Mist2 9 is a musician with a definite mission – not just to produce music, but restore a lost sense of passion. His latest album The Reclaim is not just an album but also an essential move in his music career. Having taken a break in recording and releasing music at a time when they were beginning to draw attention, Mist29 opted to re-enter the picture with even greater strength and determination. That choice is evident in this album – as it acts as a moment to look within, to reconnect to their creative force, to be an artist.
With a clear yet not simplistic objective to make the best music possible, Mist29 mixes profound emotion, musical ability, and creativity in storytelling in each song. Songs such as the alteregos track delves into the minds of an artist in a hard situation, revealing the inner conflict of quitting and pushing on. Mist2 with 9-all by himself does all the work, including the writing and the production. Although such a style may be difficult to achieve, it produces music that is authentic, impulsive and which evokes emotions.
By means of The Reclaim, Mist29 is pursuing an energy-filled future, self-growth, and significant relationships with the audience. Among his plans is to have more radio plays and live shows as they plan to take back their position in the music industry. The album symbolizes the reconnection to their roots, as well as a determination to take a step forward with a new intensity and creative vision.

What inspired you to write “The Reclaim,” and what does the title mean to you?
I feel like this album was a self reflection of something that I lost the passion for. I stopped recording and releasing music when I was just starting to get recognition. So, it made me step out of my comfort zone and claim my passion back.
Is there a particular message or story you wanted to convey through this track?
I don’t really have a particular message that I’m trying to convey. I just want to make the best music possible and showcase the artistry that my city and I can offer. I think the song that best resonates with how I feel is alteregos where there’s two sides of an artist one that wants to give up on his passion and the other one that’s willing to do whatever it takes to make it in the music industry.
Were there any specific events or personal experiences that shaped the lyrics or mood of the song?
I don’t feel like I had any events that motivated me to write certain lyrics or create a certain song. I just try to put myself mentally in situations or create an idea and try to indulge myself into that by relaying the lyrics on the song.
Were there any challenges you faced during the production of this song?
Producing songs in general is difficult, I do everything my own so just getting everything down is a science. I still feel like I could have done better
