Welcome to MOWI, the home of Mowi — an independent music project focused primarily on original songs exploring alternative rock, dark atmospheres, indie textures and cinematic emotion.
Here you’ll find mostly original music, along with occasional collaborations and selected covers when a song deserves a new voice. The sound blends spacious guitars with delay and reverb, deep bass lines, hypnotic drums, immersive synths and expressive baritone male vocals, moving between dark and moody rock, emotional indie, acoustic and experimental moments.

A small glimpse of what’s coming…
This Wednesday I’ll be releasing “My Religion Is INTERNET”, a new collaboration with Red Star — and one of the core tracks of my upcoming second album.
It’s a modern indie‑grunge reflection on the absurd digital life we all live, with a touch of irony, distortion, and a quiet echo of the Tao Te Ching.
Thank you for walking this path with me.
More music soon.

I’m in a different phase of my life. I’ve fallen in love with the concept and culture of minimalism, especially the Japanese approach. I’ve been trying for years, but now I’m taking it seriously. I’m making a big effort to distance myself from this consumerist lifestyle and to stop accumulating things. Basically: few items, and everything in its place.
And you might wonder… why am I telling you all this. Well, first, talking only about music bores me, and you know I took a break from YouTube. Even though I’ve uploaded a couple of weekend videos, I haven’t really come back yet — they were things I had already recorded. But even in music I’ve become minimalist, and I’m trying to mentally disconnect from all the music and videos I’ve created and uploaded over the years.
Many days I want to go back to uploading three songs a week, replying to all your wonderful comments, and visiting your channels… but right now, it just doesn’t come out of me. I think that once I organize things — or rather, once I leave the disorder behind — I’ll be back with you. Until then, forgive me if I’m not very active.
Three examples: for eating, I have four bowls, just one set of cutlery, chopsticks, and a single glass — I donated the rest. As for clothes, I kept four T‑shirts, a couple of shirts, a couple of jackets, one pair of dress shoes and one pair of sneakers. Five bags of clothes donated for whoever needs them. No more books, CDs, or random items around the house — everything given to charity.
Basically, when something comes in, something else goes out, but only what’s necessary (danshari). And ma, the empty space that gives meaning to what exists. Don’t think I’ve gone crazy — I’m just trying to improve my life. Less is more!!

Well friends, I want to share what I’ve decided to do with my music.
This break from YouTube has really cleared my mind, and now I can see much more clearly how I want to use my time. I’m no longer a 20‑year‑old kid, and I’m looking for different things in my musical life.
You’ve seen – and endured – many versions of MOWI: from the purest acoustic sound to the darkest one, passing through pop, EDM and alternative rock… thank you all so much. Talking with you has been the only thing I’ve truly missed during this time away.
But musically, there’s something I’ve been missing even more: what I’ve been doing since I was 12 years old – studying music and diving deep into learning methods. Since October 2021, when I uploaded my first song, I haven’t really done that. Now I’m going back to finding time where there is none, to improve as a bass player, something I’ve neglected with all these YouTube productions.
My musical life has always been spent between rehearsal rooms and stages – and luckily, many of them. Recordings too. And since I decided I no longer wanted to carry drum kits around and give everything on stage, I’ve been learning a thousand ways to record my music and my covers, especially since opening my YouTube channel. My channel shows 770 videos (ufffff), plus many more set to private, and today 1,442 incredible and fantastic subscribers. Not huge numbers, but for me it’s been wonderful. Personally, I think I deserved more from YouTube, but I know many of us feel the same.
This is NOT a goodbye, because I’ll keep uploading songs – probably once a week – especially an acoustic project that will end up becoming an album in about a month. But I can’t stay as active as before, because I need to go back to studying music, and I’m not someone who plays for just an hour and calls it a day.
Your José Mowi
