About Us
Our origins
This project was created in Lorraine, on the North Shore of Montreal, by two sisters, Stéphanie and Isabelle, as well as a childhood friend, Geneviève. The idea came to us while shopping for our family's first baby, when we noticed the lack of choice in terms of musical doggies offering beautiful, soft and comforting melodies that are also good for cognitive development. Having two music schools and immersed in this universe since our childhood, it was natural for us to want to share with other families the proven benefits of classical music in the development of children. Indeed, it has been scientifically demonstrated that classical music calms, soothes, reassures, awakens cognitive functions, improves memory, develops emotional sensitivity, and more!
Moka: Return on a success based on ''true''
In the sound toy market, where screaming and high-decibel sounds are legion, Moka quickly stood out. By promoting calm, harmonious and truth, it embodies a quality option. The families adopted him and, since then, the attachment has not weakened. To date, more than 30,000 families fall asleep to the sound of Moka every evening!
This is because, to seduce the ears of toddlers in search of sleep or comfort, Moka offers the gift of authentic musicality. In the pit of his belly, it is the rich sounds of the piano, violin and cello that we can hear vibrating. Bye bye synthesizer sounds, hello the softness and warmth of real classical musical instruments! Moka's three lullabies are 100% written, performed and recorded in Montreal, at La Shop Studios.

From Kanye West to little Elizabeth’s bassinet
Stéphanie et Geneviève sont les deux musiciennes de renom qui signent les pièces musicales originales de Moka. Ce duo représentait les collaboratrices parfaites car, en dépit des grandes foules pour lesquelles elles ont performé - notamment aux côtés de Mika, Michael Bublé, Adam Cohen, Kanye West et même le prince William -, le public chouchou des deux musiciennes a toujours été celui des enfants.
