The brainchild of Nils Brakchi, Mofosteel uses a wide range of influences from classic motown and gangsta hip hop, to british new wave, country and even gospel to create a skilfully crafted collection of pop songs. Brakchi, accompanied by a group of very diverse musicians, utilises this varied influences to tell his listener a story in a manner that tugs at your heartstrings while simultaneously suggesting a dance.
Created soon after his departure from danish grammy nominee - Fielfraz in 2004, Brakchi, keen to continue the success he had sampled as a bass player with the band, set out to begin a musical career, as a soloist. Interestingly, solo songwriting had never before been his focus, and the resulting album is an eclectic, mismatch of genre that blends together and provides the listener with a new sultry pop sound.
The self titled debut album is a collection of songs that invite the audience to pine for secret loves, reminisce on lost loves and serenades the listener with velvet storytelling over a soothing soundtrack. As a vocalist, Brakchi’s dark voice lends a certain depth to the songs; sometimes playful, sometimes plaintive but always smooth, Mofosteel is easy to listen to and even easier to become addicted to.
Using his skills and experiences from his dayjob as a painter/graphic artist Brakchi has started producing and directing videos for several Mofosteel tracks. These can be viewed on myspace..
Mofosteel performs regularly in and around Copenhagen, to the delight of an ever growing fanbase. This combined with a handful of mini tours in the surrounding areas has resulted in 2007 being a good year for Mofosteel, with each performance strengthening his reputation as an entertaining live act and expanding his audience.

Tak for tilføjelsen. Kan rigtig godt lide din stil - og især din leg med ord. Derfor tusind tak for at give mulighed for at læse din lyrik. Det betyder vist noget for enhver sangskriver ;) Når jeg hører dig synge tænker jeg skiftevis på Leonard Cohen, David Bowie og Lars H.U.G. Håber du tager det som en kompliment :)
Hej Mofosteel! Super fedt, personligt og interessant. Bowie må være glad (det er et kompliment. Mange Hilsner Michael Her er et lille satirisk countrynummer, jeg har fået animeret:
Hey Nils Tusind tak for add'en... Det kommer lidt bag på mig egentlig - jeg er old time hard core Fielfraz-fan, så i min spinkle kalender er idag en stor dag:-) Håber du får tid til at tjekke mine sange ud... Fedt at se at du stadig holder den musikalske skrue i vandet!!
Tak for req. Det er mig en fornøjelse at byde velkommen til venskab i cyberspace. Så snart jeg havde hørt en snert af din musik, måtte jeg igennem alle 4 numre. Det er noget af det fedeste jeg har hørt i meget lang tid. Jeg må straks ha fat i det. Kan det købes ober jeres hjemmeside? Jeg fatter ikke hvordan det indtil nu kan ha forbigået min opmærksomhed. Men nu er jeg på!
