Adventures in modern music making is an arduous, but ultimately rewarding occupation. Moka Sovatia is a new breed of composer, uninhibited by style of genre, and cameleon-like in his approach to conjuring musical atmospheres and landscapes.
An intoxicating blend of contemporary jazz, electronica, and Instrumental rock topped off with lashings of lead guitar invigorates the senses like a toy-robot inserting fresh, duracell batteries into it's leg. Light, picture-esque landscapes coupled with dark, edgy surrealism and an inspiring eddy of colours and sensations inbetween.
Moka Sovatia is currently producing his first album, the title of which is yet to be confirmed.
