Meena Ysanne

On Repeat: The Music Podcast

Welcome back to another episode of On Repeat!

This week our guest is the very talented Meena Ysanne from I Love Strings

She is a New York based, composer, arranger, producer, and violinist, and has worked, recorded and toured internationally playing violin, violawith some incredible names such as Smashing Pumpkins, Christina Perri and Tiesto. Not only that, but she has an equally impressive resume composing soundtracks for commercials, television and films, with her work featured on The Discovery Channel's The Lonely Planet Guides, and she has since gone on to work with Tilda Swinton and Aaron Eckhardt, HBO, BBC, plus recently composed the music for a beautiful VANS sneakers advert and worked with the illustrator Jo Ratcliffe for this beautiful Chanel illustration. Wow!

In this episode we speak about music and activism, two very important and interwoven themes in Meena's work. We also speak about composing soundtracks, having a curious mind, and what it’s like to be an artist in New York City in 2020.
