Award-Winning Chart Topping Singer-Songwriter Miist

Mist's story tends to stop people in their tracks: abandoned at five, given weeks to live in her late 20s, and then discovering songwriting in her 30s with no formal training - a turning point that changed the course of her life and shaped her belief that even the smallest moments of connection can carry real meaning. Within just a few years, she wrote over 100 songs and became the first native Chinese artist to chart on Billboard's Pop/AC chart. Her new book reflects that journey. Adapted from her Top 10 U.S. podcast, it unfolds through short, accessible chapters exploring themes like loneliness, fear, gratitude, and connection, each paired with music and ending with what she calls a "15-second action" - a simple, immediate step to shift perspective, reconnect, and approach daily life with greater intention. The result is something that sits at the intersection of memoir, mental health, and practical philosophy, blending storytelling, music, and research into a format that feels grounded and personal rather than prescriptive. find out more about Miist www.MiistTheSinger.com www.Instagram.com/miistthesinger About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Sports Illustrated photographer.
