Montreal’s music scene is witnessing the rise of a groundbreaking artist—Mosez Jones. Known for his genre-blurring sound and deeply introspective lyricism, Mosez is carving a unique space in the alternative hip-hop landscape. His latest LP, Safe In Solitude, is a testament to his fearless creativity, showcasing his ability to merge poetic storytelling, diverse vocal textures, and experimental production. With recognition from the prestigious AAA Music Awards, Mosez Jones is proving that his artistic journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and boundless innovation.
The Journey to Solitude
At just 23 years old, Mosez Jones faced a pivotal period in his life that would serve as the foundation for Safe In Solitude. Grappling with personal struggles and a sense of isolation from his social circle, he turned inward, finding solace in music and self-reflection. During this transformative time, his partner became a source of strength, guiding him through a process of healing and artistic discovery.
“Safe In Solitude encapsulates the lessons I learned during a year of self-reflection,” Mosez shares. “It’s about coming to terms with yourself when there’s no one else around to affirm you.”
The result is a deeply personal body of work that resonates with listeners navigating their own journeys of self-discovery and resilience.
Creative Methodology: Minimalism Meets Intensity
Mosez Jones embraces a “less is more” philosophy in his creative process, producing his music entirely from his home studio. His streamlined setup allows for raw bursts of inspiration, often leading to songs being written, recorded, and mixed in a single session. While this intense creative workflow fosters a sense of authenticity and continuity, it also necessitates periods of rest—a balance Mosez continues to navigate.
One of his standout tracks, “BIRKNBAGZ,” exemplifies his versatility. “It’s a concoction of rap gymnastics and Atlanta-driven beats,” he explains. Featuring collaborator Arizé, the song pushes the boundaries of his signature sound while staying rooted in his experimental ethos.

Live performances remain a crucial element of his artistic expression. Known for his ability to captivate audiences, Mosez is planning an album release show that promises to be as immersive and impactful as his recordings.
Looking back, receiving his first AAA Music Award was a defining moment in his career. “It’s an honor that reinforces my drive to put music first,” he reflects.
