Emerging from the foggy streets of Seattle and currently residing in the vibrant cityscape of Los Angeles, MØZZIE is an artist whose music blends the raw energy of grunge, the melodic catchiness of alternative rock, and the dark allure of goth rock.
MØZZIE’s musical journey began during a particularly bleak winter in 2023, a time marked by self-imposed isolation and introspection. This period of solitude, coupled with a lifelong love for classic horror films and music from bands like My Chemical Romance, Bring Me The Horizon, and The Birthday Massacre, ignited a creative spark.
The result is a growing catalog of music that delves into themes of isolation, depression, mental health, and loss, all wrapped in a storytelling style that could fit into the score of either horror films or your typical boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl breakup films.
MØZZIE likens his latest single “Dream” to a fusion of 2010s alternative rock anthems and 80s synth leads reminiscent of something you’d hear on Netflix’s Stranger Things mixed together in a post-punk gritty grunge sound.
The track is steeped in goth-rock/alt-rock influences, with huge melodic distorted guitar riffs, moody synth soundscapes, and energetic drums that could easily serve as the soundtrack to a film like 500 Days of Summer. It’s a sonic journey that captures the intensity of his emotions and experiences, drawing listeners into a world where melancholy and yearning coexist..
Seattle-hailing solo act MØZZIE melds the industrial grit of Marilyn Manson with the raw, gritty grunge sound of Nirvana underscored by haunting alt-rock and metal elements reminiscent of The Birthday Massacre on debut release “CRAWL.”
A mesmerizing blend of sharp guitars, dark synths and energetic drums, the fierce yet brooding number takes us on a spine-chilling journey through the depths of human emotion with its intense and immersive vibe.
I2R: Your latest single, “CRAWL,” has been described as a “sonic descent into the abyss.” What emotions or experiences did you want to convey with this song?
MØZZIE: That’s a really cool way to describe the song. I wanted to use ‘CRAWL’ as a “statement of purpose” for my debut as an artist and to convey a really dark, horror film vibe. I wanted people to listen to this song and instantly think “This song feels and sounds like it should be in a horror film”.
