Moody Bank$ is a Los Angeles-born, Austin-based artist making music for your feelings. Identified by her smokey alto sound and lo-fi R&B production, she creates a sonic world to fit any mood. More than that, she is an ever-evolving powerful woman unafraid to cross boundaries and break barriers. Moody leads by example in standing out against following others, and is firm in creating a lane for herself and staying genuine to her gifts.
Growing up in LA, Moody adopted a classic “west coast” sound marked by funky basslines, 808s, and classic R&B samples. That influence mixed with her time in Austin has made for an enriched sound deepened by live instrumentation and more intricate musicality. If the sweet melodies don’t get you hooked, then her confident use of wordplay and poetic songwriting will.
As a featured SXSW artist in both 2022 and 2023, Moody Bank$ is one of Austin's most promising upcoming artists. Her debut LP Feeling Colors (released Sept. 2022) has received support from The Austin Chronicle, REDx Magazine, Hip Hop Weekly, and others.
The bold young songwriter has also had performances on NPR’s Live Sessions (98.9 KUTX Summer Jam), Sofar Sounds, Kweli’s showcase.
