MoonchildMoonchild is the genre-defying trio that has carved their own worldwide lane in the world of alternative R&B and neo-soul. Comprised of multi-instrumentalists Amber Navran, Max Bryk, and Andris Mattson, the Los Angeles-based band blends velvety vocals, intricate horn arrangements, jazz-rooted harmony, and forward-thinking production into a signature sound.
In 2023, Moonchild received a Grammy nomination for their album Starfruit (Progressive R&B Album of the Year), a richly layered project recorded largely during the pandemic. Starfruit was a creative leap, featuring an expanded cast of guest artists and a bold, colorful sound.
By then, Moonchild had already earned a reputation as a live powerhouse, with performances on NPR’s Tiny Desk, and sold-out tours across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia. Their Tiny Desk Concert, which showcased an acoustic version of their sound that highlighted their technical prowess, became a milestone for the group.
The band’s previous album, Little Ghost (2019), reached No. 6 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart, and received the Jazz FM Soul Act of the Year award the same year. Little Ghost marked a turning point in the band’s sonic maturity, balancing intricate arrangements with more intimate, emotionally direct songwriting.
In 2017, they released Voyager, a standout album that charted at No. 13 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart and was named one of Bandcamp’s Top 100 Albums of 2017.
