Who in your opinion is the modern day equivalent to Mozart?

Inspired by a post that popped on lemmy world today about Weird Al it got me thinking. I listed out a bunch of names but the one that I think fits the most would probably be Surfan Stevens. Who do you all think?

Well, Mozart was a composer, so I don't know what parallels you're drawing from to compare hin to Weird Al or Surfan [sic] Stevens. If we're talking strictly in terms of best living musicians, Joanna Newsom is probably the best songwriter of the past fifty years, and in my opinion, the second place isn't even close.
