Get to know Molly
The talented musician/actress began penning lyrics at the age of five, singing by age eight, and auditioning for on-screen roles by age ten. Molly’s art quietly impacted pop from behind-the-scenes and in the spotlight. As a songwriter, she co-wrote “Better With You” for multiplatinum pop superstar Jesse McCartney, “Been Through” for K-pop phenomenon EXO, and also wrote for Grammy-nominee, actress, and singer Lea Michele, Swedish singer Robin Bengtsson, and composed children’s music for the Hasbro animated series Hanazuki.
As an artist, Molly was previously one-half of the pop duo Cosmos & Creature with her then-boyfriend, Brandyn Burnette, and signed to Steve Aoik’s Dim Mak label. The pair garnered over 26 million streams, played sold-out shows at The Roxy and The Troubadour in Los Angeles, and shared the stage with artists such as Dua Lipa, John Mayer, and Bebe Rexha. Along the way, Molly also unveiled three solo EPs: Shadow of the Sun [2015], Now You See Me [2016], and Third Eye High [2018]. An incredible artist in her own right, Molly has amassed over 13 million streams and praise from the likes of PopDust, Ladygunn, LA Weekly, PopCrush, Impose Magazine, buzzbands.la, and Atwood Magazine amongst others.
However, during 2018, life as she knew it flipped upside down. Molly lost her father and her first formative musical influence, and also ended a five-year relationship, thus moving on from Cosmos & Creature.
“I was going through the actual separation and embracing myself,” she admits. “I decided to focus on me and give my solo career the shot I had never really given it because I was always so focused on the band with my ex and doing things with him together. It was healing to be able to make music that showed independence versus being so overwhelmed by romantic pursuits. I tried to break the cycle and adjust on my own, so I could be a whole person the next time I got into a relationship.”
While the passing of her father was one of the most difficult experiences of her life, his experience as a musician, writer, and multi-instrumentalist played an important role in her life. “Seeing him pursue his dream was a massive influence on me. As sad as I am about his passing, I gained perspective on life. It’s changed me for the better. I accepted myself.”
Amidst everything, Molly spent as much time as possible in the studio and crafted her debut album, Voice on the Internet. Molly set the stage for the record with her latest single, “Handsomer” ft. Maty Noyes which Hollywood Life called “the empowerment anthem of 2020.” The track joined her previously released singles “IRL,” “I love you but I don’t like you,” and “Be Here Now” to create the album which is an ode to her journey towards self-discovery.
Voice on the Internet ties into the idea of what you see online and believing you want to live that life while also tapping into relatable experiences of heartache, loss, body issues, vulnerability, independence, and overall, self-acceptance. By opening up, Molly makes the music she was always meant to with Voice on the Internet.
“I feel like a force to be reckoned with, but I also feel like just another person who’s lost in the world trying to find my purpose and my place and doing so through connecting and communicating,” she says. “I’ve realized I can use all of my voices. I love to be a chameleon. My music represents the super confident person I am and the super insecure person I am. It’s like both of those voices find their time in one place. My art is all of it. When you hear the record, I hope you don’t need to text or call your ex at three in the morning,” she leaves off. “You could put this on instead. I want you to cry to it and dance to it. I embraced being on my own. You have the same power.”
