I feel crazy that me sticking with my dreams actually worked. It's wild and incredible.
From Rachel Platten
Even if I'm making music for people for $20 a night, at least I'm making music.
I do a lot of visualisations and meditation and a lot of hippie stuff.
My friends and family have always been extremely supportive, but the support I've received from fans has been so overwhelming. I love hearing all of their 'Fight Song' stories; I have been so inspired by so many of them.
I have always loved music. My mom used to sing with my sister and I when I was younger, and I was in choirs and loved to perform, but when I was in college, I went on a study abroad to Trinidad, and while I was there, I sang backup at my first concert.
I want to continue to remain present and grateful each day that I get to be doing what I love. Making and performing music I believe in.
I've always sung in choirs and acapella groups, but when I was in college, I finally started writing songs and playing with a band, and that ignited a desire to do it full time and pour everything I had into it.
I played piano growing up. I played classical piano since I was 5, and I sang in choirs, and I sang in plays and musicals.
My biggest fear is that I'm not good enough. I have this voice in my head that I've been battling for years that says, 'You're not really talented enough. You don't really deserve this.'
Wherever I go, people are so kind and so lovely and so warm and show their best self. So I feel very lucky.
