About Me&Mobi:

„It’s a fucking musical mutt! Big ups to the Me&Mobi’s for not giving a fuck and creating a very original batch of music.“

 

Jim Black, drummer (USA):

„Me & Mobi – An unexpected new twist on the old piano trio format – intriguing, fascinating, unpredictable, mysterious, powerful moods, and grooving. Their music is an unusual and haunting combination of warmth and ice. Something for the ears, something for the mind, and something for the dance floor.“
