Musical career

Fernández's stage name is composed of two parts: "Mozart" refers to the fact that he would write songs early in his career for other artists, and “La Para” (To Stop) is Dominican slang meaning that refers to the fear his opponents would feel when the time came to freestyle face to face with him.

In 2002, Mozart began as a singer who used school money for studio sessions. But in 2007 his style, musical quality and immense talent took him to become a star of the Dominican rap scene. Mozart participated in the Battle of the Roosters "Red Bull 2008", after which which his musical career exploded with the song "Vamo en Dauran".

At the end of 2009, his musical career spread internationally with a three-month European tour. Months after this success, he arrived in the United States for a 45 show, two-month long tour. During his U.S. tour, he was presented as a special guest with the bachata group Aventura at the Izod Center in New Jersey to a crowd of over 20,000 people.

Just a week later, he traveled to Colombia for a promotional tour, becoming the first Dominican rapper to set foot on Colombian soil. This tour targeted Cali, Buenaventura and Cartagena.[1]

In 2016, Mozart La Para made history as the first signed artist under the Roc Nation Latin division headed by multi-award winning singer Romeo Santos. On the signing, Romeo Santos commented: “Mozart La Para has created his own signature style fusing urban and tropical music and has created a unique sound for himself.”

Mozart La Para is busy recording what will be his debut album between Dominican Republic, Miami, Puerto Rico and New York City. For his debut album, he is experimenting with new sounds but still staying true to his signature style.

Mozart La Para has also since released an array of successful singles including collaborations with Daddy Yankee andJustin Quiles among others. [2]
