As well as recording and performing his own constantly evolving music, MR. M to the O is an in-demand producer and songwriter. He co-wrote and co-produced "Multiply" and "Jim" by JAMIE LIDELL, co-wrote the song " So Sorry" by FEIST and co-produced her 4- time grammy nominated album "The Reminder", co -wrote " Without Love " by NIKKA COSTA and many more. He has worked with artists as diverse as BECK, JANE BIRKIN, THE GZA, and ALEJANDRO JODOROWSKY.
This year Mocky has been busy with the release his new solo album "Saskamodie" (Crammed Discs), and playing live with "The Saskamodie Orchestra".
The album was co-produced by Renaud Letang in Paris' famed Ferber Studios (Nina Simone Serge Gainsbourg and others have recorded there). This gives the album a unique quality that blends a classic feel with a modern sound. Mocky signed the album with the legendary Crammed Discs from Belgium (Bebel Gilberto, Konono Number 1, Balkan Beatbox ).
On "Saskamodie" Mocky is listed as playing drums, bass, rhodes, piano, guitar, percussion, bells, recorder, vocals, whistle, organ and toys as well as writing string arrangements. Taylor Savvy, Gonzales, Jamie Lidell & Feist contribute additional instrumental and backing vocal performances that make this record sound more like a live performance than a studio creation.

Mocky when you remember to visit south america ... or Chile? Come to Chile, I'll wait here at the end of the world ... is not such a distant place for someone who has travelled so much like you.
Heya! Will there be any club gigs any time soon? Like in Cologne, London, Berlin for example? 40 Euros for going to a jazz festival just to see Mocky - no offense jazz - is a bit much for the average Mocky fan :( Muchas G, Rob
