KISSFM: Freddy Wexler Shares Reaction To Hearing “Mon Soleil” in ‘Emily In Paris’

Freddy Wexler was tapped to work on an original song for one of Netflix’s biggest shows, Emily In Paris. What came out of it is a gorgeous nod to the show (and Paris) called “Mon Soleil” sung by the series’ own Ashley Park (as Mindy Chen). Wexler was approached by the show’s creator, Darren Star, to come up with the original song after having connected with Park via Instagram. Freddy was inspired by a video Ashley had posted talking about the rise of Anti-Asian hate, and reached to her right away. Freddy opened up about being approached by Star, working with Ashley, and putting together “Mon Soleil” in an exclusive Q&A.
