Momus is a Scottish musician and writer, born on February 11, 1960, in Paisley, Scotland, United Kingdom. He began his musical career in 1981 and adopted his solo alias in 1986. Although his music is considered influential in the early Brit Pop scene, his releases did not achieve commercial success during that time. In the early 1990s, he shifted his focus to J-pop, where he found success as a songwriter. Over the next three decades, Momus continued to create music, largely remaining under the radar of mainstream media. In 2009, he ventured into writing novels, which garnered wide critical acclaim. Since 1997, he has been dealing with a rare disease that resulted in the loss of eyesight in his left eye.
