SOUTH AFRICAN INDIE SIREN JOZIA RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM 'MAMOKEBE'

MUSIC
Jozia is a consummate musical chameleon with an adventurous spirit and a distinctive artistic vision. She loves to experiment with styles, sounds and words, blending genres like acoustic folk, soul, pop and indie rock. And yet her output is so distinctly her own; perhaps it‘s her emotive and multifaceted vocals or the courage of her unconventional songwriting.

LYRICS
Spiced up with wordplays, poetic ambiguity and a subtle humour, she explores the big themes in life that really matter: Love and loss, mariages and cows, otherness and alienation, puberty and identity, marihuana and democracy, and, of course, the unsolved mistery of mother-daughter relationships. Even if we don‘t understand the words – Jozia sings in Sepedi, Zulu, Xhsosa, Xevenda and English - the pure intensity and emotionality of her songs unfold a magic that we cannot escape.

MIND BLOWING VIDEOS
As innovative and unconventional as a Singer/Songwriter she is as the Director, Actor and dancer in her music videos, slipping david-bowie-esk into completely different roles and characters.

The videos, Dlozilame‘ (53k views), Mamokebe‘ (79 k views), ‚Julio‘ (21k views) are published on Jozia‘s Youtube-Channel: www.youtube.com/c/JOZIAMUSIC

NEW ALBUM – Out now!

INFLUENCES
Jozia does not have a role model for her music, but follows her own distinct artistic vision which includes the way she is singing, writing, performing, dancing, directing and dressing. However, she has been inspired by such eclectic influences as Björk, David Bowie, Amy Winehouse, Adele, Zahara, Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, U2 and Billie Holiday.
