Mugs, a Westchester, NY native, candidly shares his musical journey, rooted in the suburban outskirts of NYC. Planning a move to the city this year, Mugs’ story unfolds as a genuine exploration of his connection to music.
High school marked the genesis of his musical venture, offering solace during tough times. Describing an almost indescribable feeling when immersed in a project, Mugs sees music not merely as a pastime but a vital outlet. His influences span a diverse spectrum, from John Mayer and EDM artists in his early days to later embracing rap and R&B during college.
Family holds a significant place in Mugs’ narrative, with a special nod to his brother’s collaborative role in producing his latest EP. College proved pivotal, with supportive roommates fostering confidence in his singing abilities. Reflecting on those days of experimenting with beats and lyrics, Mugs values those formative experiences that shaped him as an artist.
The culmination of his journey manifests in the latest EP, a labor of love taking a year and a half to craft. Crafted in both his brother’s Brooklyn studio and his own space, the EP aims to be a companion in the everyday moments – from walking the dog to commuting. Mugs envisions his music adding a touch of lightness to the routine, making life feel a bit less serious during those ordinary yet meaningful instances.
In essence, Mugs emerges not just as an artist but as a storyteller, weaving his experiences into a tapestry of sound that resonates with authenticity and relatability, offering a glimpse into the genuine, everyday moments that shape his musical expression.
