MOBLEY
Finding pure, multifaceted talent is comparable to finding gold. A struggle. With all of the technology and softwares available in today’s world, rare is the discovery of an artist who is actually a triple threat; encompassing skills in performance, talent, and vision. Lucky for you - we already found the artist. Put your mining tools away, and be prepared to get decked out by the gold brought by Mobley.
Let’s travel back some years and zoom in on his hometown. Here we find Mobley, an insanely talented individual living his life and experiencing his initial introduction to his artistic gifts. Naturally being drawn to music, and discovering the wide range of talent he holds, he became skilled in a variety of instruments, inclusive of a fluent understanding of guitar, drums, piano, bass….should I keep going? Cause I actually can, if needed.
Naturally, as most do, he created a band with fellow friends. And while he had a lot of fun with it, it won’t be a surprise to anyone that Mobley decided to step away from the band, and go solo. What might be a surprise to everyone, is the reason for it. While having friends/bandmates on stage can create fun energy, it can also create a variety of variables. And the truth is, Mobley is insanely gifted with (keyword) PERFORMANCE. He knew he could rule the stage, not only with his talent, but with his ability to visualize and create a phenomenal show.
To ensure he was on the up and up, he chose to go to college and study film. Obviously - he was extraordinary in this realm; and smartly chose to combine his two loves, music and film. In respecting the art of both, he single-handedly created wildly unique live shows. He owned this so well, that he actually became known for having amazing visuals, and creating an experience that’s both engaging + captivating.
However, like many others across the world, Mobley found himself greatly affected by COVID-19. Just as he was about to reveal himself to a plethora of souls (who likely need to hear and see what he’s capable of, for their own sake), he found his performance at SOUTH by SOUTHWEST canceled. SOUTH by SOUTHWEST is a week and a half long festival, where all the major players in entertainment are at the same place at the same time. Talk about opportunity. In fact, like Mobley, many artists looked forward to this event, not only for the exposure it brings, but for the high paying gigs that come as a result. And in one day, it was taken away.
It was a bit shattering for Mobley, considering (like many other artists), this festival being canceled stripped almost 60% of his 2020 income. But unfortunately, that wasn’t all. His entire Spring tour was cancelled, and his album release was put on hold. The detrimental affects this can have on a person’s incoming finances is larger than one would assume. Fortunately for Mobley, and many other artists, many people stepped forward to create and host fundraisers, and other types of assistance, for artists who had lost their expected income from the festival, and cancelled tour dates.
Being the visionary that he is, Mobley has adapted and learning/discovering a variety of ways to connect with fans through streaming services. In fact, what an optimal time to really flex his film talents. The truth is, we all need the artistic inspiration Mobley brings. So pull up a chair, jump on one of his streaming shows, and dive deep into the creative and artistic talents of Mobley.
