Mokai is a roots musician based in San Francisco. His guitar echoes pre-war blues and Greenwich Village era folk, with songs the East Bay Express described as “…jazzy, jammy, bluesy structures around earthly laments, tales of ordinary folks, and the human struggle in general.” Known for thoughtful lyrics and heartfelt vibes, Mokai brings solid original songwriting accompanied by deft guitar work and relaxed vocals.
After spending his youth as an environmental activist, Mokai came down from his tree and began writing unforgettable songs that find their way into your heart. Mokai (rhymes with woke-eye) has taken root in the Northern California music community as a performer at house concerts, clubs and music festivals. His third full-length album of original songs “The Jaybird Said” released in 2019 is heard on KPFA, KVMR, KALW, KZYX, KMUD and other N CA listener radio stations.
