Biography

Colleran was born in Newbridge, County Kildare, Ireland.[2][3]

Colleran has played piano since he was five years old. He played in several bands while in school and, in 2011, began making music on his laptop using a demo version of Ableton Live. He released the demo on SoundCloud a week later under the stage name MMOTHS.[4][5][6] Having released a number of tracks on SoundCloud, MMOTHS was approached by and then signed to Los Angeles music label SQE Music.[3][4] SQE released his self-titled debut EP in March 2012, which featured guest vocals from Superhumanoids and Keep Shelly In Athens.[5][7] The EP was described by This Is Fake DIY as "an utterly beautiful blend of electronics that are somehow crafted to evolve with an aching sense of soulful intimacy".[8]

He performed at the South by Southwest festival in April 2012.[3] In August he supported At the Drive-In at the O2 Academy in Brixton, and he has also opened for Aphex Twin.[9][10]

MMOTHS EP entitled Diaries was released 5 March 2013 and features vocals by Holly Miranda and Young & Sick.[11]
