Kamtin Mohager (/ˈkɒmtiːn/)[1] is an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, and graphic designer born in San Jose, California.
He has released five studio albums, White Guts (2010), Wayward Fire (2011), Daydream Forever (2014), Felt (2017), and Honey Moon Drips (2020).
His 2014 single "Sleepwalking" gained popularity for featuring on the video game Grand Theft Auto V (2013) and its accompanying soundtrack.
In 2014, Mohager became the bass guitarist and vocalist for American rock band Teenage Wrist, releasing three EPs and their debut studio album, Chrome Neon Jesus (2018), before departing in 2019.
He has collaborated with numerous other bands and musicians such as The Naked and Famous, Dillon Francis, Jai Wolf, and Flux Pavilion.
"[5] Zachary Houle of PopMatters called the album "an homage to the '80s, in particular, the soundtracks to John Hughes films, and it is, in a word, fun.
"[6] Pitchfork Media's Ian Cohen remarked that it "ends up less like a living celebration of the past and more like a display case of your favorite synth-pop action figures in their original packaging.
[9] Allmusic's William Ruhlmann said: "Mohager convincingly makes the case that there is more to say in the music of the '80s, even if fashion has banished it to its own radio formats and nostalgia tours.
In 2013, Mohager received worldwide recognition when his song “Sleepwalking” was featured on the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto V, as well as on the game's official trailer.
[12] In early 2015, Mohager launched a collaborative side project with Marshall Gallagher of Swing Hero titled Teenage Wrist.
The next month on April 26 followed the release of the third single, “Such A Shame.” Mohager later stated on Twitter that the track was inspired by Jimmy Eat World.
