about

"With his ten-track album ‘Ruminations and Adaptations’, we are witnessing a confident artistic mastermind on top of his game, as he expands your mind with a superb vocal and lyrical performance of the highest order. This is a terrifically unique artist we need to admire for his out-the-box thinking."
- A&R Factory

"He's keenly experimental, unafraid to go above and beyond boundaries of the genre to create the perfect mood for each track."
"The ability to shift so seamlessly is what makes Ruminations & Adaptations a unique record to explore."
"Boasting an intelligence for artistry, song-writing, and composition on par with a Justin Vernon esque figure, I simply can't wait to hear more from this truly eclectic, eccentric, and exciting star."
- Find No Enemy

"Mosa is an act that throws genre on the bonfire and grows something completely new from the ashes. Ruminations & Adaptations is perhaps the most creative and unexpected album I’ve heard for a long time. I can’t recommend it enough."
- York Calling

"His blend of sometimes semi-jarring electronics with an often faultless vocal performance whip up brilliant tracks.
"It jars, captivates, and evolves in a way that can only intrigue."
"Each part of this jigsaw has been very deliberately put in place to create a uniquely enjoyable listening experience."
- RGM

"Mosa manages to make this soundscape entirely his own."
- Sinusoidal Music

"Mosa's voice comes out of the bowels through each verse, and the musicality of a truly ethereal tone, with an emphasis on minimalist details and sound elements ranging from electronics to alternative-rock, it ends up serving as a total compliment to the stories that are told."
"All these purged expressions are accompanied by excellent instrumentation, subliminally contributing to the birth of one of the year's greatest releases!"
- Roadie Music

"A sexy and mysterious sound capable of creating twilight atmospheres that can make you travel with your imagination."
- Edgar Allan Poets
