OZA
Rooted between Brooklyn and Los Angeles, OZA is a DJ, producer, and founder of the acclaimed queer party and multimedia platform TUNNEL, cultivating a forward-facing sound and connecting emerging artists with the wider world. His sets skillfully fuse propulsive percussion and erotic techno tension with trance-laced rhythms and expansive electronic textures. Unbound by strict genre lines, OZA channels an instinctive, kinetic sensibility that shapes both his artistry and the evolving sonic identity of TUNNEL. His performances span institutions such as Basement NY and FOLD London, as well as appearances at notable international festivals. With co-signs from Gucci, Lady Gaga, FKA twigs, and leading voices throughout the global underground, OZA’s world remains high-impact, high-frequency, and unmistakably his own.
