Please list all of your band members and their roles in the band.

Frank Moyo is a solo artist. Live shows are played with David Lucchese on drums and Daniel Mitri on Bass

For starters, what bands were you guys a part of prior to Frank Moyo? How long has the band been around? 

We were all part of a band prior to Frank Moyo. We were called The Tudors and played shows across downtown Toronto.

What’s the origin of that name and have you changed the band’s name before?

Frank Moyo. Moyo in swahili means heart and soul, so it kind of spoke out to me in that sense. My actual last name is Muoio, pronounced “Moyo” so it works out well.

Who writes your songs? What are the main themes or topics for most of your songs and do you think these topics will change over time?

All my music is original and written by myself. The main topics throughout my music usually tend to gravitate towards, loneliness and discomfort. Themes that people do not tend to want to talk about usually. I also write a lot of love songs and songs that have happier subject matter. I think everything changes with time. My perspectives and thoughts are ever changing. my beliefs and motives are always changing as is my songwriting.

What bands are currently inspiring the music that you’re making?

Currently I am listening to a lot of new music. Bands like Glass Animals, Half Moon Run, Daughter, as well as Caribou have been on repeat the past couple of months.

Was there a particular band/artist or concert that inspired you to start a band? 

I saw Coldplay live for the first time on their Viva La Vida tour, and Elbow opened up for them. They both had a huge role in inspiring me to start up a band. Other bands like Mutemath, The Mars Volta and Bon Iver’s live shows inspired me as well.

What do you do to prepare for a show? Any flexing, exercises, ect …

 I do some vocal exercises and have a shot of grappa.

What has been the biggest highlight of the band’s career so far? 

The band played a sold out show at the El Mocambo as an EP release party. We packed it up with about 300 people, it was defiantly one of the greatest shows we played as a band.

If you could tour with any bands, past or present, who would they be and why? 

I would love to have toured with Johnny Cash or even Queen. I still have a goal of opening for Coldplay one day. When that day comes I will be completely satisfied.

Is there anything else you would like to add?
