Dulguun was born on April 27, 1991 in
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. He is the son of Munkhtsetseg Chultem and Bayasgalan Danzandorj, one of the founders of
Golomt Bank and Bodi International. In 2014, he chose the stage name Magnolian (a pun based on the similarity of the words "Mongolia" and "magnolia") to avoid being confused with another Mongolian artist who had the same name, Dulguun. Magnolian's career in music began in 2015 when he performed as the only solo act at Mongolia's largest music festival,
Playtime Festival. Soon after this performance he released his first EP
Famous Men. 2016 marked Mangolian's first performance abroad, in
South Korea. In 2017, he performed at the
South by Southwest festival in
Austin, Texas. In 2018, Dulguun co-founded the Fat Cat Jazz Club, one of the most successful venues operating in Ulaanbaatar. Magnolian's discography features significantly in
Hideo Kojima's 2025 video game
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, including an original song written specifically for the game, "Woods". == Career ==
