About Me

After spending a nomadic childhood moving between the contrasting climes of Glasgow, Bahrain and Southampton Mokita arrived in London to work as a barman at the legendary Half Moon, which has featured such acts as The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison and U2.
Mokita blends the organic tone of natural instrumentation and plaintive vocals with a unique, subtle, electronic production. Giving bittersweet gems that explore the journey of personal experience, Mokita deliver the intimacy and desire sorely needed in music.
Having collaborated with acclaimed producer Mike Nielsen (Jamiroquai, Underworld) and had two tracks 'Made of Stone' and 'Two Words' selected as Record of The Day the music industry's unofficial tastemaker, Mokita was No1. on the Indiestore download chart.
Recently Mokita has been seen supporting Beth Rowley and performing at City Showcase in which Amy Winehouse, Keane and Razorlight have previously played.
Forthcoming debut single release via itunes- 'why?' available April 2008
