Monokino is the alias for Dutch pop composer George van Wetering who also formed and fronted the indie band of the same name and was once part of the growing roster of foreign acts released by Chinese record company Modern Sky. Taking cues from artists across the cultural spectrum, Monokino was once hailed as "the industrial goth band before the EDM cult of personality took over." Monokino gained a large following in China while also gaining traction in North America. He completed five consecutive tours of China and North America, visiting landmark festivals from China’s Strawberry Festival to SXSW in the US.
Monokino collaborated with Tony Visconti on their most popular track "New Kid," and with Dutch artist/producer Jacco Gardner. Monokino's records have been released by Dutch label Konkurrent, Zip Records (USA/the Netherlands), and Modern Sky (China).
