“Levitating” by Dua Lipa…
“Good 4 U” by Olivia Rodrigo…
And “Butter” by BTS.
What do all of these songs have in common?
The answer? They’ve all become chart-topping hits across the world.
As a self-professed music lover and musician, Mo Baighas studied and listened to all of these songs with one goal in mind: to make his first-ever album hit the charts.
In order to do that, the 20-year-old singer-songwriter gives us hints as to what his first album will be like:
1. It will narrate the story of Mo’s life.
Every great album starts with the story of the musician’s life, and Mo intends to do the same.
“I want to introduce myself through my music,” says Mo. “And there’s no better way to do that than to dedicate my first album to my life’s work.”
To give you a glimpse of his life: Mo was born and raised in New York City. He grew up admiring Broadway, and his greatest goal is to take full control of his life.
2. It cannot be bound by one music genre.
As a true member of the Generation Z, Mo Baig vows to create an album that reflects his diverse music taste. This means that his album will consist of songs from genres including Pop, Hip hop, and R&B.
“My first album is going to showcase the music choices of my generation,” Mo says. “I have chosen not to limit myself to any music genre. I don’t want to be known as a rockstar, popstar, or soul musician. I want to be known as me.”
3. It will definitely rock.
Mo’s first album has been three years in the making. Before even reaching the age of 18, Mo already started planning for his very first full-length album. His inspirations are Drake, Lin-Manuel Miranda, The Weeknd, and Post Malone. Given that knowledge, one can assume that his album will be a smash hit.
“My album will be something that no one has ever seen or heard before,” says Mo proudly. “It is going to definitely rock your world.”
