Miranda Joan is one of my favorite singers and the first Canadian we’ve had on Shay & The Good People! Miranda is very well-known and respected in the music scene here in New York City. She is currently on tour singing backup with The Killers! Before she left I got to sit down with her to ask about her songwriting process and her herculean sweet tooth. Miranda has such a grounding presence and her commitment to music is really inspiring. I think you’re going to get a lot out of this conversation! Miranda is currently releasing new music, linked below.
In this ep, we talk about:
• Being a Metro-North Queen!
• How the day is not done without sweets or chocolate.
• Growing up in Vancouver.
• Salmon fishing.
• We both talked about how we are being in full acceptance and serenity of our singing career. We’re in it for the long haul!
• “Music lives beyond us once you put it out into the world. You don’t know what dots those are going to connect and in what ways.” - Miranda
• Miranda’s connection to spirituality.
• Dating as a female songwriter and really telling your truth through songs.
• Freedom to pursue your dreams wholeheartedly. Unbothered and unrushed, honey!
• We ‘LOL’ when people say “Oh, I was so busy I forgot to eat”.
• I talk a little astrology (yay!). We talk about Miranda’s big three!
• I met Mirand’s mom las year at a show and she was an absolute delight. I asked her to share a little bit more about their connection!
• Miranda’s love song to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Miranda Joan played on the October 4th, 2022 show of Shay & The Good People.

P.S. I’ve been starting these pods a little differently. I’m putting a clip of their S&TGP show performance instead of jumping right into the intro. Let me know if you like that or would rather jump straight into the interview! You can send me a message on our Instagram page, @shayandthegoodpeople. Thank you!
