Mozez is an artist with a highly defined identity who occupies his own musical space. Mozez chief desire is to open the minds of his audience to new possibilities and ways of thinking. Son of a Jamaican preacher, Mozez toured Jamaica from 1987 as a member of the Gospel group, Channel of Praise. 1994 saw him performing as a singer in the popular dance band Spirit.
During his spell fronting Zero 7, along with Sia, Sophie Barker and Tina Deko, Mozez showcased his stunning vocals, styled with an easy delivery, which generated a personal fan base. His fans were rewarded in 2006 with the release of his first solo album, So Still; an eye into the core of Mozez super smooth style and musical abilities. In 2010, Mozez created his own label Numen Records, releasing his first album Time Out (a re-mix album) in 2011.
During 2012-2016 Mozez was busy co-writing songs, recording and touring with Nightmare on Wax, whom he still occasionally appears with for live performances. During this time Mozez also produced his second solo album for Numen Records, Wings, released in 2015.
This significant work reveals a mix of life situations highlighted by aspects of spirituality; gaining Mozez attention from Dermot O’Leary and Tom Robinson. Dream State, a special re-mix album, followed ‘Wings’ in 2017 and features different artists whom Mozez has collaborated with.
The Carpenters, Marvin Gaye, Coldplay and most recently, Fat Freddy’s Drop show the diversity of Mozez musical inspiration whilst lyrically he digs deep within to create highly original content.
2021 SAW THE RELEASE OF LIGHTS ON , A PRIME EXAMPLE OF HIS LYRICAL DEXTERITY COMBINED WITH MUSICAL PERFECTION . THE ALBUM SHARES MOZEZ PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND IT TAKES ON DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES, EXPANDING OUR PERCEPTION OF WHAT – HE BELIEVES- IS REALLY GOING ON IN THE WORLD. AND HIS PROJECTION OF THE ULTIMATE TRUTH: LOVE IS THE FALL POSITION AND WE HAVE GIVEN A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY CALLED LIFE. WE MUST MAKE THE BEST OF IT.
