The Watches of Switzerland Group Presents Hold It Down

FEATURING OMEGA

Moodymann's music, style, and essence are inseparable from the vibrant, gritty backdrop of Detroit. His sound is a rich tapestry woven from the threads of R&B, jazz, and house, creating a sonic experience that transcends boundaries. Like the Swiss watchmaker OMEGA, an ethos is shared where pushing limits and breaking rules forms a new sensibility where limitations do not exist. The result is a unique fusion of melodic storytelling and raw beats, a testament to how an artist's surroundings can profoundly influence a look, a sound, a sense of time.

Detroit's industrial rhythm and the city's complex history of triumph and struggle seep into Moodymann's compositions, shaping not only his taste but also the very core of his artistic identity. It's in this city, amid its abandoned factories and resilient communities, that Moodymann finds his inspiration, channeling the energy and evolution of Detroit's streets into his music moment to moment.
