Commanding the global stage with vigour, humour and his illuminating personality, Mochakk is laying down the foundations for an enduring legacy.

In recent months he headlined his own Cercle Music show, their largest capacity to date with 4,500 tickets selling out in just under 3 hours, along with memorable shows at Coachella, Printworks, Sonar and more.
