Rayna Zemel is a music producer, playback engineer, live show designer, photographer, film producer, consultant, and activist who has worked with artists such as Pentatonix, Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey, and The Lonely Island among many others.

In this episode, we discuss what live music executives and artists can do to care for their crews, the importance of learning emotional intelligence, how nurturing your community can help fight post-tour depression and other mental health issues, the importance of representation, what it’s like being the only black, queer female playback engineer, political activism, and how the tour industry can be more equitable post-COVID.
