About

Moteh Parrott is a Scottish artist with a distinctive modern indie-folk-rock sound, complementing reflective, uplifting lyrics with raw electric guitar and cello. Born in Cameroon and given the local name Mnkongmoteh, his music has been described as comparable with “a Highland wilderness with all the sweeping colour and spirit which that encompasses” (leedsmusicscene.net). After the break up of his London-based band, Red Kites, Moteh returned to the Scottish Highlands, where he began working on new music with cellist Kathleen Rollins-McKie and drummer Marc Rollins-Mckie, both previously members of Revere. With Blair Young completing the line up on bass, the ‘Afterglow’ Acoustic EP was released in late 2018. Moteh now calls Edinburgh home, where he is working on his first album. He recently became a musician for Live Music Now, a charity which organises concerts for audiences who might otherwise not have access to live music.
