Moon Kissed

emily, khaya, and leah met at a new year’s party on the lower east side in new york city. their debut album, aptly named ‘i met my band at a new year’s party’, draws upon themes of youth, heartbreak, and the quiet power behind vulnerability. it features infectious hooks, virtuosic synth lines, and unique drum melodies. the producer, khaya, takes inspiration from acts like Chairlift, Charlie XCX, Grimes, and St. Vincent; and feels a deep connection to the soundscape she’s created for each of the songs.

this band is sheer, unadulterated energy. the connection between them is undeniable, and actually palpable in the air when they perform. since meeting on new year’s of 2019, they have played countless sweaty, intense shows all around Brooklyn, Manhattan, the east coast, and were touring in the south on the way to SXSW when the pandemic hit. the purpose of their shows is to create a moment, to hone the magic that happens between audience and performer when music is going on. it is cathartic, exhilarating, and intimate. plus, leah falls in love with someone in the audience at every show, which adds an element of surprise.
