Bio

Toronto singer/songwriter lemin. emerged in 2015, merging her deep and soulful ballads with electronic, alternative-pop and R&B. The result of her own experimentation with production and her distinct vocal performance is a truly unique, genre-bending expression. lemin. first garnered attention releasing singles Better For You and Your Friends (Interlude) to SoundCloud. Her debut EP, hold A: act 1 was released in November of 2017 and was to be followed by hold A: act 2 September 21. The EPs focus on themes of love and breakup, but more importantly, self actualization and personal growth. The EP’s title is a nod to Mario Kart: “hold A to accelerate.”
