Maverick multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Mo Van Zandt blurs the lines between science-fiction and our fast changing reality. Inspired by turn of millennium dance music and art rock icons Thom Yorke, Bjork, and Burial, she weaves together broken rhythms and ethereal vocals into the soundtrack of a new, semi-fictional, apocalyptic world. Van Zandt grew up in Texas where her musical experience ranged from classical piano to psyche drumming in Austin. She moved to Brooklyn in 2016 where she engaged with jazz, funk, and post-rock projects until the pandemic hit, breaking up her bands. To adapt to music in isolation, Van Zandt turned to electronic songwriting, distorting drum recordings and soulful vocals into songs at the intersection of annihilation and beauty. Punk undertones drive her writing and performances, transforming DIY venues and parties into an immersive, cyber-noir spectacle - her partner’s visuals dancing on the walls behind her. Drawn by the dance culture of Berlin, she moved in 2020 to record her solo project. Her debut single and music video "hurt.heal" is a testament to the healing power of the dance floor, produced and recorded at Funkhaus. Her voice caught the attention of DJ Philippa and was featured on disco single “Slow it down” released on Freerange Records. She has since been collaborating with friend and co-producer Eric Baldwin (Cocktail Party Effect). She is a cofounder and resident of ORA collective electronic music producers and vocalists.
