mesmi is a trailblazer in music—an artist who also produces/engineers, she believes in uplifting her fellow female, AAPI & POC communities. After achieving placements in competitions like the International Songwriting Competition and GRAMMY Amplifier, mesmi most recently released her album "Slow Bloom," which the press described as "powerful, epic, yet fragile and beautiful" from a "rare voice, immense storyteller, music creator and vocalist." A self-produced/engineered project released during COVID, the LP has racked up 200K+ plays on streaming worldwide. Constantly growing, mesmi's skills have expanded from her singer/songwriter origins into music recording, and she is currently being mentored by producer 9th Wonder (Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Erykah Badu) through Sophia Chang's Unlock Her Potential program. In all her work, mesmi hopes to create in ways that are authentic, daring and illuminating, and to further connection through the power of community, culture, music and the arts.
