Rachel auditioned for The X Factor USA in Long Island, New York over the summer of 2013. She was praised for her stunning rendition of Queen's "Somebody to Love," which has now reached almost 9 million views on YouTube. She progressed quickly through the rounds of competition and found herself amongst the top 16 in the Live Shows. Her versions of "I Hope You Dance," "Anyway" and "Alone," brought loads of attention from both the judges and the viewers at home. She placed 11th and garnered a large community of supporters, which she has lovingly donned "The Potterazzi."
Country music recording artist and Broadway star Rachel Potter is not afraid to dream. With her recent triumph of landing in the TOP 12 of this seasons X FACTOR and the release of her EP “Live the Dream,” Potter is well on her way to making her own dreams a reality.

While Potter’s next ambition is introducing the world to her country roots, her fans know her best for her roles in hit Broadway shows, such as Wednesday Addams in THE ADDAMS FAMILY alongside Brooke Shields, the Mistress in the Tony-nominated revival of EVITA with Ricky Martin, and as Glinda on the national tour of Stephen Schwartz’s smash hit, WICKED. But long before she was charming audiences eight times a week on the Great White Way with her affable humor and crystal clear chops, Rachel was already doing what she loves: singing.
