Mocky has released four albums under his own name: In Mesopotamia, Are + Be, Navy Brown Blues, and Saskamodie.

His music is notable for its sense of humour, and for combining elements of hip-hop and experimental sounds into memorable tunes. Mocky's song "Sweet Music" from his first album quickly became an underground hit, especially in Europe.
