Show Notes
The Kelly Alexander Show welcomes Canadian pop recording artist Mint Simon who has just released their debut EP "Chimera" and will be performing at the world-renowned music festival Osheaga in August in Montreal. Mint Simon talks to us about their sound and who influenced them growing up including Prince. They also let us know that going through the pandemic affected their mental health and how their music helped them through it. We delve into how they got chosen to perform at Osheaga this year, what it means to them and what it is like to write music for TV and film, (having some of their songs placed on shows like Grey's Anatomy, Madame Web and Orange Is The New Black). Enjoy the conversation and thank you for listening!
