Today we’d like to introduce you to MoeBank888.
Hi MoeBank888, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I was born in Medellín, Colombia, and grew up between cultures, with my formative years spent in Gwinnett County, just outside of Atlanta. Being raised in that environment meant being closely connected to the cultural energy of Atlanta, which played a significant role in shaping my musical perspective early on. The city’s influence—its sound, ambition, and work ethic—left a lasting impression on how I view creativity and purpose.
Although I was drawn to music from a very young age, a large part of my early life was dedicated to football. That experience taught me structure, resilience, and long-term focus. Football demanded consistency, discipline, and commitment, and those lessons stayed with me even during the years when music wasn’t my primary focus.
After graduating high school, I felt drawn back to music—not as a new interest, but as a return to something that had always been part of me. As I began pursuing music seriously, that path led me into cultural projects with organizations such as Univision and Mundo Hispánico, particularly around Hispanic Heritage Month. Through that work, our projects went on to receive multiple Emmy Awards, which helped shape my understanding of music and storytelling as tools for cultural perspective and impact.
At the same time, I made a conscious decision to deepen my technical foundation. I studied at the Atlanta Institute of Music and Media, where I focused on production and engineering. I wanted a direct, hands-on route—learning how music is built from the ground up and developing those skills alongside my artistry.
Living abroad later on, including time spent in Spain, further expanded my perspective creatively and personally. Those experiences reinforced what music ultimately represents for me: a way of expressing who I am and the experiences I’ve lived, merging the cultures that have influenced me and bringing them together through sound and lyrics. My goal is to offer perspective through the music, while still creating something people can genuinely enjoy and connect with.
Today, everything I release reflects years of growth, intention, and consistency. I approach music with the same mindset I learned through athletics—focused, patient, and committed to the long term. Rather than chasing trends, I’m focused on building a body of work and a legacy that can stand on its own over time.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The journey has come with constant swings—periods of self-doubt followed by moments where everything feels aligned and unstoppable. Learning how to move through those extremes without letting either one define me has been one of the biggest challenges.
There have also been very real, practical obstacles. Figuring out how to fund projects, balancing multiple jobs at different points, and protecting the creative process without losing myself in the pressure has been a constant balancing act. Staying grounded while continuing to push forward creatively isn’t something you solve once—it’s something you learn to manage over time.
What has always pulled me through is the feeling that comes from completing a project or creating something meaningful and seeing people genuinely connect with it. That connection makes the struggle worth it and brings me back to why I started in the first place.
At a deeper level, there’s a larger purpose that keeps me moving forward. Music helped me through certain moments in my own life, and being able to offer that same sense of perspective or relief to others gives the work meaning beyond myself. That purpose is what keeps me going, even when the road gets difficult.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
My work is centered on the human experience in all its layers—from spiritual reflection to everyday struggles, relationships, and personal growth. It isn’t one-dimensional. The music is a way of processing life as it happens and continuing to move forward through it, turning those moments into something people can feel and recognize in their own lives.
I’m involved in every stage of the creative process, particularly writing, production, and engineering, which allows me to shape projects with intention from the initial idea through the final sound. I place as much importance on how something is built as on how it’s expressed, because the foundation of the work is what gives it longevity.
Alongside my own artistry, I’ve engineered projects for other artists and taken on creative direction for select projects, especially on the visual side. That work has taken place across different environments, including Atlanta and Spain, and has helped sharpen my ability to adapt while maintaining a consistent creative standard.
A major part of my creative evolution has also come through collaboration. Working closely with Hitplay888 has been especially formative, allowing ideas to develop organically through shared vision, experimentation, and trust. That creative relationship has pushed both of us to refine our approach and challenge boundaries, shaping the direction of the work in a meaningful way.
My focus as an artist is building music that reflects lived experience. The sound is shaped by the phases of life I’ve moved through, and the goal is to offer perspective without losing the sense of enjoyment and connection that draws people to music in the first place.
I’m most proud of remaining independent while continuing to evolve. Developing technical skills alongside artistry has given me control over the creative process and the freedom to move with intention rather than urgency. That approach comes together most clearly in my recent project, 888 THE REVOLUTION, which reflects a focused and evolving phase of my creative path.
What sets me apart is consistency and intention. I approach creativity as a long-term process, treating each project as part of a larger body of work rather than a standalone moment. The goal isn’t just to release music, but to continue growing and creating work that resonates over time.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
I’d encourage anyone starting out to spend real time reflecting on their purpose beyond the music itself. Your reasons for creating will change over time, and that’s normal. What matters is whether there’s a deeper calling underneath it—something aligned with who you are, not just what you want to achieve. For me, it’s become an identity more than a goal.
This path isn’t for the weak. There will be obstacles, self-doubt, and long stretches where progress isn’t obvious. Pushing through those moments is important, but so is constantly asking yourself why you’re doing it. That reflection keeps the work honest and helps you avoid losing yourself in the process.
I still feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of what I have to offer, but each year brings a more evolved version of myself and my work. Growth comes through patience, awareness, and the willingness to keep showing up even when the outcome isn’t clear.
Anyone considering this path should really weigh how much it means to them. This work asks for time, sacrifice, and belief before it gives anything back. The reasons you start won’t be the same reasons you continue—and understanding that early can make the difference between staying grounded and burning out.
