Born in Mozambique during a 16-year war, MoYah was forced to flee his country as a political refugee & move to Lisbon at a young age, before establishing himself in London and Bristol.
Inspired by his parents’ broad musical taste & the impact of Rap music whilst living in Portugal, MoYah quickly learned that music could be used not only for entertainment but also as a powerful tool for self-exploration & social expression eventually leading him to writing raps that addressed issues relating to identity, social injustices & spirituality from the perspective of a child of the African Diaspora.
Noted for his electrifying performances, MoYah uses his own experience of war and displacement to encourage deeper community cohesion, artistic activism & build empathy amongst different communities.
MoYah’s sound is a perfect amalgamation of positive uplifting hard hitting rap lyrics over High energy AfroFusion, Trap and alternative up-tempo sounds that have been performed extensively across Europe, United States, South America, and the African continent sharing stages with some of the most internationally respected Hip Hop artists such as Nas, Africa Bambaataa & Talib Kweli.
In 2021, MoYah was made the Hip Hop Ambassador of May Project Gardens, an award-winning, London-based grassroots organisation that empowers marginalised groups to address poverty, disempowerment and access to resources and influence.
