Aotearoa’s lover boy MOHI hangs up his dancing shoes and bares his soul in his latest track, "Flowers in Hendo." This deeply personal track marks a significant shift in both sound and storytelling for MOHI, a raw, heartfelt letter to the artist’s younger self, capturing some of the raw truths of growing up in Hendo.
"Flowers in Hendo" blends hip-hop, R&B, and local influences to create a fresh, evolving sound that represents MOHI’s growth as an artist. The title is a metaphor for the tales of growing up in Hendo, the many loved ones in his upbringing, those that grew from struggle, those that are no longer with us and those that live on through us.
MOHI explains, “This song is really personal for me, it’s the song that sparked this whole new project. Writing this song was the hardest and most confronting piece of music I’ve ever written, but what has come from this process has been so beautiful and healing in so many ways for me. ”
“Flowers In Hendo” is the first of a 5 track EP set to be released on NZ Music Month this May. Listeners should prepare to be reintroduced to MOHI, as this new project is set to be the most raw and real look into the artist.
MOHI says, “This song is a tribute to all of my mates, my loved ones, those that have passed on and those that live on today. Flowers In Hendo is a real look into Mohi the person, Mohi the West Auckland native, my past and what drives me to create music today.”
"Flowers in Hendo" is now available on all major streaming platforms.
