Most producers spend years chasing one big break. Sergiu Cociorva, the Moldova-born artist behind Zizzo World, is watching several arrive at once. After years of grinding in bedroom studios from New York to London, the pieces are finally clicking into place in ways that suggest he’s not just having a moment, he’s building momentum.
The numbers tell part of the story. Support from Tiësto, David Guetta, and Calvin Harris. Second place in Spinnup’s Dance Banger competition, judged by Topic. “Roller coaster” hitting No.4 on Spotify’s Top 50 in Latvia. But what makes Zizzo World interesting right now isn’t just the wins, it’s that he’s leveraging them into something bigger. He’s running two labels (One Mood Music and Enjoy Record), producing for other artists, and still pushing his own sound in new directions.

Case in point: “Body Moving,” his new Afro House track with EARTH VOX LABEL, which dropped November 28. It’s a 2:46 blend of afro rhythms and deep grooves that shows a producer confident enough to step outside his EDM and pop-house comfort zone. The move’s paying off. Blogs and curators are responding positively, and more importantly, it’s opening doors. He’s got a February release coming through Sundle Records via Warner Music Italy, with at least five more releases planned for 2026 and his first full album in the works.

This didn’t happen overnight. Zizzo World picked up an accordion at 4, smashed countless brooms pretending they were guitars, played in a college band called Broken Paddle, and started producing in Logic Pro after moving to New York in 2008. Since then, it’s been almost daily work in whatever studio space he could carve out. These days that’s a bedroom setup in London, where he’ll sometimes wake up at 2 AM because inspiration doesn’t keep office hours.
What stands out is how realistic he is about the process. He’s upfront about managing expectations, trusting the grind, and understanding that teams can fall apart if people don’t believe in the timeline. He stopped singing before COVID to focus on production, a practical choice that freed him up to build the infrastructure he needed. Now he’s got two labels, artists he’s working with under both imprints, and enough momentum to start thinking bigger.

The music itself pulls from everywhere he’s been. Moldova, New York, London, all the collaborations with different artists and personalities along the way. He’s not chasing perfection, he’s chasing sincerity, trying to add value with each release. It’s working because it feels genuine rather than calculated.
His goal goes beyond streams or chart positions. He wants to create spaces where people connect, whether that’s with themselves or with each other. It’s ambitious, but he’s got the work ethic to back it up. Five releases next year, the first album, ongoing projects for artists under his two labels, he’s treating 2026 like someone who’s done the work and is ready to capitalize on it. With the infrastructure in place and the momentum already rolling, Zizzo World isn’t hoping for breaks anymore. He’s making them happen.
