Early Life

Born in Ipswich, England, Fuller later moved with her family to Southend-on-Sea.

She attended St. Michaels, a private school in Leigh, where her mother was the school deputy. At fifteen Fuller won an organ scholarship to Oxford, but turned it down, explaining that she would not feel comfortable there.

Rachel Fuller's teenage years were filled with numerous music competitions, songwriting with her best friend Mikey Cuthbert and a lengthy stint as an organist in a funeral home, where she performed up to eleven times a day.
