Why mölly Thinks Music Is a Tool for Healing—and How That Shapes Her Productions
mölly makes her debut with Daylight, the first single from her upcoming EP, Rushing In. As a producer, DJ, and yoga teacher, her music pulls from personal experience and a focus on connection, shaping a sound that blends melody with atmosphere. In this interview, she talks about the artists who influenced her, why developing a unique sound matters, and how mindfulness plays a role in her process. She also reflects on lessons learned from early projects and where she sees electronic music heading next.
With cosigns from artists like Christian Löffler, Luttrell, and Oliver Koletzki, mölly is already building momentum. Daylight is an introduction, but it’s also a statement—one that sets the tone for what’s ahead.
Who are the artists or sounds that most shaped your style early on?
Ben Böhmer and Tinlicker have had such a big impact on my style. Honestly, their music has changed my life. I’ll never forget the first time I saw Ben Böhmer play live—I couldn’t stop crying, literally for the entire show and even for days afterward. It was one of the most profound experiences I’ve ever had and, to this day, I still don’t think I can fully comprehend what happened. When an artist’s work resonates that strongly, it inevitably shapes your perspective and how you approach your own work.
Beyond that, I’ve always been inspired by the more subtle, quieter moments. The sound of silence itself has been just as influential on my style. I’ve spent a lot of time on silent meditation retreats, and those experiences helped me tap into the power of stillness and the spaces in between.
That depth of presence naturally weaves its way into my work. Living by the beach and hearing the sound of the waves every day is another vital piece of influence as well!
Why do you think it’s important for artists to focus on developing their own sound rather than chasing trends?
Focusing on crafting your own, authentic sound is one of the most valuable things you can do as an artist. It’s an opportunity to translate the essence of who you are into music. And honestly, wow! That’s such a gift—I try to remind myself every day that I get to do this!
Trends will always come and go, and while they might spark something within you, if your focus is solely on what’s popular in the moment, you can easily lose sight of what makes your music uniquely yours. I think the key is being intentional and creating from a place of authenticity rather than external validation. Are you making this because it excites you, because it feels like an extension of your own voice? Or are you making it because it feels like what you should be making? If you create from a place that feels true to you, the people who are meant to connect with it will find it. And isn’t that what this is all about?
Also, developing your sound is a journey—one that I’m definitely still on. It’s not something you figure out all at once. It’s something you refine over time through exploration, trial and error, and a deep trust in yourself and your intuition. In my experience, the artists who create an impact are the ones who tap into something deep within themselves, reflecting their own unique story and perspective.
And when music comes from such a raw space, I genuinely believe it has the power to connect with others in a truly transformative way.
When you think back to your earliest projects, what’s something you would do differently now?
I would be so much more patient and gentle with myself. When I look back at my earliest projects, I’m honestly in awe of the version of me who had the courage to step into something completely unknown and incredibly difficult.
I knew absolutely nothing about music production, yet I somehow expected myself to have it all figured out right away. I was so hard on myself when, in reality, I was doing something really brave. I’d tell myself to be patient and actually appreciate the magic of being a beginner—because you only get to do that once.
Where do you think the future of electronic music is heading?
As electronic music and technology continue to evolve, I think we’ll see a deeper emphasis on human connection. Live shows, shared experiences, and the energy of being in a space with others—these are things AI can’t replicate.
At the same time, I believe there’s a growing opportunity to explore how electronic music intersects with mindfulness and healing practices—whether through meditation, breathwork, or even psychedelic journeys. I’m not entirely sure what that looks like yet, but I do know that music has the power to create space for transformation and I’d love to see more experiences intentionally designed to tap into that potential.
What do you think is missing in the music industry right now?
I think there’s so much power in storytelling and vulnerability, and I’d love to see more of that in the industry. Some of the most inspiring moments in my career have come when artists open up and share the messy, unpolished parts of their journey—the struggles, mistakes, breakthroughs, humor, and the meaning behind their art.
BLOND:ISH is a huge inspiration for me in this way. She’s just so real and unapologetically herself, and that gives me hope. Artists like her—and more visible female producers—are still too rare, and that’s something I’d love to see, and help, change.
