Raised in Nashville, Carter was classically trained in piano in his youth and first started performing in his church. Later, he taught himself to play guitar and eventually transitioned into electronic music production. In 2015, working under the stage name Mokita, he began releasing tracks online including "Monopoly" and "Dreamer," featuring Kaptan. Over the next few years, he delivered a barrage of singles including "Heaven," "Goodbye" featuring Maty Noyes, and the Chuck Adams and Goldhouse collaboration "Take Me as I Am." Songs like 2018's "With You" and "London" began to put up big numbers on the streaming networks, but it was Mokita's heartfelt 2019 track "Colorblind" that attained viral success.
Heading into the next decade, he built on his momentum with additional Goldhouse collaborations, "I Don't Wanna Know" and "Washout," and popular solo singles like the piano ballad "Down" and the soulful "Would You Still Want Me?" October 2022 brought Mokita's Color Me In EP which collated several of that year's most popular singles including "Room for Another" and "Crash" featuring Charlotte Sands. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
