I am an artist dedicated to creating a more equitable and sustainable world. I oscillate between humor and despair, to interrogate power, and understand and celebrate the mysteries of the universe.

BIO
Moses Rainbow, aka LoKi the Nameless, aka Elmar Ko, aka etc, is an artist of many names and faces hailing from a quiet valley in the Green Mountains.
Moses Rainbow started their journey as a rapper. Hip-Hop culture gave the 17 year-old delinquent a way to question authority, be joyful during dark times, and find their voice. Their close friend Ryan Pierson aka Pensive became a frequent collaborator and Moses Rainbow helped him build a recording studio in an old milkbarn that became their headquarters and gave birth to the milkhaus art festival that they ran with a collective of friends from 2012-2019.
After 8 years and four collaborative albums with different beat-makers, Moses Rainbow began producing their own music and used their 25th birthday as a way to accelerate their growth, producing 25 beats in 25 days, then writing and recording 25 songs about each year of their life over the course of a 25 hour period. They then transformed this feat into a stage performance, planting the seed for their collaboration with Adrian Ennis under the name youAREoK Productions which saw Moses Rainbow embrace acting and eventually co-producing a documentary in 2020 titled Amongst the Crowd.
Moses Rainbow's parallel career as an educator brought them to Connecticut to lead a micro-school and precipitated a shift away from revolutionary music from a heart driven, naturalist, and cosmic perspective to one that confronted the practical realities of 21st century life in America. This led to the album MUNDANE, the EP Letters to America and the art show of the same name that encouraged attendees to write their own letters to America and immersed them through music videos, performance, and visual art by collaborator Gemma Cirignano.
At the same time, Moses Rainbow began creating games, begin with experimentation in education games such as a year long game-based learning program to understand and develop power, a role-playing game to learn history, and working for a startup facilitating and designing games that taught collaboration and problem-solving. This led to creating the board game The Atoll of Fate, the party game Dum Dictator, and more.
In 2021, Moses Rainbow moved to New York City and continued their expansion into other mediums. Since their arrival, they developed a writing practice focused on memoir and historical fiction, building upon their self-publication of Stunner, Melting Memories, and Dying to Live in America.
Moses Rainbow's musical output has slowed with the development of other artistic practices, but it remains steady. In 2024, they produced and co-wrote the album Northern Front with Pensive, continuing their 14 year long collaboration. The project, a collection of "apocalyptic lullabies and cries for revolution" coincided with the rise of generative AI which the artists used while the tools were in their most primitive form, capturing an ephemeral moment in the momentous shift in human creativity.
No matter the moment, the medium, or the method, the message is always the same. This is most clear when you pull back the final layer of Moses Rainbow and learn of the purpose driven social club oK that they founded in 2013.
Moses Rainbow now lives in Gowanus, Brooklyn where they continue to explore the unknown and let creative elements collide and connect, working to create a more equitable and sustainable world.
