2MOODS
His real name is Dan Dennis Ndala. On stage he chose 2Moods as his pseudonym, in order to promote the concept of the duality of elements in existence. Outside of the stage, 2Moods is a psychology student at the University of Alberta. Originally from Congo Kinshasa, now residing in Edmonton Canada, the artist has been active on the Canadian music scene since the summer of 2015. His love for music and his admiration for French vocabulary are the elements that motivated him to pursue a musical career.
