Happy 19th Birthday to Rachel Crow!

Let’s take a look at her inspiring Hollywood journey, from X Factor to Sundance!

At just 13 years old, Colorado native Rachel Crow showcased her unbelievable voice (& amazing personality) for millions of people on Season 1 of “The X Factor.”

Months after her fifth place finish, Rachel released her debut EP, “Mean Girls” in June of 2013. Fun fact: Carlos from “Big Time Rush” decorated the “Mean Girls” music video:

In 2014, Rachel made her big-screen debut, when she voiced Carla the bird in “Rio 2.” But the beginning of her film career certainly didn’t signal the end of her music career. Watch this:

She also played Nikki in the 2015 DCOM, “Invisible Sister.”

Now, Rachel’s back on the big screen, with a starring role in “Deidra & Laney Rob a Train.”

The film premieres TONIGHT at the legendary Sundance Film Festival. Sounds like a pretty good birthday to us!

We LOVE Rachel as a singer and actress, but we also love her as a person. Instead of letting her “X Factor” finish get her down, she’s worked so hard to build an absolutely amazing career on her own. Happy birthday, Rachel! You’re so beautiful now!
