HUG MOSH

Ottawa, ON

Somewhere between the quick ecstasy of fresh gum and the lasting anxiety of an overstimulated panic attack lives Ottawa's resident hyper-hop artist HUG MOSH. This producer, vocalist, and DJ blends sugary synths and frenetic drum patterns with dense and introspective lyrics, forming a shiny and somber brand of modern queer pop music.
