Niko Moon has really clear memories. Music, cars, school. How much his parents loved each other, created a place where life was an adventure and what you had was all you needed.Tragedy collided with magic. With an engagement imploding in the most high-impact way see the sinewy DRUNK OVER YOU Moon sought higher ground. Young, talented and good-looking, it was easy to shut off, shutdown and remain aloof. But that's when he met Anna, who Facebook friended him after a photographer she was thinking of using showed her Moons picture in his photo portfolio. I was playing Atlanta, so I invited her to the show, the reformed player remembers. She came, and was so beautiful. I thought we were gonna hang out, but she stayed two minutes, told me she liked the show and left. A proper date, a real conversation and the news that she, too, was a songwriter intrigued him. Unaware that shed already appeared in Italian Vogue, he asked her to play a song. He was stunned. She didn't know how good she was.I got a tattoo that says, This, too, shall pass. Me and my dad both did, because he used to tell me that, and its true. If you can find ways to remember, to hold on to the feelings and everything in that moment, that's the deal. Its so simple: I'm the first person to tell you I'm just trying to make people happy. Life is so short; you're here, and then you're gone. I want to enjoy every moment and if (the songs) are the best thing we can give people, do for each other, then I'm all about it. So much so, that Moon holed up at home and started playing around with sounds, rhythms, grooves and Miss Anna Moon. Between them, they crafted 14 songs that distill the essence of who they are, how they were raised, where they grew up and the things that matter. Laughing, he says, Finding Anna was really finding myself. We both exist in this music, in these songs and in this life, what makes you happy is love, whether Anna or your friends, your family and the way you choose to see the world. These songs, I hope, create a space to pick the beauty in a bad day... and make you bob your head a little. Moons latest effort, COASTIN, is available now.
