The world is watching as Moliy shakes up the industry, and we’re strapped in for the ride! This Ghanaian-American powerhouse has been crafting her sound, breaking boundaries, and redefining what it means to be an Afrofusion artist. From humble beginnings in Accra to global acclaim, her journey is nothing short of spectacular.
Born Molly Ama Montgomery, Moliy grew up in Ghana, where music was an integral part of her surroundings. Influenced by the rich musical traditions of West Africa, she nurtured a deep love for rhythms, melodies, and artistic expression. The real magic began when she moved to South Florida at 18 years old, soaking in the diverse sonic landscape and shaping her genre-blending sound.
Moliy’s big break came when she featured on Amaarae’s viral hit “Sad Girlz Luv Money”, alongside Kali Uchis. The song not only put her on the map but became a worldwide anthem, proving that her distinctive voice was exactly what the industry needed. Suddenly, everyone was asking: Who is Moliy, and what’s next?
Fast forward to 2024, and Moliy took things to the next level with her chart-topping banger, “Shake It to the Max (FLY).” Collaborating with Jamaican dancehall producer Silent Addy, she crafted an electrifying hit that set TikTok ablaze. Fans everywhere recreated dance challenges, pushing the song to millions of streams.
Then came the ultimate twist—Moliy linked up with Skillibeng and Shenseea for an explosive remix, injecting pure Caribbean fire into the track. The response? Absolute pandemonium.
Moliy recently posted about Vybz Kartel, sparking speculation that a collaboration might be in the works. The dancehall legend, fresh off his return to the global stage, was seen interacting with Moliy after her performance in the U.S., even hinting at a visit to Ghana. Fans are buzzing with excitement—could this be the next major fusion of Afrobeats and dancehall?
Moliy’s artistry is deeply rooted in Afrobeats, highlife, and global fusion sounds. She draws inspiration from West African rhythms, blending them with Caribbean dancehall, R&B, and electronic elements to create a sound that is uniquely hers.
Her ability to experiment with different genres has made her one of the most exciting voices in Afrofusion today.
Moliy is gearing up for a massive year ahead! She’s set to perform at City Splash 26th May 2025, one of the biggest celebrations of Caribbean and African music in London. With new music in the works and potential collaborations with Tems, Rema, and Jorja Smith, she’s poised to take her sound to even greater heights.
So, Shakers, keep your eyes peeled—because this is just the beginning!
