Career

Milosh started learning classical cello at age three,[4] took up drumming, and studied jazz and vocals at university.[5]

The Los Angeles-based record label Plug Research released two of Milosh's albums including 2004's You Make Me Feel and 2006's Meme. In 2008, he contributed the track "Then It Happened" on the Ghostly International/Williams Street album Ghostly Swim, which was released as a free digital download. Later that year, he released his third record, iii, with Plug Research in the U.S. and Studio !K7 in the EU. In 2009, he collaborated with Paul Pfisterer on the album New Territory.

In 2010, Milosh formed the band Rhye with Robin Hannibal, and they released their debut album Woman in March 2013. Milosh released his fourth solo record, Jetlag, in November 2013 on his own label, Deadly. In July 2017, Rhye released a single entitled "Please", and Milosh announced on social media the release of a second album later that year. In February 2018, Rhye released a follow-up album to Woman entitled Blood.[6]

Sexual abuse allegations

In March 2021, Milosh was accused of grooming and sexual abuse by his ex-wife Alexa Nikolas. She alleged Milosh began grooming her for a sexual relationship when she was 16 years old and he was 33, and that during their marriage, he assaulted her.[7] In August 2021, Nikolas filed a lawsuit against Milosh for sexual battery, gender-based violence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.[8] In February 2022, Nikolas released court documents against Milosh.[9]
