Together with American Songwriter, we had the pleasure of interviewing Molly Kate Kestner over Zoom video! LA-based, Austin, MN native, singer/songwriter Molly Kate Kestner, is best known for her viral hit “His Daughter,” which gained her worldwide attention in 2014. Molly recently released her latest single and music video for “Get Up”.“Get Up”, co-written with my client, Gigi Rowe, is an anthem of empowerment. It’s about that driving force that keeps you going in times of adversity, something we can all relate to, especially in these recent trying times.The video for “Get Up” is a labor of love, a full independent production in the midst of COVID-19: ”...We were able to create a tight-knit crew of close friends where each person played a vital role. We had to have everything planned out ahead of time & virtually since everyone was socially distanced...We woke up before the sun. We dug trenches in the dirt and rock. We climbed 45 minutes up a mountain with no trail in 105 degree weather. We didn't finish shooting until the sun was going down. It was NOT easy. But it was one of the most incredible things I've ever done with some of the most talented people I've ever known…”About Molly Kate Kestner:Molly Kate Kestner is a singer/songwriter whose soulful voice and timeless lyrics have set her apart since she was just a teenager. She was propelled into the music industry spotlight when her first original song she wrote at 17 years old went viral. “His Daughter,” an emotional ballad she recorded for her friends and family received over 1.5 million views in less than two weeks (it currently sits at 16+ million), got her a performance on Good Morning America, and eventually led to a major label recording contract - something this small town Minnesota native had only dreamed of.Molly Kate moved to Los Angeles in 2016 and has been busy writing songs for herself as well as for other established artists, such as Kelly Clarkson & Andy Grammer. She has released seven singles with Atlantic Records. Her song “Compromise” landed a national Jeep Campaign while her most popular release, “Prom Queen”, reached over 40 million streams on Spotify & Apple Music.In 2019, Molly released her first independent single since "His Daughter". One week after it's release, she performed the song with 30,000 choir students to form the largest choir in America: The American Young Voices. It's since been used in various nationwide placements such as American Idol & So You Think You Can Dance.When the world turned upside down in 2020, Kestner took the time to reflect and write. During that time she organized a virtual benefit concert to raise awareness and funds against human trafficking with over 6 thousand people tuning in and $10,000 raised. Since then, she's continued to write and record new music and she's looking forward to releasing it all. In a world that has seen so much darkness, it is her hope to create and share as much light as possible.We want to hear from you!

Following female homosexuality and bisexuality throughout popular music, Women of Atlantic host Colleen “Cosmo” Murphy builds to singer-songwriter Hayley Kiyoko as one of the next to carry on this critical viewpoint. Kiyoko talks growing up as a gay woman, presenting previously unseen stories in her music videos, and reveals how she was finally able to write a song like “He’ll Never Love You (HNLY).”Respect: The Women of Atlantic is a special series on What’d I Say.

The art of the protest song is tracked throughout music history, while an extended conversation with singer-songwriter and activist MILCK anchors our journey.Following our history lesson, MILCK explains the origin story behind eventual Women’s March anthem, “Quiet.” She then ponders the role of art in mobilization, and she details her Chinese-American background and perspective. In January 2019, NPR looked back on “Quiet” and its impact on the march, saying that it both “caught fire overnight,” as discussed here, and is a song that’s “still ringing” out for those who connect with its message."Respect: The Women of Atlantic" is a special series on What’d I Say.

For a while, ABIR’s songwriting didn’t quite match her reality. Not having been in one, she was "writing these heartbreaking songs as if I'd been in a 10-year relationship.”But as she rose through the NYC pop scene, and upon discovery by Atlantic Records in an opening show slot, it’s been an authentic adjustment. Hearing her story will illustrate that progression, while also letting you in on her early attachment to Keyshia Cole, and explaining why she decided on “MINT” for her 2018 EP title. Simply put, you’ll meet a rising creative at peace with herself, along with the life experiences she now has to draw upon."Respect: The Women of Atlantic" is a special series on What’d I Say.

A childhood fandom (and eventual tattoo) of Elvis. A deep love of My Chemical Romance and concept records. A range of influences stretching from Taylor Swift to Danzig.With such diverse touchstones, you wouldn’t expect Atlantic Records artist Goody Grace to be so polished, to have such a focused sound, to establish an aesthetic all his own. But that’s exactly what he’s done through full length record “Infinite,” and a slew of buzzed-about singles like “Scumbag" featuring blink-182, and the career kick-off of “Memories.”Through our conversation, you’ll discover how he blends those influences, plus how he started making music at around 12 years old and what song from The Smiths gives him goosebumps.JeffersonStudios.com

When songwriting trio A R I Z O N A talks creativity, it’s in lockstep with authenticity. “It's a funny sort of thing to pursue, because there's being creative in a way that's authentic to you, and then there's being creative for the sake of being creative. And so sometimes when you're down the rabbit hole, you can cross over.”This sort of honest and enlightened take on the music world sets the tone for the remainder of a lively conversation, which stretches from the late-night creation of “Let Me Touch Your Fire,” to the idea of being each others’ “rock in the ground” while “doing one of the craziest jobs,” aka making music. No matter what the topic covered — yes, there’s even a discussion about “Taylor Ham vs. Pork Roll” — you can be sure you’re getting the most authentic versions of Zachary Charles, Nate Esquite, and David Labuguen.You can now listen to "ASYLUM," the sophomore album from the group.JeffersonStudios.com
