WHAT IT IS: Born and raised in Sweden, Andreas Moss barely had a chance to choose music; rather, he inherited the family business. His parents, like theirs before them, were travelling musicians. Barely into his teens, Moss became a multi-faceted collaborator—a Swiss Army man of many talents, ghostwriting and directing music videos and short films for a growing community of artists. It’s Moss’ solo outings, however, that really channel the extremes of his homeland. The 28-year-old’s hook-heavy pop reveals a muse borne from a certain darkness. These aren’t breakup songs about the one that got away; they’re defiant farewells to the devil on your shoulder.
