Hello Fam! I am so excited to bring to you "They Say!”
This video was filmed the day after the Stay at Home order was put into effect in Los Angeles County on March 16th. Many of my friends who are gig workers, service industry workers, independent contractors, and artists were left without work, without a clear plan for how to pay rent in April, and without certainty of being able to qualify for unemployment. As American life crumbled around us due to the looming pandemic, suddenly it was clear that in cases of emergency, not all Americans are truly safe and accounted for. At sunrise we walked through the empty streets of downtown LA. We walked past the restaurants, businesses and venues that would hopefully make it through the Spring. We walked through the thick fog of silence of a city that was bustling barely two weeks prior. In between takes we referred each other to artists grants, and exchanged ideas on how to survive this mess. We were not only witnessing it, we were living inside of it.
I hope you enjoy “They Say” and share it with your friends and community. Thank you to Matthew Freiheit for capturing this moment with me.

So excited to share the official music video for "The It Girl!" I wanted to create a video that was like diving into the weird world of insecurity & self criticism inside your brain. I wanted explore what it would look like to see the voices in your head come to life in a strange animated world. This video is about taking all of those voices, telling them to shush, finding your true self, and having a little dance party with your insecurities along the way. This video was created IN QUARANTINE with just two friends, a green screen, and the animation skills of CSD Videography.

Raye Zaragoza’s Hold That Spirit is an album rooted in this realization. The LA-based singer-songwriter has always made political folk music that is informed by her identity as a woman of mixed Indigenous, Asian and Latina heritage. She gained recognition in 2016 with “In The River,” which was written to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline. When she performed a Tiny Desk Concert at NPR, she spoke and sang about making live music more economically accessible. As she approached 30 last year, Zaragoza started thinking specifically about the expectations placed on women as they age: what they should have achieved in their careers, the nuclear families they are expected to pursue and nurture, the way that beauty standards and ageism collude to make it more and more difficult to be seen. Raye's new album "Hold That Spirit" is out now!
