Rachel Platten is an American pop singer-songwriter best known for her uplifting anthems and emotionally charged ballads. Born on May 20, 1981, in New York City and raised in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, Platten grew up surrounded by music. She began playing piano at five and picked up the guitar during her teenage years. Inspired by artists like Carole King and Jewel, Platten developed a passion for songwriting early on.
After graduating from Trinity College in Connecticut, where she studied international relations, Platten briefly worked in the music industry while continuing to chase her dream of performing. She moved to New York City and took on various side jobs, playing small venues, coffeehouses, and local festivals for several years while building a loyal grassroots following.
Rachel Platten’s breakthrough came in 2015 with the release of “Fight Song,” a soaring, emotionally charged anthem about resilience and self-belief. The song struck a universal chord with listeners for its message of hope and empowerment. “Fight Song” climbed to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, topped charts internationally, and was certified multi-platinum in several countries. The track quickly became a favorite at sporting events, inspirational campaigns, and charity initiatives, further cementing Platten’s place in pop music.
Following the success of “Fight Song,” Platten released her major-label debut album Wildfire in early 2016. The album featured additional hits such as “Stand by You” and “Better Place.” “Stand by You” showcased Platten’s heartfelt lyricism and powerful vocals, peaking at No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning significant radio play. Wildfire debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, marking a milestone moment in her career.
Platten’s ability to deliver emotional, relatable songs continued with her 2017 album Waves, which included singles like “Broken Glass.” While it didn’t reach the commercial heights of Wildfire, the album highlighted her growth as an artist, incorporating more contemporary pop production while staying true to her empowering lyrical style.
On a personal level, Rachel Platten has been open about the ups and downs of her journey to success. She married Kevin Lazan, a lawyer, in 2010 after several years of dating. The couple has since welcomed two daughters, with Platten frequently sharing glimpses of her family life and motherhood experiences on social media.
In addition to her music career, Platten is an active philanthropist and advocate. She has supported causes related to mental health awareness, children’s hospitals, and social justice initiatives, often using her platform to inspire kindness and resilience.
