Milo Z

Carson Daly dubbed him a “New York Institution!” For 3 decades, Milo Z has been bringing his own original style of music “Razzamofunk” (a blend of Rock, Rap, R&B, Jazz, and Funk) to the Big Apple and the world. Born and raised on New York City’s Lower East Side, Milo got his start in music at the age of 13 after he and a buddy lifted some drums off the back of a U-Haul truck. Milo: “I didn’t know it at the time, but my juvenile delinquency actually led me to a place where I would find some direction in my life, and that direction was music!” Fast forward a few years Milo Z began rapping which eventually led to singing and song writing and becoming a frontman/band leader and the rest is history. Milo Z prides himself on his live show whether playing in a small club, a large amphitheater, or a corporate/private event. “It’s Milo Z’s goal to get everyone up on their feet dancing and feeling like they got lost for a while. Milo: Then I know I’ve done my job.” Milo Z has a huge catalogue of recorded music starting with his first record (Basic Need to Howl) released on the Mercury Polygram label back in 1994 and has continued dropping albums/Cd’s along with multiple singles on various labels and independently. He also has 2 live CD’s, "Live n' Bumpin" (recorded at the famous now defunct Tramps club in NYC) and "Milo Z Up On the Hill" Live in Athens, Greece which is also a DVD that was recorded at the Lycabettus Theater in Athens Greece! Milo Z has just dropped a few new singles, starting with Show Ya (Just One Chance) a classic old school R&B slow jam. We’re talking grown folks Baby Making Music yawl, in that retro Jodeci type vibe! Next Milo Z dropped "Stand Up" a rocking political song that describes how America has become such a divided nation! And most recently Milo just released "Old School Type of Love" a classic old school soul joint reminiscent of artist like Otis Redding and Al Green. Milo Z has also recently collaborated with singer Traedonya, the uptown boogie down funk soul queen on a song called "Ghetto Beat Down" which will come out this July! This song also features the up-and-coming rap artist out of Coney Island Lil Dee, so be on the lookout for it and follow us on Spotify or wherever you get your music! Milo Z continues to perform regularly in the New York/metro area as well as abroad. To see him in action is to experience a true entertainer. Whether it’s directing his band, dancing like a mad man, or doing call and response with the audience, to watch Milo Z and his band in action is to experience something unique and original. Next time you visit a Milo Z show, prepare to be Razzamofunked! Milo Z has performed or shared bills with many great artists over the years. The list is long but here are some: Al Greene, Chuck Brown, Maceo Parker, The Nevil Brothers, The Meters, Bernie Worrel, The Family Stone, Lou Reed The Spin Doctors, Massive Attack, The Average White Band, KRS One, Robert Randolph, and Fred Wesley to name a few.
