Growing up off Pop, Hip-Hop and R&B, Motzy writes and records with all three combined. Stevie Wonder, Russell Simmons, Big Daddy Kane, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Nas, R. Kelly and The Roots musically inspire him. Motzy is really into making music thats catchy, humorous, has sex appeal, and that you're able to dance to with the respect and honor of knowing true hip-hop. Motzy has had the opportunity of performing at the 5 Spot, Club Flow, The 69th St. Bar & Terminal Grille, Pulaski Hall, LOVE Park, and Lucky Strike. The success of his first mixtape/cd "Welcome to Phillywood" 2003
gave Motzy the oppurtunity to vibe with other local artist, producers, and DJ's. This also allowed him to create a buzz dat made his second cd "Do You know Motz?" 2005
become a local underground favorite among peers and supporters of his music. While performing Motzy was able to get a write up in the Philadelphia Daily News Hip-Hop column with Raw Life Entertainment founded by The Roots aphilliated Dice Raw.
Motzy auditioned for music reality shows, showcases, and a few labels. He says just being able to pick up a book and learn the ins and outs, the pros and cons, the ups and downs, and the trails and tribulations of the music industry is very important for him. Motzy knows and understands that this business is not promised to anyone but his consistency, the love and support he receives, his haters and the trust in himself keep him going.
With his 3rd album "Hollyhood Here I Come" on the way Motzy is reaching out to some known talent and combining certain songs off his previous 2 releases to bring you what he subtitles "The Motzarelly Collection" 2003-2008. While still under the Beautiful Black Children Productions umbrella Motzy has reached out on his own to upstart Cliche Enterprises Ent., W.Y.O.S.I. (Wear Ya Own Style Incorporated) Fashions and his super secret conglamorate comprised of Mc's, Producers, Singers, and DJ's called "Da N. Crowd". When asked about the group Motzy says... "First of all its not a group and second of all time and talent will tell who's really who in this thing we call "Hip-Hop". Back to the subject, Growing up everybody wanted to be part of the in crowd regardless if it was positive or negative so this is just a play off that and ya love for Hip-Hop music. So If you dont have a LOVE for it and dont know who the Father DJ Kool Herc is then its no sense of u asking... "How can i be a part of "Da N Crowd"?. Consistency alone is Success, Good things come to those who Wait, and Patience is A Virtue. "Da N. Crowd" embodies all of that to the highest degree.
