moodus is my personal brand, that incorporates every creative aspect of the digital era we're living in: be it producing music, directing music videos, designing the artwork and merchandise or rolling out the accompanying social media campaigns.

moodus is the counterpart of all the alpha male stereotypes out there. An artist who proudly flaunts his vulnerability: as his shell, his armor, his weapon.

moodus' music is like a road trip through our incredibly complicated world. A world in which we have to reevaluate what actually defines todays manhood.

moodus' sound is a blueprint for modern men. Men whom he helps to regain their strength by mirroring their concerns: their fears, their doubts, their insecurities.

moodus is an ally for women. Women whose femininity he celebrates with the utmost fascination and reverence throughout his songs.

Moodus' art is based on one simple, yet defining question: If all these enforced values disappear, what will be left of my masculinity?

moodus' artistic profile is based on progressive urban artists from the US. Not only in subject matter and production standards, but also in sound.

A distinctive sound that – paired with sophisticated songwriting – is characterized by compelling bridges and catchy hooks.

The narrative of every song is closely linked to moodus' brand story. A deliberate choice that ensures a continuous journey for the listeners.

As a musician I pursue a bilingual approach by writing songs in german and english.

Furthermore I work as a ghostwriter for other artists. Such as the female rapper “Adden“, who is known for her rough attitude, unique interpretation of feminism and passionate support of the LGBTQ community.

Over the years I've released various singles, EPs or albums over my own imprint "Locke & Bart Music". Feel free to take a listen across all major streaming platforms by clicking on the links below.

Through writing and directing music videos I had the honor to work with AKITA Productions, whose résumé list some big names like the german rap supergroup "187 Straßenbande". Check out "Locke & Bart Music" on YouTube to get a first glimpse.

Every time I get the chance to perform live, I feel nothing but joy. All the effort and preparation finally come to fruition when I am on stage.

While performing, being real about my emotions is very important to me. Experiencing excitement and fear of failure in front of a live audience is absolutely human.

And since I am the type of person that thrives under pressure, I absolutely love to put myself in such situations.

Merchandise

There are so many options to translate my musical creativity into merchandise. Immortalizing song titles on high quality sweaters is just one of them.
