10 Questions: Mosie
After seeing them live on Cherub’s “Free Form” tour, I knew I wanted to know more about the eccentric duo that is Mosie. The group is made up of Jesse Levines and Aidan Brody, whose vocals and beats have set them apart as a one-of-a-kind must-see act.
Mosie’s unique style and catchy bumps caught my attention from the very beginning, and for the rest of the week I found myself shuffling through their music on Spotify. I kept finding myself replaying their songs, “Three-Prong Sing-Along” and “Gingerbread” and I still can’t get them out of my head.
Mosie’s energy is hard beat. I had the pleasure of conversing with the charming duo and got to ask them about the origin of Mosie, life on tour, and their journey so far as musicians in this edition of CMN’s 10 Questions.
CS: Where does the name Mosie come from? Is there a story behind it?
