a professional musical journey.
