This episode, we talked with Maine singer and songwriter Mehuman. We chatted about her latest album, Beautiful Ashes, as well as her songwriting process, how she grew up in a musical household, her joy in collaboration with other musicians, her new podcast I Wish I Wrote It, inspiration, and how she defines success!

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Folk hop for hip folk is the signature sound coined by singer/songwriter Mehuman, and it resonates with authenticity and integrity throughout her music. Her most recent album, Beautiful Ashes, carries her personal narrative fraught with love, joy, loss, and sorrow into redemption and restoration. She is a former Arista Records artist and multiple award-winning SESAC songwriter who has shared the stage with the likes of Norah Jones, Sheila E, Ani DiFranco, The Verve, KoKo Taylor, and a previous guest of ours, Laurie Jones.
