I was so happy to reconnect with April Duran this week. She was one of the first interviews I did back in 2015 when we started this podcast. Since then, she has started her own record label, Raghouse Records and she has been doing huge things to help female artists broaden their horizons in nontraditional ways. This includes Facebook Live for musicians and so much more. Listen as April shares her wisdom and expertise.
