King Cizzy is a prominent emerging artist out of Mozambique. He began writing and performing in
2009 and released his first EP, CDTSYCAO, in 2015. He started garnering attention in 2018 with
his debut album, Junior, followed by the release of his second EP, Barulho, in 2019, and sold-out
performances for local fans. Recently, he dropped his latest single TU, featuring Mark Exodus, and
is set to release his sophomore album, Escolhido, in early 2021. A fervent blend of grime and
Afrobeats, the double album is a true representation of the dynamic sides of King Cizzy’s artistry. It
is a deep reverence to both contemporary hip-hop and the sound of celebrated African musicians
he was immersed in from a young age.
An inventive entrepreneur, with a Music Production Certificate from the Campus of Perfoming Arts in Pretoria, South Africa, he is a co-founder of the independent record label, Dream Inc., and the
production company, Selected Media Group, and has recently launched a clothing line, Escolhido
Apparel. An exciting rising artist, he’s part of a young, ambitious wave of creativity and innovation,
poised to rise up as a new collective force bringing their talent from Mozambique to the world.
