About Muo Duo

Muo Duo features New York-based brother-sister duo Miles and Winter. Miles started studying composition at Juilliard in high school, where he learned all the rules in order to know the perfect way to break them. Singer, producer, songwriter, trumpeteer, award-winning film score composer, he takes inspiration from The Beatles, Tyler The Creator, and Freddie Hubbard in order to make Muo Duo's signature indie meets hip hop sound. He has always had a passion for songwriting, but originally studied French Horn at Juilliard before switching majors to composition. In college at The University of Chicago, he studied biology and astrophysics while also playing music in various indie bands. There, he learned to take his classical composition skills and apply them to commercial songwriting, playing original music in venues throughout the city of Chicago. He also has composed music for and is the musical director of an award-winning documentary film group STAGE, working on a series called Curiosity: The Making of a Scientist. Their pilot episode has been shown at various film festivals across the country. Having expanded his musical knowledge, he is now a true multi-instrumentalist. Having studied opera, jazz trumpet, guitar, and synthesizers, he is able to take inspiration from the great artists that have come before him and create a truly unique and addictive sound for Muo Duo.

Winter is only 13 years old but her vocals are ageless. She began studying music by performing in Off-Broadway productions and quickly found herself playing the role of young Elsa in Disney's production of Frozen on Broadway. She has also successfully pursued professional acting and has appeared in Sesame Street as well as Manifest, a series on Netflix. Currently singing in the children’s chorus at the MET Opera, she continues to follow her passions, and brings a serious vocal talent to the group.

Their separate careers came together during the pandemic, when the family was forced to hunker down for most of 2020 in a rural area of Vermont. Living the life as mountain hermits, they found making music to be a great escape and a way to connect with people being physically and emotionally isolated. They recorded their first songs in a make-shift sound booth in their bedroom, created by leaning two mattresses against each other. Over the two years that they have been working as Muo Duo, they developed a unique, genre-bending style that knows no bounds. Now, they cut their songs at the recording studio and have worked with established artists such as Mick Jenkins and Guapdad 4000, as well as grammy-winning engineer Will Borza. Their recent success and collaborations have provided a proof of concept of sorts as they look to bring their career to the next level.
