Mothica Announces Heavy Heart Records

Today, alt-pop singer and songwriter Mothica announces Heavy Heart Records, her new imprint label in partnership with Rise Records and BMG. Alongside the announcement, she also shares a new version of her song “Heavy Heart”: LISTEN HERE and WATCH HERE.

After independently releasing her own music, Mothica achieved a breakthrough in 2020 with her viral hit “VICES.” Her passionate fanbase continues to grow as audiences connect with her honest and vulnerable lyrics, like on her recent single “forever fifteen” which openly discusses her journey with trauma and mental health. Now with over 200 million global streams across her catalog, a recent headlining appearance on Lollapalooza’s BMI stage, and collaborations with artists like nothing,nowhere., Royal & the Serpent, and MEMBA, Mothica is poised as an artist to watch for 2021 and beyond.

Mothica is currently in the studio finishing up a new album which will be the first new release on Heavy Heart Records.

Quote from Mothica:
After I gained a following over quarantine through Tiktok, I had a lot of record labels hit me up. My dream record labels, too! I’ve been an independent artist for six years, doing everything from booking my own shows, emailing press outlets, editing videos, designing and shipping my merch, and setting up every session or interview. So naturally I felt very hesitant to let anyone in and wasn’t sure if I’d do well following someone else’s schedule and vision. I ended up releasing my first album Blue Hour on my own, and managed to land No. 1 on the Pop iTunes chart the day of its release! Just by asking my fans to help support. I realized how much ownership and autonomy mean to me, and that I’d rather build something that felt truly mine.  

So, when I was finishing my second album, I had more conversations about starting my own imprint record label so that I can eventually sign other artists and make sure that I still have the creative freedom that I thrive on. When I met Sean and Lisa from Rise Records (a la BMG), they really understood my vision. So I’m excited for the future with Heavy Heart Records and how I can help other artists share their stories.
