About Me


Hi. I'm MoZella. I deleted my bio because I just don't like formal bios! So here is a little personal info (blah blah blah) about me:I'm from Detroit, MI. I live in Santa Monica, CA. I'm a singer-songwriter. I play guitar. I moved to LA to try and get a record deal right out of high school. I waited tables and decorated cakes instead. For a while I lived all over England, but then came back to LA to get serious about trying to get signed. Then a bunch of stuff happend. Blah blah blah. I played some shows, met some people, couch surfed, etc. Then I signed to Maverick Records (owned by Madonna). After a big legal what-not, Maverick folded into Warner Brothers and I ended up there and they released my album 'I Will'. I made the record with Jude Cole at Ironworks (owned by Jude Cole and Kiefer Sutherland). I toured for a few years and played with the bands/artists Lifehouse, Five For Fighting, Daniel Powter, Dave Matthews, Colbie Caillat, Tyler Hilton, Michelle Branch, Josh Groban, and many others. I've been very fortunate and had my songs placed in a lot of TV shows over the last few years (One Tree Hill, Vegas, Bones, Men In Trees, etc). Mercedes Benz also used a song of mine called 'Amazed' on a TV ad they ran a few years back. My tour posters have also been hung in some cool TV shows (Medium, How I Met Your Mother, Zoey 101) I'm' currently working on my second record due out in Summer '08. If you'd like to know more about me, check out my influences section to the lower left. Did any of this help?!
