Singer-songwriter MoZella will tour this Fall in anticipation of the release of her debut album "I Will, " which is due out November 7th on Warner Bros. Records. Previously opening for Daniel Powter, Lifehouse and the Dave Matthews Band, this nine-date tour with Stephen Kellogg, launches October 11th in Baltimore, MD, and culminates October 20th in Ann Arbor, MI. It will stop at clubs across the country, giving audiences a chance to preview material from the 24-year-old Detroit native's upcoming debut album, including the first single "Amnesia."

MoZella, who has already released a self-titled five-song EP on Maverick in July 2005, is fast becoming known for her idiosyncratic approach to songwriting. On "I Will, " which was produced by fellow singer-songwriter Jude Cole, MoZella layers acoustic guitar melodies over spare programmed beats and tops it off with her soulful, jazz-inflected vocals. Some listeners may be familiar with her ballad "Amazed, " which was featured in a Mercedes-Benz commercial for the company's high-profile "Framed Portraits" campaign. In addition, MoZella's songs have been used in episodes of the WB's television series "One Tree Hill" and the NBC dramas "Las Vegas" and "Inconceivable."
