Music producer Bevan Mearns from New Zealand launched Mo’jardo back in 2013. However his musical journey began much earlier. Bevan’s creative ability showed early on, and he began drawing and sketching with charcoal and pencil; a skill he still uses to this day. Music became a part of his life at the age of 15 when he got his first guitar. Through mutual friends Bevan met Rick Kilcullen, a non-traditional guitar player whom Bevan would go on to to write the first two Mo’Jardo EPs with. In 2003, seeking a new life and inspiration Bevan packed his bags and headed for Thailand, where he met Chris Jungo, a former music producer for Sony and EMI. Chris would become not only a life long friend, but a writing partner and with the trifecta complete, 2013 saw the release of 25 Floors Up. Fast forward through another EP, a full length album and a line up change. Now in 2017 Mo’jardo release the 2nd LP “Nightlife” featuring 11 new tracks, which includes guests such as Chris Jungo, Nathan Lawson, and Tim Gelo.
