Off the Record is a new series from Raised Media Co. created for independent artists who want to talk honestly about their music. Each episode goes beyond the tracklist, inviting musicians to share what inspired their songs and what the lyrics truly mean. Everything is filmed in a stripped-down studio so the conversation stays real.
What Makes Off the Record Different
Off the Record was built for people who care about how independent music actually gets made. The setup is simple. Artists get time to break down their process, talk about their ideas, and share the parts of songwriting that rarely get airtime. You get to hear details that usually never leave the studio.
Episodes dig deep. You hear how artists find the right words, what a song means to them, and the stories behind the music.
Kicking Off the Series With Antonette Paviera
Episode 1 drops July 17, 2025
We’re launching Off the Record with Antonette Paviera, a singer-songwriter known for her honest storytelling and unique style. In her episode, Antonette opens up about the lyric choices that define her sound, the relationships and experiences that inspired her music, and her ongoing battle with ADHD. She also shares what shaped her musical style and how she approaches songwriting as an independent artist.
Throughout the conversation, you see what happens when an artist claims their space and speaks without holding back. That’s the spirit we want every episode to capture.
Independent artists deserve a space to tell their own stories without filters. Off the Record is about hearing from musicians directly, not through press releases or highlight reels. Every episode is a chance to see how a song gets built and what it means when the lights are off and the cameras stop rolling.
You hear the real process, in the artist’s own voice.
