Gramoz Aliu (Albanian pronunciation: [gɾamɔz aliu];[stress needed] born 29 September 1995), known professionally as Mozzik, is a Kosovo-Albanian rapper and songwriter.[3] Born and raised in Ferizaj, Aliu began to make music at an early age before embarking on a professional career as a rapper. He rose to significant recognition in the Albanian-speaking Balkans, after he signed a contract with On Records.[4] Aliu later gained great popularity in German-speaking Europe, as he collaborated with his ex-wife Loredana Zefi.[5] Their collaborations achieved commercial success in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, and topped the charts in the aforementioned countries.[6][7] Due to his success, he signed contract with Sony Music Germany and announced his debut studio album to be released in 2020.[8]

Life and career[]

Gramoz Aliu was born on 29 September 1995 into an Albanian family in the city of Ferizaj, then part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, present-day Kosovo.[3] He entered a relationship with Swiss-Albanian rapper Loredana Zefi and married her in 2018.[9] Loredana gave birth to the couple's first daughter Hana on 18 December 2018 in the city of Lucerne in Switzerland.[10][11][12] The couple separated in October 2019.[13]

In January 2020, Mozzik announced an upcoming single in collaboration with Albanian rapper Tayna during a social media post.[14] The aforementioned single, "Edhe ti", was premiered in the same month and entered the music charts in Albania, Germany and Switzerland.[15][16] In February 2020, he released his follow-up singles "Auf Widersehen" and "Tom & Jerry", the first marking his first single entirely written in the German language.[17]
