Raquel Ponce

About Me

Hey there! I'm Raquel Ponce, and I'm thrilled ​to welcome you to my world of music, ​acting, and dance! Nestled in the heart of ​NYC and Minneapolis, I've been honing my craft and soaking ​in the vibrant arts scene.

A proud graduate of the American Musical ​and Dramatic Academy, my journey in the ​performing arts has been nothing short of ​magical. In 2022, the highlight reel included ​a sweet victory as I snagged the 'Best ​Female Vocalist' award at SNJ Cappies – a ​moment that still feels like a dream.

As a young adult with big dreams and even ​bigger aspirations, I'm on a mission to bring ​stories to life through my voice, acting, and ​dance moves. It's not just about performing; ​it's about creating a connection, weaving ​emotions, and leaving a lasting impression.

Behind every spotlight moment, there's a ​story, and I'm here to share mine. So join me ​on this exhilarating journey where every note, ​every role, and every dance step is a ​celebration of passion, dedication, and the ​pure joy of performing.
