Moon King
For those who enjoy the combination of dream pop with indie rock and house music, the Canadian band Moon King is coming to Kyiv to perform some of its hits on May 3. Moon King is a music project founded by Toronto-born songwriter and producer Daniel Woodhead, widely known as Daniel Benjamin. Since its establishment in 2012, Moon King has released a full-length album “Secret Life” in 2015, as well as three EPs. However, after Woodhead’s moving to Detroit, the United States, Moon King’s music has undergone some changes, adding some disco music and synthpop sounds.
