Mins, the 24-year-old Dutch musician, delivers HWYGO, a lo-fi bedroom indie pop song featuring synths, crunchy guitars, and falsetto vocals. The track explores themes of acceptance, goodbyes, and letting go.
“HWYGO is about acceptance and goodbyes, letting things be how they are, and moving on. I have a hard time with not thinking about things too much. I spend too much time regretting and hoping and not living in the now,” Mins explains.
Born Minne Bussemaker in Amsterdam and raised in the Dutch countryside, Mins grew up in an artistic household with actor parents. Initially pursuing a career as a professional basketball player, an injury shifted his path toward music. He auditioned for the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), co-founded by Paul McCartney, and was accepted despite a lack of formal music theory training. Mins now resides in Liverpool, focusing entirely on his music career.
Tracks like HWYGO would fit well on Spotify playlists such as indie pop & chill, Pollen, Fresh Finds Indie, and Bedroom Pop.
