Domien Cnockaert / Mondingo
Moodshine co-founder • A&R
Domien, aka Mondingo is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, DJ, and live electronic artist. With a master’s degree in music production and years of experience as a live musician for Charlotte Adigéry, Emma Bale, and Hooverphonic, Domien launched Mondingo in 2020 to bring his artistic vision to life.

Manou Maerten / Le Manou
Moodshine co-founder • A&R
Originally from Durbuy, Manou Maerten is one of the few artists who combine DJing with live vocals. A pianist from the age of eight, a finalist in Junior Eurosong 2009, a graduate in music production, and former singer of the drum and bass group AKS, she advocates for gender equality in the music industry. Her label, Moodshine, launched in 2024, reflects this drive to break down the boundaries between pop and electronic music. In 2020, she founded Durbuy Music Studios with her husband, Domien Cnockaert, which has since become a key hub for music creators.
