Jonathan Moore

About Me

“Music was my only outlet," says Jonathan Moore, a singer/songwriter/producer from Newport News, VA. If you would take the melodic stylings of mid 50’s rhythm and blues, mix that with the lyrical dynamics of soul, jazz, hip hop and a little reggae, and then top that off with the story telling elements of folk, you might come up with the recipe for Jonathans unique style of writing and composition. “I grew up in a very conservative family. I was never allowed to listen to the radio, so if I wanted to hear music I had to make it myself.” So for over the past decade, that is exactly what he has done. In 2008, equipped with his acoustic guitar, heartfelt lyrics, inspiring messages, sandpaper raspy voice, and humble approach, Jonathan began to draw the attention of audiences and critics across America.
Jonathan Moore has been touring in support of his 6 track EP, “Lessons Learned, Loves’ Lost” with songs such as “Sunlight” and “Bridges Burning” considered to be only a taste of the anticipated full length album expected late 2008.

Influences:

When Jonathan was really young he always listened to the classics. Then, he heard Boyz to Men on the radio singing the cover to "In the Still of the Night," which turned him onto the sound of R&B. In high school, Jonathan started listening to a wide variety of music. A few of them being Sublime, Dave Matthews, Blood Hound Gang, Weezer, Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, and Staind. All those genres of music helped him create his own style.

Jonathan says, "I love writing ballads but at the same time I love writing a good jam you can bob your head to." His recent influences are Damien Rice, Citizen Cope, John Mayer, and a few other acoustic artists. Every song that he has written has been either about a girl that he has dated or about an event that altered his life. Now, having a daughter has also exposed to Jonathan a whole new world of inspiration for his song writing. Take your time and listen to the lyrics of the songs. The best part about Jonathan's songs is that they allows the listeners to interpret their own meaning and impact their own lives in a unique way.
