Melissa and Isabelle chat with Muriel Gonzales, also known as Muri, a Filipino artist and violinist who recently released her debut EP 11ème. Muri has roots in Manila, Paris, and London, and is a member of the indie-folk band The Ransom Collective.
This episode feels like a warm hug! Muri shares her experiences as a nomadic polyglot who has lived across Europe, how culture and heritage influenced her new album, how her grandparents inspired her art, her observations on the European diaspora, and what it was like performing for the Filipino Olympic champions.
Mel and Iz also share personal stories about what it means to be first- and second-generation immigrants, and touch on social mobility in the UK vs Asia.
Muri created the Eastern Hunnies podcast jingle - so of course, we discuss the creative process behind that too!
