Nashville singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Mokita has recently released dropped new single, Down. Unrelentingly honest and deeply personal, Mokita approaches songwriting as a confessional form of expression, often tackling the sincerest of subjects with thoughtful clarity.
His latest instalment is a love letter to anyone who is struggling right now. Beginning with a somber piano introduction, Down surges into a meditative, downtempo pop number that’s guided by poignant yet hopeful lyricism.
“I’ve had some really rough seasons in my life where my depression was just so bad and I didn’t feel like I was ever going climb out of it, but through those times, I’ve had some close friends who have walked with me through those seasons; who have encouraged me and just been present,”
“I think the theme of this song was really just a letter to those friends who are going through those things, and to anyone who is having a hard time. Everybody needs a friend to walk with them through the hard seasons and sometimes just being present, being available to listen, and being faithful, is the best way to love someone through those times.”

Mokita’s knack for songwriting and producing has led to collaborations with noteworthy artists like Ella Vos, R3HAB, Lost Frequencies, and Gavin Haley, as well as remixes for Maggie Rogers, Betty Who, and Daya. His debut EP, 4201, came in 2019 and he has continued to roll out a string of standout singles over the course of year. With over 200 million combined streams and praise from the likes of Billboard, Wonderland Magazine, and Ones To Watch, Mokita is certainly an act to keep an eye on.
