BTB Ep 236: Musical activism and building your own label with Raye Zaragoza

This week, Ryan sits down with award-winning singer-songwriter and multicultural activist Raye Zaragoza. After a video of her song “In the River” went viral in 2016 and became a rallying anthem for the Standing Rock protests, Raye has dedicated her career to amplifying the voices of disadvantaged communities. Raye also truly embraces the “Break the Business” mindset through her inspiring work in starting her own record label using the Patreon platform. Whether you want to learn more about how you can use your art to help effect social change, or how you can find lasting success as a truly independent artist-entrepreneur, you can learn a lot from Raye’s words in this interview. Her latest album will be coming out later this year and you can check out the album’s first two singles “Fight Like a Girl” and “The It Girl” now on major music platforms and on her website www.rayezaragoza.com.Rate/review/subscribe to the Break the Business Podcast on iTunes, SoundCloud, Stitcher, and Google Play.
