What’s the Story About Mint Simon (they/them)?
Mint Simon is the debut solo project of the front person of indie-pop band Caveboy. Born and raised in Montreal, Mint is a theatre kid, turned band lead, turned pop star living somewhere on the gender spectrum between Cher and Prince. This debut solo project sees Mint’s new musical romance unfolding, and their soul spilling out. Their new music is a sonic and lyrical exploration on love, missed opportunities, desire, and sexual liberation. Mint is using this as a vehicle for self-discovery and expression, as they develop their unique musical sound as a solo act while sharing their journey of self-acceptance with captivating and effortlessly catchy pop tunes. Leather, pleather, shimmer n glimmer – they are unapologetically queer – a pop prince tapping into their 80s and 90s influences, while being unabashedly themselves and having zero restrictions.
