Singer Alice Merton Writes Songs So We Feel Good

Soundcheck | May 9, 2019

German-Canadian-English singer and songwriter Alice Merton crafts upbeat dance-pop tunes anchored by punchy-funk basslines, complete with swirling synths and chiming guitars. Growing up in Canada, she was classically trained in piano and voice. Later, her family moved to Germany, where she studied at Popakademie (the University of Popular Music and Music Business), before the family moved to England. With her best friend and manager, she created her own international label, and earlier this year, released her debut album, MINT. Alice Merton and her band join us to play some of those crafty-funk-pop songs. - Caryn Havlik
