He was educated at Winchester College and Worcester College, Oxford.
His musical career began in 1978 playing bass guitar in Winchester band The Big Figure. At Oxford he continued as a bass player and vocalist in Ron and His Beat Busters (under the name Miguel Horton) and Communist Alliance. These outfits played a combination of cover versions and original material with new wave, R&B and rockabilly influences. As a guitarist he played in country blues trio The Shovel Robinson King Biscuit Country Blue Band.
Momtchiloff was a founding member of the seminal twee pop bands Talulah Gosh, Heavenly,[1] and its later incarnation Marine Research. In 1999, he joined Jessica Griffin in her band the Would-Be-Goods.
He has also played guitar for Scarlet's Well, Les Clochards, and Hot Hooves.
In 2014, he devised a band called Tufthunter to record an album of his songs, each sung by a different singer. This album was released in 2015 under the title Deep Hits. A second album of 'garage exotica', Dream Diary, was released in 2023.
From 1993 to 2023 Momtchiloff was Commissioning Editor for Philosophy at Oxford University Press.[1]
