In this episode, I sit down with Raquel Liane, a powerhouse R&B singer-songwriter whose journey from musical theater to soulful self-expression is as compelling as her voice. We talk about how growing up in a military family shaped her resilience, why she left college to reclaim her narrative, and the emotional freedom she’s found in writing her own music. From the dance floor energy of her breakout hit “Circles” to the layered introspection of her newest single “Golden,” Raquel’s catalog is a testament to evolving artistry. Whether you’re stepping into your own voice or learning to trust your creative process, this one is for you.
