Chinese/Canadian indie pop/synthpop musician Monsune released his debut EP 'Tradition' in 2019, following the success of his 2017 single, 'Nothing in Return'. Tradition possesses a heavy Prince influence in it's lyrics and melodies. The music video for 'OUTTA MY MIND' - directed by Monsune himself - was inspired by the films of director Wong Kar-Wai, as well as paying tribute to the filmmaker.
With a very promising start to his music career, Monsune is on our radar as an artist to watch. Check out the full EP and the music video!

About the Curator: Alejandro Laverde
I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia and now live in the San Fransisco Bay Area. Growing up in Colombia I had a lot of musical influence from my family with the great Hispanic/Latin artists that transcend generations and carry the essence of the culture to this day. My curiosity for music started then and was further developed when one of my uncles took me under his wing and opened the world of music in English to me, starting with classic Rock and Metal and going all the way to Rap, R&B, Jazz, and Electronic, from there I took it upon myself to keep being curious and explore music without limiting myself to certain languages and styles I understood but rather let the music do its thing and connect with the rhythm and the artist’s body of work.
Since then I have expanded my music library and collection, for every moment in life, there is a song that can help you celebrate, recover, laugh, cry. There is no limit as a listener to explore and enjoy the beautiful gift of music, which has no barriers and welcomes everyone.
Hope you enjoy this playlist and always remember to stay curious and open-minded, you never know when you’ll find that next hidden gem to jam out to.
