Based in Portugal, HOZHO, also known as Joel Monteiro, has been a pioneer of Melodark since 2015. What started as a personal expression has evolved into an artistic movement that resonates with fans worldwide. For HOZHO, Melodark isn’t just a sound—it’s a way of life. His music, filled with emotional depth and motivational storytelling, takes listeners on an unforgettable journey through his unique sonic world. HOZHO has performed at prestigious festivals such as Mystic Garden Festival, Baum Festival, Seismic Dance Event, and Carl Cox's Fabrik 20 party, gaining international recognition for his exceptional sound and remarkable stage presence. Drawing inspiration from classical composers like Hans Zimmer and Ludovico Einaudi, HOZHO blends these influences with the raw energy of breakbeat rhythms. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in tracks that often exceed seven minutes, offering listeners a narrative-driven experience. "Honey Trap," with over 14 million views on YouTube, showcases his ability to blend serene melodies with dark, driving basslines. Unlike many artists who rely on repetitive beats, HOZHO crafts each track as a standalone story, creating music that is immersive and thought-provoking.
