Rachel Platten

I'm a fighter, and I don't take no for an answer.

Music truly heals, and I am so grateful to have learned that through Musicians on Call.

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.'

I live in the social purgatory of the San Fernando Valley, while my eldest daughter is bused to a charter school in the fantasy land of Bel Air.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

I'm so hands-on, from the color of my tour bus to what I eat for dinner at 5 or the way the lights are hung.
