Zito Mowa

Data updated on 2025-07-14 20:54:03 UTC
Zito Mowa began releasing music in his mid-twenties; with a sound to reflect his multifaceted musical taste, incorporating hip-hop, jazz, and house. Zito is taking a defiantly anti-purist approach to music—moving from house to boom-bap, and blending his off-grid drums with some captivatingly unusual back-of-the-crate sample chops. Over the last few years, the self-confessed music fanatic has been making big waves in the electronic scene with his unique, almost lackadaisically composed ‘house’ (if you can call it that). Indeed, explaining His style is a difficult task given its idiosyncrasy. One could call it a blend of sounds that travel the dustiest of hip-hop cuts, the slackest of funk hooks, and deep house experimentalism, seamlessly woven together by a mesmeric instinct for arrangement.

In 2021, Mowa introduced his alter ego OKAY GOD, his vocally-harmonic side, blending a cappella with his signature swinging drums, while also opening his own label, Selville Records, which began to gain traction, allowing for Mowa to find and expose new and upcoming talent.

Defined as “Genre-defying” by Red Bull, Creating his own lane, Zito has caught the attention of artists such as Osunlade, Opolopo, Seven Davis Jr., Moodymanc, and Mangabey.
