Early life

edit

Platten was born on May 20, 1981, in New York City to Paul and Pamela Platten,[9] but grew up in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, where she attended Mason-Rice Elementary School and Oak Hill Middle School.[10][11] Her mother is a therapist.[12] She was raised Jewish. She has a younger sister, Melanie.[13][14] Platten studied classical piano from the age of 5 and then took up guitar in high school. She attended Buckingham Browne and Nichols high school, where she sang in the school's singing group.[15] At Trinity College, she was a member of the Trinity College Trinitones, the college's first all-female a cappella group.[15]

As part of study abroad programs, she studied in Rome, Italy for a few months and went to Trinidad for a full semester to do an internship at a diplomat's office and at a record label.[16][17] While she was there, she sang backup for a friend's band in front of over 80,000 people at the International Soca Monarch finals in 2002.[12][18] According to Platten, from that moment on she knew she had to pursue music full-time.[19]

Platten graduated from Trinity College with a degree in political science in 2003.[15] The same year she self-released the album Trust in Me.[20] She moved to New York City's Greenwich Village, recorded demos, and performed in a Prince and Sly and the Family Stone cover band called Dayz of Wild.[15][12] She worked several jobs, including as a waitress, a jingle writer, and an Estée Lauder salesperson.[15]

2015–2017: Wildfire

edit

On February 19, 2015, Platten released "Fight Song" from Wildfire. The song reached number six on the US Billboard Hot 100, number two on the Australian Singles Chart, number six in Ireland, number eight in New Zealand, number nine on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, and number one on the UK Singles Chart.[26] In June 2015, Platten performed "Fight Song" with Taylor Swift in front of 50,000 people in Philadelphia during Swift's The 1989 World Tour.[27][28] "Fight Song" has quintuple platinum sales in the US. Platten's 2015 Fight Song EP reached number 20 on the Billboard 200, and it was the official anthem for the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.[citation needed]

Platten served as a support act on Alex & Sierra's and Andy Grammer's "The Good Guys & A Girl Tour" in early 2015.[29] She then toured with Colbie Caillat and Christina Perri on their "Girls Night Out, Boys Can Come Too Tour" throughout the summer of 2015.[30] On September 11, 2015, Platten released second single named "Stand by You"[31] from Wildfire. It peaked in the top 10 on charts in Canada and the United States, and has peaked in the top 20 on charts in Australia and Poland. The song has since been certified Platinum in the United States.[citation needed]

After the Orlando nightclub shooting, Platten announced that proceeds from the new acoustic version of her "Fight Song" will benefit the National Compassion Fund, working to support the needs of people impacted by the event.[32] In 2016, she appeared in insurance company Nationwide's commercial, where she sang the company's jingle, "Nationwide is on your side."[33][34]

In October 2016, Platten sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" prior to Game 1 of the 2016 World Series.[35] On New Year's Eve 2016, Platten co-headlined the Times Square Ball festivities in New York City's Times Square alongside Gavin DeGraw performing "Fight Song", "Stand by You", "Beating Me Up", and John Lennon's "Imagine".[36]

edit

"Broken Glass", the lead single from her fourth studio album, Waves, was released on August 18, 2017.[38] The album was released on October 27, 2017.[39] ABC News wrote in a favorable review: "Platten's songs often are cemented by a strong message to believe in one’s self. It may seem cheesy to the cynical listeners, but she always sounds like she believes every word she says. You have to give her credit for attempting to turn her art into an inspiring platform. Even when she gets a little too over-the-top on the self-referencing 'Good Life,' you can’t help but root for her."[40] She co-wrote every song on the album.[41] Waves debuted at number 73 on the Billboard 200 chart.[42]

In 2018, Platten was the main musical attraction at the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular. Along with performing her singles "Stand By You", "Better Place", and "Fight Song", she also reminisced about her childhood in Boston.[43] From May to July 2019, Platten toured with a capella group Pentatonix as the opening act for their shows in North America. She wrote a children's book titled You Belong, named after her 2018 single; the book was released on March 31, 2020.[44] In 2022, she performed "Stand By You" at A Capitol Fourth Independence Day concert in Washington, D.C., which aired on PBS on July 4, 2022.[45]

In 2023, Platten released a new song called "Girls", and performed it at the Gracie Awards on May 23, 2024.[46][47] Platten released a song titled "Bad Thoughts" on April 26, 2024.[48] Platten originally wrote it to help herself get through a panic attack.[49] Her fifth studio album, I Am Rachel Platten, was released by her own label Violet Records on September 4, 2024.[50][51]

Platten worked for nearly a decade playing cover performances and recording songs before gaining mainstream recognition as an artist.[52][53] Platten's story and "Fight Song" has served as an inspiration for people around the world, who have used it as a motivation not to lose hope, when experiencing difficulties in life such as cancer, postpartum depression, and unemployment.[52][54][55] In 2017, she was presented with Gracies Impact Award, which is given to an artist who has made a positive impact on society through their music.[56] She wrote "Fight Song" at a low point, saying:[57]

It was about my own journey and my own fire that would not die, that was regardless of how much rejections I was getting, and how impossible it seemed for me to keep trying to make this dream happen, that I just wouldn't give up. The song was written at a moment of really needing to decide, "Dude, I'm 32 or 31, this is a little pathetic. I need to figure this out and get on with my life." Then I wrote "Fight Song" in this moment of just sheer desperation. I will not give up on myself. That's where it came from.

In January 2018, Platten appeared as a model in clothing brand Aerie's advertising campaign in photos that have not been retouched.[2] She appeared on the cover of The Improper Bostonian magazine's May 2018 issue.[3]
