Reviews

"I have never been touched so many times, deep inside, until I listened to the words of the High Priest, or maybe I have..."

Jenna Jameson

"Some mathematical equations can be a real cunt, but once touched deep inside by the High Priest all comes clear."

Stephen Hawking

When I woke up this morning I heard a disturbing sound!

I said, when I woke up this morning I heard a disturbing sound! What I heard, was the jingle jangle of a thousand souls. Ten years of X Factor, my the devil has been hard at work. The nation voting Tory, boy Beelzebub has been a busy boy. But brothers and sisters, I wanna free ya, I want you to be free…

Are you ready to feel the love?
Are you ready to be touched deep inside?
Are you ready to see God?

The High Priest is a comedian and musician, but furthermore an entertainer different from any other you have seen before…

“Providing much needed counter balance in this age of unrivalled officially sanctioned deceit, The High Priest relentlessly drops sweet truth bomb beats into the camps of the mainstream deceivers!”
Craig Allan Campbell – Comedian

Motta is no stranger to the entertainment industry, having spent half his youth on hollywood film sets with a father who has won two oscars and a bafta award. But this wasn’t his calling…

Auspiciously Motta began his musical career with one of the last true rock and roll, maverick managers, Stevo Pearce (Bizzare Records), producing the album ‘Picture That’ to critical acclaim, released on legendary label Some Bizzare.

“Eminem meets Dylan on literate rapping debut from young British beatnik. Motta is a smart young man who’s latched on to the idea that Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues was the first rap record.”
UNCUT Magazine

Propelled and amplified by his scorn for the noxious media landscape, governments, illegal wars, pornography, abortion, racism, religion, hypocrisy and more (there’s quite an extensive list!), he felt the need to convert. Motta joined the priesthood of comedy becoming the self appointed ‘High Priest’ combining mirth and music to touch you deep inside!

“This man knows no fear” Steve Lamacq BBC Radio

Nobody is safe. Controversy is no stranger to The High Priest and he wears it well, in fact he would be probably be lost without it. Like a one man Rage Against the Machine with jokes he savagely sinks his teeth into subjects where other acts rarely tread, and where some wouldn’t even know how.

“(The High Priest is)… Like an x-rated musical version of,
‘Have I Got News For You’.”
Jim Ody – Room Thirteen
