Essi Moh

Essi Moh is an Algerian singer, a songwriter and a guitar player.

Moh's name refers to the old Algerian saying "Dar Essi moh, edkhoul ou rouh", which means : "Essi Moh’s place, you can enter it and leave it whenever you want!". The same way the home of Moh was then an open place for an average citizen to enjoy, Moh’s music intends to be a common experience for everyone to enjoy regardless of their origin, background, social class, religion, sex or any other distinction.

Moh started his career as guitarist for several artists from various musical spheres, with genres including Reggae, Soul, Chanson Française (French Popular Music), Blues, and Gnawi (sub-Saharan African, Berber, and Sufi mixture).

He performed in different venues, including the New Morning, Casino de Paris, and Cabaret Sauvage.

In 2010, with a growing experience behind him, Moh decided to undertake a solo career, and along with his friend Karim Kiared (Songwriter) they recorded EP Zenjabil. This record drew attention and was positively welcomed by the public, which encouraged the artist to produce his first full album. Zenjabil v2.0 was released in 2011.

As his career developed, Moh formed his band with other musicians: Jean-Michel Franciette on drums, Salah Boutamine on bass, Vincent Raymond on trumpet, Krimo Yahioune on Guitar, Amine Acyl and Valery Pellegrini on percussions, arrangements and sound engineering.

In June 2013, Moh has authored and recorded the Music of the play "Classic Coiffure" at the Auguste Théâtre (Paris, France), staged and produced by Sylvie Mandier.

Moh played in the movie Les zanamours transitoires by Lazh Lo and also wrote and produced the music for the movie.

Moh is currently finalizing his new Album CrossTalk, which is planned for release on 2014.
