Canadian Duo Bob Moses Chases Lifelong Music Dream

Bob Moses, the Canadian electronic duo of Jimmy Vallance and Tom Howie, are on a quest for a lasting career in music. The pair, who first met as teenagers in art class in Vancouver, have seen significant success over the past 12-13 years, with their debut album "Days Gone By" and 2018 follow-up "Battle Lines both charting on Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart. They've also received Grammy and Juno nominations and played prestigious shows at Red Rocks and festivals worldwide.

However, the duo is now grappling with the ephemeral nature of their early highs as artists. "There's an interesting headspace that comes from the feeling that you have all these highs and lows in life, but you don't really feel like you can hang on to them in any real way or like they're necessarily yours," says Howie. Despite their success, Vallance and Howie still feel the same as they did when they were 16 in their bedrooms, first wanting to make music.

As they approach the release of their new album "Blink" on October 17th, Bob Moses is focused on being present for the journey and maintaining their passion for the long term. "Every time you do a tour and every time people buy tickets or records get on the radio, none of that is a guarantee," says Vallance. "So we're extremely grateful for all the opportunities that we've had and continue to have. We hope we have a long career and we're just going to keep going for it."
