INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Rachel Hale, a multi-talented singer-songwriter and creative force from southwest Arkansas, is making waves in both the music and culinary worlds. From her time as a finalist on “American Idol” Season 12 to her current endeavors in cooking, Hale’s journey has been marked by perseverance, passion and a deep desire to connect with her audience.

Hale’s latest single, “Louder,” is a testament to her strength and resilience. Inspired by her personal experiences with cancer—losing her grandmother to the disease and watching her father fight through his own battle—”Louder” has quickly become an anthem for survivors and those affected by cancer.

The song’s impact extends beyond its empowering message. Proceeds from every stream and purchase of “Louder” are being donated directly to cancer research, a cause close to Hale’s heart. The overwhelming response from listeners and supporters has helped further her mission of raising awareness and making a tangible difference.

But Hale’s talents don’t end with her music. During the pandemic, she shifted her focus to the kitchen, launching “Hale’s Kitchen,” a popular paleo cooking series that quickly amassed a loyal following. What started as a fun way to stay creative during lockdown turned into a growing platform where Hale shares recipes, hosts celebrity guests, and gives fans a glimpse into her life beyond the stage.

As she looks ahead to 2025, she’s excited for what the future holds. With new music, more “Hale’s Kitchen” episodes, and ongoing advocacy for cancer research, Rachel Hale is poised to continue inspiring fans across the globe.

For those in search of inspiration, “Louder” is more than just a song—it’s a powerful reminder of hope, resilience, and the strength to overcome.
