Rachel Platten always dreamed of music as a career but never really thought it was possible. Fast forward to present day, Rachel is without a doubt an inspiration, with "
Fight Song" topping iTunes and radio charts in 2015, and selling more than 2 million downloads in the U.S. alone. Rachel continues to inspire with Columbia Records and a major label debut, "Wildfire," which was released January 1st, 2016. Rachel recently premiered a beautifully uplifting music video for her current single "Stand By You," another emotionally empowering anthem from the songstress. Most important to Rachel is bringing people together through the power of music.
