Moses and Ludwig's love for writing and performance has pushed boundaries beyond their wildest imaginations.

Moses Mackay
Moses Mackay is a classically-trained opera singer, composer and recording artist, and has appeared on stages all over the world. In February of 2022, Moses and Ludwig were invited to perform at the World Trade Expo in Dubai, where they received multiple standing ovations for their classical- and film-inspired new compositions. Moses also performed as a soloist at the Expo. He then flew to Los Angeles for a 3-month intensive, where he composed and recorded his first solo original album, of cinematic and classically influenced soul music. The album was mixed and mastered by Nick Patrick and Peter Schwier (producers of Andrea Bocelli, Aretha Franklin) and is set to be released at the beginning of 2023.

Moses is a member of world-renowned trio SOL3 MIO. Some of his pieces premiered at Spark Arena with orchestra and choir in October (SOL3 MIO homecoming tour 2022).

A master's graduate of the Wales International Academy of Voice, Moses has performed at some of the world’s greatest music venues before such dignitaries as the President of China and Her Majesty, the late Queen of England. A diverse performer, Moses has sung operatic roles for NZ Opera and Festival Opera and has appeared as an oratorio soloist, including performances of Handel’s Messiah and Fauré’s Requiem.
