Many are starting to make comparisons to Vangelis, the late great Greek electronic composer, and she has already worked with the now late Angelo Badalamenti, (David Lynch’s longtime music collaborator).

Kid Moxie has also collaborated with Orion/MGM on the music for their new logo, created a synth-wave remix of Wagging Tongue into a duet with Dave Gahan for Depeche Mode, worked with Greek directors Giorgos Georgopoulos on the music for the film "Not to be unpleasant, but I want to talk about something very serious”, with Vasilis Kekatos on the TV series "Milky Way”, and with Kristoferos Papakaliatis on Maestro (known as Maestro in Blue in many territories).

The moment Kid Moxie's life changed forever was when she heard the soundtrack Drive, which changed the face of synth music, and on her latest neon-noir EP with German artist Nina, titled Lust, she has finally worked with the iconic label behind Drive, Italians do it Better.
