You’ve

Moxiie
I
t was a fall afternoon; not too cold, not too
warm, with sunny skies. Like most people
would agree, it’s a good time to use the great
weather as some healthy motivation. For
upcoming artist Moxiie, it was a good time to go for a
walk. While Moxiie enjoys staying active, another major
form of motivation for her is, unsurprisingly, music.
Alongside rap and reggae artists, she said, “I’ve been
listening to a lot of Lauryn Hill lately…I’m sad I didn’t
get to one of her shows!” I replied that it wasn’t a goal
that was out of reach. She agreed.

Moxiie released her debut EP Jungle Pop in 2011,
which contained elements of R&B, Caribbean sound,
and electronic pop. In tracks like “Animal,” you can
hear the delicate, yet strong elements in her voice, and
in the bridge, her Haitian upbringing is spotlighted in
the song’s instrumentals. In 2012, she released her first
album Savage, which she co-produced alongside various
producers like Peter Wade (“Babygirl” by Charli XCX
& Uffie and “Feed Me Diamonds” by MNDR), Fredro
(Alessia Cara), and REO, to further push the “jungle-
pop” sound she was creating.
