In a move that blurs the line between professional expertise and personal vulnerability, a celebrity matchmaker who spends her days coaching others toward love is releasing a deeply personal debut EP drawn from her own romantic trials. Rachel London, known to clients as a private matchmaker and dating coach, steps into the spotlight under her musical alias Rachel June with the six-song set Wild & Holy, out November 6. The project is not a sideline—it is a raw, emotional chronicle of the same heartbreak and resilience she helps her clients navigate.
For years, June has built a career guiding accomplished individuals through the complexities of modern relationships. Yet even as she helps others find partners, she has been quietly documenting her own romantic missteps and triumphs through songwriting. “There’s this duality in my life. I’m helping other people fall in love while I’m still letting love teach me,” June says. “I’m both the expert and the student.” That tension between intellectual understanding and emotional processing is the core of Wild & Holy. As she explains, “You can understand something in your head, but your heart still needs time to work through it.”
The EP blends country-pop flair with soulful, honest storytelling. Its title track, “Wild & Holy,” leans into a reverent, soulful sound that explores surrender, faith, and intentional living. The six tracks—Rolls Royce Cowboy, Dating Other People, Wild & Holy, If I Knew, Life Lately, and Closure—trace distinct emotional seasons. The closing track, Closure, marks the end of a significant chapter. June wrote these songs during periods of romantic uncertainty, and she now says she is in the happiest and healthiest relationship of her life. “I’ve been in the trenches, too. I’ve experienced the heartbreak, the uncertainty, and the lessons that come with figuring out love,” she shares. “Those experiences have made me a more empathetic matchmaker, but they’ve also shaped me into the woman I am today. I want people listening to know they’re not alone, and that there’s hope on the other side.”

The EP was co-written with producer Kyler Daron at Den Studios in Garden City, Idaho. For June, whose earlier music career included international distribution through Sony, Universal, and Warner, this independent project was a chance to create without commercial pressure. She and Daron prioritized authenticity and creative freedom over chart ambitions. The artist name Rachel June carries personal weight: June is her middle name, shared by both of her grandmothers—one a singer and painter, the other a painter—making the moniker a tribute to the creative lineage that shaped her.
For June, the project reflects a broader philosophy. “I’ve come to believe life doesn’t simply happen to us. We’re conscious co-creators, and the lens we choose truly shapes our experience. And then the invitation is to participate, to be intentional about the life and love we want.” She brings that same mindset to her matchmaking clients, encouraging them to approach romance with hope and purpose. “Never lose the parts of yourself that make you feel most alive,” June says. “Music has always been one of those things for me. And I think the right relationship should make room for all of who you are.”

Why it matters: Rachel June’s EP forces a reexamination of how we separate professional authority from personal experience—especially in matters of the heart. By releasing work born from her own romantic struggles while simultaneously advising others on theirs, she challenges the notion that experts cannot also be students. The project suggests that vulnerability, far from weakening credibility, can deepen empathy and connection, both in music and in the relationships we build.
