See Rachel Platten Perform Live Today!

33-year-old singer-songwriter, Rachel Platten has blown up this year thanks to her hit  “Fight Song.”  It has been and continues to be one of our most requested songs on KROC.

She's been writing and performing for over a decade now and says she wrote "Fight Song" during a low moment in her career.

Platten told laweekly.com:

"I’d been trying to make this career happen for quite a long time, and it seemed like a lot of doors were closing, there weren’t a lot of reasons to keep going," she explains. "But something in me, this tiny little voice would not let me give up, and I don’t know what it was. I think I made this decision that I just loved making music, and it didn’t matter what level I got to do it on, and ‘Fight Song’ was this declaration that I’m going to keep going, and I’m going to keep believing in myself, even if it seems like it’s impossible.”

Rachel will be performing and signing autographs today at 4:00 pm at the Rotunda inside the Mall of America.
