Kiwi singer Moses Mackay has a wide range of fans. Some people approach the 33-year-old to tell him how much they enjoy his dulcet voice in international singing sensations Sol3 Mio, while others are keen to chat about his on-screen love life.
"When people start with, 'I saw you on The Bachelor!' I know what type of questions are about to follow," smiles Moses, who starred in the reality show in 2021. "People assume I have ladies around me all the time!"
In fact, these days, the heartthrob is single and laser-focused on his music. Moses, who grew up on Auckland's North Shore, has recently released his solo album Grace, which the singer says felt like going on a quest.
"I jumped on the plane and took off to LA," Moses recalls. "I had ideas in my pocket, but I had no idea what I was gonna do with them. It was crazy!"
Crashing on the couch of a musician friend and spending his days recording in a Hollywood studio, Moses found himself brushing shoulders with musicians he'd long idolised - like the night the Black Eyed Peas' songwriter lent him a pair of pants when he got turned away at the door of a gig for wearing shorts.
But being far from his home base had its challenges.
"I left everything behind," tells Moses, who made the difficult decision to leave a relationship in order to be able to focus fully on his dream.
