Mend
Mend is an artist, musician and healer who blends electronic pop with sounds of the healing arts. her upcoming self-titled debut album brings the most unlikely genres together to encourage both meditation and celebration. from sound bath to folk to electronic pop, Mend is medicine for every chakra. Artist, singer and composer Mend blends soothing vocal harmonies with emotionally striking electronic pop music. Inspired by ecstatic dance and experimental art spaces, her music drifts seamlessly from the yoga studio to the rave and back again.
In summer 2023, Mend released her first single Glad I Exist out of her home studio in Kwikwetlem/ kʷikʷəƛ̓əm / Coquitlam BC. Glad I Exist is a sonic journey that bridges death and rebirth. Based on the words her book, ‘Glad I Exist’, written and illustrated in 2021, this song hopes to inspire and impact young people effected by thoughts of suicide. In her music video for Glad I Exist, Directed and Filmed by Scott Groller, Mend uses green screen technology to place herself into green paint on her body, representing her ‘higher’ selves pulsing together through the vibration of life force energy.
Rise and Shine (Deluxe Mix by Costa Besta) [feat. Cydeva] in collaboration with local art group Pattern Nation, merges house beats of Costa Besta with Mend’s atmospheric vocals and CydEva’s spoken word. The upcoming music video for Rise and Shine features the magic of their creative friendship.
Mother Bear chronicles the process of walking away from an abusive relationship, and was written after an encounter with a black bear brought the spirit of the bear into Mend’s art. Airy synths, hand pan drum and a roomful of harmonies walk the listener through the path away from abuse, one step at a time.
Since beginning her work on Mend, she has brought her music to the local art scene, bringing song, breath work and guided meditation to stages and immersive art exhibitions. Her yogic experiments push the boundaries of traditional performance, leaving audiences spellbound and captivated.
Mend’s performances are more than just artistic spectacles; they are immersive experiences that transport spectators into an alternate dimension of heightened emotions and unbridled exploration of the self.
Together we will weave the worlds of wellness, music and performance art.
