(New York, NY) With his feet firmly planted in the tropical Floridian sands, the indie-surf-rock artist, Modern Love Child (MLC for short), releases his first single of 2024, “Doing It All,” on May 31, 2024.
Since relocating to Miami, FL, MLC has unexpectedly carved out a name for himself as not just a unique indie songwriter and artist, but also a prominent TikTok creator. As he settled into his new home and began writing songs for his forthcoming sophomore album, he started to use TikTok as a video journal, documenting his experience in Miami, his new love for Latin culture, dance lessons, Spanish classes, and love life.

“I go on a morning walk every day around downtown Miami. While I’m having my coffee, I talk about what’s on my mind, and funny, random thoughts that pop into my head,” says MLC, who was pleasantly shocked when some of his videos began to amass millions of views.

As exciting as it is to be recognized on the street due to his viral videos, MLC has never strayed far from his biggest passion: music. Throughout 2023 and 2024, he’s released a string of singles via The Noise Company (NoiseCo), an independent label / music co-op founded by artist Ben Kweller, a longtime MLC collaborator. Tunes like “Diet Cokes” and “Tia” highlight his signature emo-authenticity, and the latest offering, “Doing it All,” reflects on the changes he’s experienced since his 2021 debut album, MLC. “This was written during a transition in my life as I was closing one chapter in Los Angeles and starting a new one in Miami,” he states. “I think there’s an inherent optimism in the song that reflects my excitement and hopefulness for the big life change.” With no shortage of inspiration, Modern Love Child is currently putting the finishing touches on a new album. And, of course, he’ll be documenting it all via TikTok. |
