Career

After moving to London, his first major break as a professional artist came in 1996 when, as part of British vocal house duo Spirits, he had hits with "Don't Bring Me Down" and "Spirit Inside". In the early 2000s he became established as the male lead singer for Zero 7.

After contributing to the first two Zero 7 albums (Simple Things and When It Falls), Mozez launched his solo career and his own record label, Numen Records.

His debut solo album So Still was released on October 10, 2005, featuring many of the down-tempo elements he has become known for. Collaborators on the album included producer Guy Sigsworth, Nightmares on Wax, and Henry Binns of Zero 7.

On November 27, 2015, Mozez released his second album, Wings. The album received a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars from Pop Magazine[1] and is listed at #4 on the magazine's Best Albums of 2015 ranking.[2]

In February 2020, his record label released the single "Hangin' on a Kiss" by Mari, a song co-written and produced by Mozez.
