From this moment I knew my place in this world would be within art and music industry, learning my craft to become an established musician” After attending Björk Digital, an “immersive” virtual reality exhibition by the Icelandic musician at Barcelona contemporaneous museum, Mutul became fascinated with art in varying forms. His music developed a more structured and personal groove, with a lens on tropical percussion and experimentation with vocals.
