**LOS ANGELES SINGER-SONGWRITER JOHNNY MOEZZI RELEASES NEW EP _FUNKY PAPU_**

Modern yet vintage, the sonic pleadings flow as Johnny Moezzi delivers bright synth,
alternative, soul, and pop sounds on his 7-song EP _Funky Papu_. Filled with melodic
choruses, musical builds, and heartfelt lyrics _Funky Papu_ is out now on all major
streaming platforms. Hear it here: [https://open.spotify.com/album/6I94qQi369aWVz7NUYn108?si=4lA0OtdFT6G0eKDqOMgg1w](https://open.spotify.com/album/6I94qQi369aWVz7NUYn108?si=4lA0OtdFT6G0eKDqOMgg1w)

_“The Funky Papu EP is the first time I’ve been able to express, on record, some
of the more “pop” sounds I loved as a kid, before becoming a musician and knowing
how the sauce is made,”_ explains Moezzi.

The songs on _Funky Papu_ journey through melodic navigations and establish Moezzi’s
voice as an artist. Throughout the set of songs, he pays homage to the pop sounds
of his youth as he blurs styles and jumps genres with powerful vocals that add that
extra honest touch to the songs. “_It’s about integrity more than form. If something
is displaying a vulnerability or honesty, I don’t care so much what dialect or language
it’s being communicated through,”_ shares Moezzi.

Born in Tehran, Iran to a Persian Father and an Italian Mother his family fled when
Moezzi was four years old, he grew up in Salinas, CA, and attended college in Washington
DC. His lifelong love affair with music was sparked by sneaking into a **BB King**
performance as a kid and mentoring by a member of **Richie Valens**’ family from
the **Backyard Blues Band**. He was the bandleader and guitarist for legendary blues
singer **Miss Mickey Champion** and time spent with the Los Angeles music collective**
The Beachwood Rockers Society**. The now Los Angeles based artist continues to be
inspired by a diverse mix of musical cultures and styles.
