May The Muse

May the Muse is American/German singer/songwriter Désirée Mishoe.
Raised in small-town Belgium, she reluctantly carved a successful 10 year modelling
career throughout her teens and into her twenties, until the call of music, her first love,
became irresistible and she felt compelled to pivot. Initially writing songs alone, and later collaborating with German producer Robot Koch, she released her first EP entitled “Gold” in 2018, which featured her much-loved cover
version of Moderat’s “Bad Kingdom”.
In 2020, May The Muse released the single “Islands and Waves”, which also appeared on
the 2021 release of her “When Mercury Fades” EP. Celebrated for her ‘’intense creativity’’ (Clash) and her ‘’bewitching vocals’’ (The Line
of Best Fit), she received an invitation for a much-praised A COLORS SHOW in early
2021. May The Muse went on to play festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival, Melt!
Festival and Reeperbahn Festival. She has supported Artists like The Avalanches, Ibeyi,
Joep Beving and The Darkness.
Her music has been used in the Netflix Series Dark and has also appeared in Riverdale and Kimmy Fasani’s “Butterfly in a Blizzard”.
2025 sees the release of the first full length May The Muse album, “No Please, Yes
Thank You”. An eclectic collection of songs veering from Neo-soul to Rock, Goth,
Country and Pop, which supports the assertion by Clash magazine that “conversations
around the genre of music she makes fade into irrelevance.”
