History

Growing up, Ronnica listened to Lauryn Hill and Billie Holiday in her dad’s car out of his custom speakers from his home island of Anguilla. Her mother was a singer who enjoyed soft rock and found herself at odds with Ronnica and her brother, as they loved louder groups like Korn and Linkin Park. As a teenager, Ronnica played in various rock bands. [6]

In 2015, right after Ronnica graduated high school, she made a Craigslist posting seeking a drummer for a new project, which is where she found Huang. [7] Mint Green was the first band Ronnica played in where she was lead vocalist and front-woman. The band was named for Ronnica’s favorite color which she has described as, “not too loud, not too soft” like their music. [8] [9]

In November 2017, after just one EP release, the band was approached at a show by 6131 Records about a record deal. [10] This caused two members of the band to drop out, realizing they weren’t prepared for this level of commitment to the project. [11]

Mint Green released two independent self-funded EPs before being signed to Pure Noise Records [12] [13] and releasing their first full-length LP, All Girls Go to Heaven, in 2022. [14] [15] [11]

In 2023, Mint Green played Boston Calling Music Festival's Sunday date on a lineup with Paramore, Queens of the Stone Age, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. [16] [17] [18]

In 2025, the band headlined the Rat City Arts Festival with other local groups, including Tiberius, and Shallow Pools. [19] [20] [21]
