Band biography
File:Mezzo_Mohamed_.jpg
The MEZZO's history starts with the story of its founder, Mohamed. With a music career spanning 30 years, his love for music was inspired through hanging out at his eldest brother's home studio where the latter's band, Club Cobras, practiced. With the instruments readily available at the studio and the pointers offered by the Club Cobras band members Mohamed soon learned the nuances of music.
Having familiarised himself with a number of instruments, Mohamed joined 20th Century BC, an up-and-coming band, in the early 80s. This opportunity was given him by the 20th Century BC founder, the late Mohamed Zahid. Mohamed attributes most of his musical success to the advice and guidance given him by Zahid: a man who Mohamed views almost as a father.
With the 20th Century BC outfit Mohamed learned the trade of performing through a 3-year period. After his initial tenure with 20th Century BC, Mohamed joined an outfit called Quicksand. It did not take long before he was back in 20th Century BC.
Mohamed's first experiment with handling an own band started with Cream of Acid, a band he ran during the late-80s for about a year. This first self-made band performed covers and made few ventures into touring. However, the limited success of the band saw Mohamed close shop and move back to 20th Century BC.
After serving 20th Century BC through the turn of the decade and armed with the knowledge acquired from his initial startup, Mohamed started the 90s from a clean slate and a new band: MEZZO e’band ('e' being an acronym for entertainment). With the initial band members, Inad, Issey, Nafil along with Mohamed himself, MEZZO e’band became one of the most successful music startups in Maldives.
Today MEZZO comprises of Jinan, Javid, Rishwan, Zia and Mohamed. They play gigs in numerous resorts and has accolades unmatched by any other outfit in Maldives. As the founder and leader of the MEZZO, Mohamed has created dozens of original tracks comprising 4 albums.
