But she couldn’t have predicted the intense, electronic landscapes she’d make for her debut EP: after just a few months working in the engine room of music production, the young artist has emerged as a one-woman pop factory. She wrote her first song at just ten years old, inspired by the loss of a friend who was moving away and the theme of saying goodbye. Its heady mix of pain, confusion, and eventual resolution – remains a rich subject for this suite of robust, endlessly melodic pop songs. A couple of years ago, enrolling in a music production degree in Bergen, Moyka “dived into the synth world.” From the moment it opened to the moment it closed, she was in school, covering herself in the complex electronic landscapes. Working with Cubase and soft synths and samples, she learned how to create, blow by blow, “my own, mystical, synth-driven universe.” Moyka is a contradiction: a private person who writes confessional music. Anyone who wants to know who she is is all there in the songs – mysterious, magical, but accessible. “I want to create a mystical universe,” she reaffirms, “where people can feel at home.”, says Moyka.
