Meet Rachael – Founder of 129 Media & Records
Hi, I’m Rachael. I started 129 Media & Records because I saw too many creatives with extraordinary talent but no roadmap. I’ve been there myself—unheard, undervalued, and unsure how to move forward.
Whether you’re an emerging artist, a founder, or a multi-passionate creative looking to level up, I’m here to help you build your brand, market your music, and monetize your art—without losing your unique creative dream.
