Moziah
MOZIAH (Marcus Guerrier) is more than just an emerging pop artist-he is a storyteller. The 24-year-old Haitian-American creative from central New Jersey was surrounded by artistic inspiration from an early age, and that energy went on to fuel his own pursuits as he grew into adulthood. After watching his dad sing around the house as a kid, Guerrier sang in church choirs, theater productions, and even played in a punk ska band in high school.
During his first week at NYU's esteemed Tisch School of the Arts, MOZIAH received a bootleg copy of Logic from his roommate, and began making beats between classes while he studied Drama. At age 18, he started to release music under the name MOZIAH-his middle name shared with Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey. With the help of his collaborators, MOZIAH wrote, co-produced, and released his first album Dax Nextdoor in 2018, which gained hundreds of thousands of streams across platforms and was a "coming of age story about fear, love, and learning to fuck with yourself." Along with the album, MOZIAH co-directed two music videos with his childhood friends, Cinematographer Nicolas J Capra and director Tyler Crosby: "Can't Stay In One Place" in 2018 and "Skerred (feat. Still Gosling and AANI)" in 2019. That year, MOZIAH self-produced and released Finessa Hudgens which included collabs with CamRus (Camrus Johnson, CW's Batwoman), Carter Ace, and mau.
In 2020, MOZIAH dropped hip-hop leaning ZYEBOI-the first of two contrasting fraternal EPs. The second-Sweetboy EP-was a collection of love songs, released alongside a music video shot in Nintendo's Animal Crossing which was promoted in partnership with HyperX. His most recent track 'Unionsquarepark' was a soulful addition to his 'park' motif!
