Every musician shares a common dream; to cloister oneself away, surrounded by instruments and recording equipment and to live life completely immersed in the creative process. Prince Albert artist Patrick Moon Bird has embraced that dream, spending much of the last four years writing, recording and releasing six full length albums and countless singles. Bird began as a Lo-Fi hip hop producer and still has roots in the genre, but the multi instrumental artist has expanded and grown to develop a sparse, dreamy style all his own, showcased most recently on the full length album Away From The City released last June. Aside from the occasional collaboration, Bird writes, performs, produces, distributes and promotes all of his prolific output, putting up streaming numbers that dwarf the reach of most indie artists. For his amazing body of quality work and for consistently making the impossible look effortless, we’re proud to recognize Patrick Moon Bird as NSMZ’s Electronic Artist of the Year.
Away From The City is available on all streaming services.
It is incredible to see Patrick Moon Bird recognized as the 2023 NSMZ Electronic Artist of the Year. His journey from a self-taught lo-fi producer to such a prolific multi-instrumentalist is truly inspiring. The sheer volume of high-quality music he consistently releases while managing his own production and promotion is staggering. It reminds me of the precision required in modern electronics—like ensuring perfect BGA assembly for high-performance hardware. Just as that level of detail is vital for a reliable circuit, Bird’s meticulous attention to his dreamy, sparse soundscapes is exactly what makes his work stand out so brilliantly. Well-deserved recognition!
