MOIO

A crucial behind-the-scenes force in Irish alternative R&B, the Dubliner came to prominence producing Chamomile Club co-founders Monjola (who’s also his brother) and Aby Coulibaly. He’s now set for solo stardom, after finding viral success on TikTok with his track ‘Moments’, two years after its original release. With the single now clocking up millions of streams, and scoring praise from Timbaland, all eyes are on MOIO’s next move…

Hear: Breakout single ‘Moments’

Watch: His recent live performance of the track with Dermot Kennedy
