Songwriting saved Fimone’s life, but before music became the outlet for her that it is today, she struggled with addiction, trauma, and the overwhelming journey of self-acceptance. In this episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, Fimone opens up about her path from growing up in rural Minnesota to navigating the complexities of identity, addiction, and ultimately, healing.

She shares how unhealthy relationships, a near-death experience, family, and the pressures of being an independent artist shaped her, and how music became her way of processing emotions she didn’t know how to express. We dive into the highs and lows of her career, the reality of sobriety, and the powerful lessons she’s learned along the way.

Fimone’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and the courage to embrace authenticity. If you've ever struggled with self-acceptance, addiction, or finding your voice, this episode is for you.

About Fimone: Born from a lightning bolt in rural Minnesota, Fimone began crafting original music at 16, guided by their first Fender. Overcoming small-town challenges and struggles with addiction, she forged a unique sound in Nashville, blending country, blues, and rock. With 10+ years as an independent artist, she’s toured the U.S. and Europe, collaborated with Grammy winners, and earned acclaim with their self-directed music video “Fire,” which won the Audience Award at Indie Memphis Film Festival. The lead singles from Fascination – "Will" and "The Guide" – received support from country music industry leaders CMT, ACM, and CMA. The music video for "Will" rotated on CMT Music, and the visualizer for "The Guide" premiered with All Country Music. The project was further covered by Rainbow Rodeo. AntiMusic and News Is Out, topped off with an interview with WKRN Channel 2's Local on 2. Fimone’s powerful live performances and evocative songwriting have gained her spots on Lightning 100, WWLTV, WWOZ New Orleans, PBS On Stage Twin Cities, The Daily Yonder, and Connect LGBTQ magazine. An advocate for social justice, she draws comparisons to Brandi Carlile and Alabama Shakes. With skills as a producer, songwriter, and director, Fimone is a true renaissance artist in today’s vibrant creative scene.
