Octavia's interest in music started at the age of 12 when she sung in school concerts at high school. When watching her father, Barney Rachabane, perform live at the Market Theatre, she wanted to perform with him. She said, "Music was all around me. I was bound to it in a way. I decided that this was the way I want to take. This is where I want to be. I love it, I enjoy it and I would be happy doing it and making money out of it."
 
After matric, Octavia studied at Pretoria Technikon and started performing professionally. 
 
Octavia has composed a lot of original material and worked with the likes of the late Glen Mafoko, Bheki Khoza, Khaya Mahlangu.

Octavia's career is going from strength to strength. At the age of 38 she is now stepping out from the side of legendary father and paving her own way. She says, "I want to be an individual. I want to make it on my own. The music is people's emotions, people's experiences. It is their lifestyle. I don't want to follow a certain trend. I want to do me."
