If you haven’t already heard of this 23 year-old singer-songwriter making waves in the music scene, you’re in luck! Moyka is the new generation of Norwegian pop that is bringing her synth-driven electronic sound, to the masses. She aims to create a mystical universe for her listeners; a place where they can feel at home.
We had the opportunity to chat with Moyka, so get ready to know more about this emerging popstar, singing about love and loss.

1. To start, who is Moyka?
I am an artist and producer from Hallingda, in Norway. I currently live in Bergen, and Iām about to release my new EP.
2. Describe your sound in 3 wordsā¦
Mysterious, dark, and synth filled electronic pop
3. Tell us about your new track, āBackwardsā…
Itās a song about heartbreak and the things that can drag you back into it. But itās also about looking and moving forward from it.
4. Who is your biggest influence & why?
Thatās very hard question, because I feel like I have many different influences. I listen to a lot of pop, and a lot of alternative and indie music, and everything just gives me so much. I get very inspired when I hear something new I want to try or something I want to write about. The ones I feel like have a really big ability to move me through their music is Robyn, Lykke Li, Kindness, and Lorde right now.
5. If you could collaborate with any artist, who would it be?
I would love to collaborate with, Kindness. They have such beautiful music, I canāt wrap my head around it. Been obsessed with their newest album, Something Like A War, for weeks now!
6. Besides music, what are you passionate about?
Iāve really fallen in love with caring for plants. I feel like I have so much love to give, and taking care of my plants just gives me so much happiness inside my heart. It sounds really strange, but itās a beautiful feeling. Iāve also set myself a goal to become really good at making soups, haha.
7. What motto do you live by?
wabi-sabi ( ä¾åÆ ) – itās a world view centred on the acceptance of things being imperfect and not complete. That weāre always moving forward. It has helped me a lot actually when it comes to making music.

8. Whatās 1 thing you canāt leave the house/hotel without?
Keys! Iāll have to come back in again
9. Whatās next for Moyka?
Iām releasing my new EP, Spaces soon. [Out now] you can listen to the singles, āBackwardsā and the title track, āSpacesā. Iām really excited to share what Iāve been doing the last months.
