A SHERO's Journey: L'Rain

Taja Cheek aka L'Rain joins host Carmel Holt this week to discuss
her brilliant, genre-bending, and multiverse of a third album, I
Killed Your Dog, which saw Taja contemplating definitions /
redefinitions of womanhood and femininity. An in-depth look at
Taja's journey thus far reveals an artist who has always been an
intrepid explorer of musical worlds: from her classical training on
piano, cello, and recorder as a child, to crate digging through her
father's record collection, to teaching herself bass so that she
could play bands and join the ranks of a burgeoning Brooklyn scene
of rock, DIY, experimental, and noise, then taking a
self-determined path that led her out of the racist and sexist
environment of her college music program to throwing shows and
working as music director of her college radio station, where Taja
would go even deeper into music discovery and gathering the seeds
of her future musical self as L'Rain.
