❤️‍🩹MEND

NEW Album Mend The Spirit out June 26, 2024

❤️‍🩹 Bri (Mend) has used songwriting as a tool to channel her highest dreams, lessons and affirmations. Each song carries the burden of a little pain and a little work. The message is this: freedom, connection and love are what we sing about because it is what we live for. Community is what it’s all about, which is why Mend encourages other artists to collaborate, jam and flow with her on this journey to create a new world through song. She has performed live at various alternative art events. She wrote, recorded and produced her latest full-length album Mend the Spirit in her home studio with help from her Pattern Nation friends CydEva (featured artist, Rise and Shine) and CostaBesta (Producer, Rise and Shine and No More Bad Dreams, and featured artist for No More Bad Dreams).
