Moka Only

About

The artist

Moka Only is the principal recording name of Daniel Denton, a Vancouver rapper, singer, producer, beatmaker, and visual artist who also works as Ron Contour. His current artist-controlled Bandcamp and Spotify profile identify Vancouver, while URBNET maintains his active artist and catalog pages. The 2026 album Many Pies, current label activity, and a May 2026 Victoria performance with Prevail as Split Sphere establish an active British Columbia music practice. Moka Only began issuing independent recordings in 1995 with Upcoast Relix. His catalog has since expanded through solo records, instrumental editions, seasonal Martian XMAS projects, and collaborations. His production uses samples, keyboards, drum programming, jazz and soul textures, conversational rap, melody, and deliberately loose rhythmic detail. In and of Itself was documented by the artist-controlled Bandcamp page as a self-produced album recorded in his Vancouver home studio. The exact Spotify identity 7G9ZUoEjbi5Z2bR5w60S0h exposes 153 distinct album and single containers in the Canadian market from June 15, 1995 through May 29, 2026. Spotify classifies 92 as albums and 61 as singles. That provider grouping includes reissues, instrumental companions, collaborative releases, and multi-track singles, and MusicList preserves it rather than silently rewriting the catalog. Representative releases are Many Pies, Beaming, Arbutus Canyon, In and of Itself, and Upcoast Relix. The primary Apple Music identity 29509665, MusicBrainz artist 373701dd-346b-48ad-b098-c1ffe00f9df7, Wikidata Q3860184, URBNET, and the artist-controlled Bandcamp connect Moka Only, Daniel Denton, and Ron Contour without collision. Current relationships include URBNET, distributor Fontana North, longtime collaborator Prevail, Split Sphere, and Rad Brown. His solo work received a 2020 Western Canadian Music Awards nomination for Rap and Hip-Hop Artist of the Year.
