Fair enough; I've altered it.

@Tapfret, I think you may have accidentally copied the Spotify biography in the original post when you added her artist page.

Rachel Flowers is a multi-instrumentalist and composer from California working in several different branches of rock music. Despite having been permanently blind from an early age, she has gained a reputation for being an impressive keyboard virtuoso as well an accomplished flute, guitar, bass, saxophone and Chapman Stick player. Her star in the progressive rock community rose swiftly from 2011 onward, after she began publishing solo piano and synthesizer recordings of songs by Emerson, Lake & Palmer on YouTube, which even gained her the attention of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake themselves. Since then, she has released three solo albums and has performed with Herbie Hancock, Dweezil Zappa, Rick Wakeman, Arturo Sandoval, Michael Sadler and Terje Mikkelsen, among many others. She also played piano at Keith Emerson's tribute concert in 2016.
Her debut album "Listen" was released in 2016 and consisted mostly of instrumental jazz fusion pieces, in tribute to Flowers's long-standing admiration of the music of John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and Ella Fitzgerald. She played every instrument on the album by herself. Her follow-up album, 2017's "Going Somewhere", showed more influence from rock and pop music and featured her vocals for the first time. With the release of her third album "Bigger On The Inside" in 2021, she has continued her musical trajectory into harder-hitting and more complex progressive rock music while retaining the characteristic optimism and listener-friendly nature of her earlier output.

The only thing I think I would change is to get rid of the "and more complex" before progressive rock.  It sort of implies her earlier work was not complex.  Songs like Gregs Favorite, Runs For Miles, Aloha, Will You Remember Me, ... are just as complex as anything on Bigger on the Inside.

Hi,

Cool ... I'll add make sure my review of her album is posted again with the information and notes.

Thx, and well done team. Much appreciated

Rachel Flowers is cleared for addition by the Eclectic team. However, the above bio is a verbatim copy of the Spotify and Rock Cellar Magazine (possibly others) bio. Please write an original bio and we can add her to the database.

Is that something I need to do because I nominated her in Jazz/Fusion?

You did nothing wrong
I only hope she does not get rejected, but (hopefully) moved to the crossover team if the JRF team thinks she's not a good fit for them.
