How your journey with music began?
It began when I was seven years old. I went to music school, where I played classical piano for 12 years. After that, while playing in theater, I sang in musicals. At age 18, I decided that I wanted to make my own songs, so I started producing and downloaded my first music program. That's how it all began. I was originally going to classical music school and then transitioned to jazz music school, where I practiced jazz vocals and learned to sing well. That's how it all started. At age 18, or maybe even 16, I joined my first band as a singer. We really wanted to recreate Jamiroquai songs with funky, soulful, and disco vibes. However, after two years, the band fell apart —people didn't have time for rehearsals or developing the project. So, I decided to go solo and produce my own music. I realized that I could do it all by myself.
How about your stage experience?
When I was a kid and teenager, I participated in many singing contests. I didn't really enjoyed them because I felt immense pressure and discomfort from being compared to others. There was a lot of competition and drama, which ultimately led me to tell my mother that I didn't want to continue.
My stage experience improved when I performed in theater from ages 9 to 16. It was quite intense, like a full-time job, so eventually, the stage no longer terrified me. Before that, I was still just a kid, and kids are often unafraid in these situations.
How about your song ideas? Whats is your process while creating a song?
My songs are born in my head. Sometimes, I dream about them or find a melody in my mind just before falling asleep. From there, I get an idea of how I want the music to sound. My influences and experiences shape these visions. Music production is my favorite part because it gives me complete control over my entire musical vision.
Music is my biggest dream, my passion, my favourite thing to do.
I've dedicated my whole life to music, but I also enjoy cooking. Cooking is similar to music production in that you combine different elements to create something new. Just like adding spices to a dish, I use various production tools to create the sound I want in my music.
As an artist, I started recording and producing my own songs around the age of 18 or 19. I shared them online, and the internet allowed me to connect with people and book gigs. Playing at festivals is always special because people come to discover new music.
The best concerts are when people truly listen and appreciate what you're doing;
the energy you feel from the audience is incredible. Being a singer is known, but it's not just about being on the biggest stage—it's about the connection with the audience and the joy of sharing music.
How about your gender, does it have any influence in your profession?
I would say it's more challenging to be a female music producer because the industry is heavily male-dominated, ...
with only 3% of producers being women. This makes it hard for women to break in and succeed; we often have to work twice as hard to get the same opportunities.
One reason for this is that many men in the industry are not comfortable having women around, which can create an awkward atmosphere in the studio. Men tend to prefer working with other men to maintain their safe space. Of course this is not about every men, but I do see pattern there....
Another issue is the stereotype that girls are not as skilled in technical areas. This perception can make it harder for women to gain knowledge and experience in technical aspects of music production. Society often steers girls toward beauty and softer skills rather than technical fields, which perpetuates this disparity.
Furthermore, some female singers and performers may want to be the only woman in a group, which can limit collaboration and opportunities for other women in the industry.
I hope the situation is improving, where women aren't envious of each other. I've caught myself thinking this way too, but I don't want to let jealousy take over. It's a natural feeling, but I'm trying to work on it.
In the industry, when someone is in a higher position, they often don't want to let others in, and unfortunately, this can be true for some women too. I hope that one day, women will support and collaborate with one another, helping each other out. We all face struggles, and it's harder for us, so I hope we can work together to lift each other up.
Listen to Mint new song "Creation" feat John DLP
Tell us more about your recent song....
"Creation" is a love song that marks a joyful chapter in my musical journey. Moving from Berlin to the vibrant city of Valencia, Spain, brought a sense of happiness and inspiration into my life. The beautiful surroundings, international community, and warm atmosphere allowed me to embrace the lighter side of music.
During my time in Valencia, I fell in love, which inspired this song. The enchanting moments shared with the people around me made me feel supported and cherished. It's a song that celebrates those special connections and the uplifting experiences that come with them.
While my previous songs often delved into darker, introspective themes, "Creation" represents a shift towards a more lighthearted and soulful sound. I aim to create music that blends R&B and dance influences, capturing the essence of my time in Spain. As I continue to explore my artistic path, I look forward to balancing both the lighter and darker sides of my music.
Is it easy to be an independent artist nowadays?
I have been making music for about 10 years now. When I first started, I had beginner's luck; I got noticed quickly on platforms like Facebook and SoundCloud. Back then, it was easier to share my music and connect with other artists. But now, with the rise of Instagram and paid advertising, it's more challenging to maintain that reach in this constantly changing landscape.
I used to play a lot of gigs, but when the pandemic hit, my life changed significantly. As a full-time musician, going two years without performing was tough. It forced me to rethink my approach. While I had some experience as a music producer, mostly for my solo projects, I decided to get formal education in music production. I went to Berklee College of Music in Valencia, Spain, on a scholarship for Outstanding Woman of the Year. There, I was mentored by Susan Rogers, who worked as a sound engineer for Prince. It was an honor to be recognized and given such an opportunity.
My education was incredibly valuable, allowing me to gain new skills and pursue a career as a full-time music producer. I now work at a company called MassiveMusic, where I compose music for advertisements and brands. Despite this, I still plan to create my own music. The struggle lies in balancing full-time work with personal projects. It's a challenge for independent artists to find gigs and attention, which can be draining. My desire for full-time work increases, and I prefer to prioritize collaborative projects over my personal artistic pursuits.
