The Biography: MUZO
Evans “MUZO” Musonda Jr was born in the rural parts of
Kabwe, Zambia, Africa on October 4th, 1991. Unlike most of
us, Muzo since an early age has dealt with the unfortunate
tragedies that life can bring. Six months prior to his birth
his father passed away, and at the age of 7 his mother also
passed away. Both deaths brought shock, depression and instability to his family.
However amidst this time of confusion, Sandra Musonda (Muzo's mother) was a pillar
of stability for him. In the absence of his father she acted as his provider, protector,
role model and source of inspiration that would follow him throughout his life.
After the passing of his mother life changed dramatically as he moved into 10+
member household, supported by his grandparents who did not earn enough income
to support everyone. It was at this time that Muzo’s affinity for music began.
In an attempt to relieve the stress he felt, Muzo began to keep a diary of his life. Even
though he was young in age, his diaries reflected traits of a more mature mind as he
wrote about the unfairness of life and what could be improved. As time passed Muzo
began to translate his writing into songs, and fell in love with the dream of
entertaining and performing. Regularly ‘performing’ behind his house, Muzo honed his
young skills and envisioned his future in music and entertainment.
Around the age of 12, Muzo’s dream took a step towards reality as he immigrated to
Canada to live with his uncle. With a fresh start and a new environment, Muzo quickly
adapted to his surroundings and gained a passion for rap and r&b music.
“I had to learn how to rap, because I really liked the way it sounded...I always told myself I have
to learn how to do that...It’s not to say there was no rap music in Zambia, but I was never
exposed to it...I lived in a house with six girls and all they listened to was Backstreet Boys, Craig
David, Celine Dion, etc... so there was no rap in the house at all” – MUZO
As he continued to meticulously study the big names in rap and r&b such as Kayne
West, Jay-Z and R-Kelly his songwriting, rapping and singing abilities became
stronger.
In 2008, Muzo released his first mixtape, and in 2010 released his official debut
album: Making Momma Proud. This album would act as a symbolic dedication to his
deceased mother, and put Muzo’s talents on full display as the album was full of
catchy melodies, groovy tunes and lyrics that touched every aspect of life.
Muzo is a creative musical talent whose unique sound will continue to impress the
ears of listeners. Inspired by the modern legends of R&B, Rap & Pop, Muzo has
bridged the gap between his Zambian roots and the modern style of music. His life and
music are based on the simple philosophy that with “hard work and patience you can
do amazing things”.

“Making Momma Proud” can be described as a well rounded album full of catchy
melodies, tunes you can groove too, and lyrics that will touch every aspect of life.
Staying true to his heritage, Muzo uses his native language (Bemba) in addition to
English through a combination of rapping and singing in “Making Momma Proud”.
Listeners will be impressed as the creative unpredictability of Muzo will be on full
display over quality production.
“I don’t like to put boundaries on my music; I like to talk about everything. I don’t like to be
labelled as a rapper, singer or whatever; I always tell myself, I am a musician period.” -
MUZO
“Making Momma Proud” is not only the culmination of Muzo’s commitment and hard
work, but it is also a symbolic dedication to his deceased mother whose memories
have inspired him throughout his life.
“Would she support my music dream or would she push them away? I don’t think I’ll ever get the
answers to these questions. However I dedicated this album to her, and whether she would have
supported it or not I hope she would have at least been proud.” – MUZO
