Growing up in the forests of Norway’s Hallingdal Valley, 24 year-old Monika Engeseth nursed the dream – or rather, the conviction – that she’d one day be creating music. But she couldn’t have predicted the intense, electronic landscapes she’d create 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, inspired by the loss of a friend who was moving away, and the theme of saying goodbye – with its heady mix of pain, confusion and eventual resolution – remains a rich subject for this suite of robust, endlessly melodic pop songs. Moyka is a contradiction: a private person who writes confessional music. For anyone who wants to know who she is, it’s all there in the songs – mysterious, magical, but accessible too. “I want to create a mystical universe,” she reaffirms, “where people can feel at home.”
