What does your stage name “møhx” represent?
I never really know how to answer this question because there was no logic behind this decision. I remember being in the back of an auditorium after my concert band performed awfully at one of our middle school concerts.
I was on my phone searching up cool things to do with my name and there was a very rough translation of my name in Mongolian that I think was close to the word mohx and I guess I wanted to be edgy or something so I added the ø to it.
Tell us about some of the artists and/or producers that sparked your interest in music creation, and did you have a favorite song or genre to listen to growing up?
I think I have an unhealthy obsession with Chelsea Cutler’s music. Raw honesty in songwriting is something that I strive for and I think that’s such a cool thing that she’s able to emulate with every song.
Aside from that, I grew up listening to Bollywood music so I try to draw inspiration from that in any capacity I can.
How would you say that you have grown artistically since you released your debut EP “glimpses” in 2021?
“Glimpses” was such a special project to me because I spent so much time on it. It was a project that I produced and wrote nearly every song. I remember going over every detail and trying to connect every song to last.
One of my favorite songs on that project is called “Paper Planes” which was such a fun and weird song to make. It didn’t follow the same four measure-four chord format that a lot of my songs did so it felt like I was pushing my boundaries in making music that I thought just sounded good.
But since then, I have been collaborating with a bunch of producers and mixing engineers that have been pushing me to make music that I have always wanted to make. I think that it’s helped making the music a lot more rewarding.
What do you think has been your biggest musical accomplishment since you started making songs in your bedroom at the age of 14?
Signing to Chapter Eight was such a cool experience and that led “imyt” to be my best performing song which was cool. But I think, internally, putting out my song, “The Longing”, has been one of my biggest music accomplishments thus far. That song felt like my rawest vocal performance.
My best friend, Mayzie, has always told me to put out the songs that I wasn’t confident in but with that one, we both kind of agreed. That was a validation that was so satisfying and it felt like a sign that the song was really something special.
Can we expect a music video for “I’m Sorry, You Know”? If not, do you have another song ready to be unveiled next?
I don’t think I’ll be doing a music video for this song because I feel like the visualization for it is really unique to the listener. But I do have another song coming out soon-ish that I think is the best of my artistry.
I have always wanted to dive into the feelings of nostalgia because it’s something that I have carried with me for so long moving around so much in my childhood. That’s something I’m really excited to explore with my music moving forward.
