Each noun can be masculine, feminine, or sometimes both depending on whether we are talking about a man or woman.

La mente = feminine

La calle = feminine

Predidente = La Presidente (woman) / El Presidente (man)

Cantante = La cantante (woman) / El cantante (man)

and you would add the indef or def article?

Un cantante (a male singer)

Una cantante (a female singer)
