SHE SHREDS with Rasan: Metal Music, Backstage Riffs & More

Rasan Loray - Ohio Chica who lives and breathes hard rock, with a passion for metal culture and the 80s–90s–2000s era

Metalheads craving real, musician-first conversations—this is SHE SHREDS with Rasan. Loud, raw interviews told in the artists’ own words. Hosted by a Latina business leader by day and a mom who lives and breathes hard rock, with a passion for metal culture and the 80s–90s–2000s era, the show dives into perseverance, craft, and the culture behind the music. Broadcasting straight from Mansfield—right between Columbus and Cleveland—I sit down with the bands and musicians who keep the riffs raw and the energy real. New episodes drop on demand.
