ABOUT PATSY MOORE
Patsy Moore is an award-winning, critically acclaimed singer/songwriter, poet and essayist, filmmaker, film and television score composer, and occasional humanities lecturer, who lives in Los Angeles, California.
The elder daughter of a North American career military father and West Indian educator mother, Moore's creative endeavors have been culled from a multicultural upbringing, persistent curiosity, and inventive mind. Her family relocated frequently when she was a child. As a result of that experience, her music has always employed diverse influences—including African and Caribbean rhythms, folk, soul, Latin, rock, pop and funk.
Moore moved from Chapel Hill, North Carolina to Nashville, Tennessee in 1988. Her distinctive songwriting and engaging vocal style gained rapid attention on famed Music Row and, before long, her tune "Talk About Life" became the popular title track of Reunion Records artist Kim Hill's sophomore album. Moore was hired shortly thereafter as a staff writer at McSpadden Group and a record deal with Warner Bros. soon followed. Under the Warner imprint, Moore completed two projects—Regarding the Human Condition (1991) and the flower child's guide to love and fashion (1993).
Her self-produced The Most Private Confessions of Saint Clair: Studio Renderings was released in April 2008. Due to a series of formidable setbacks, including the artist's longtime battle with grave illness, the 11-song project took nearly five years to complete. Plans are currently underway to re-mix, re- master and re-release that work within the next 24 months.
Moore's latest is Expatriates, a concept album débuted via a two-day online listening party (in early March 2011) to immensely positive reception. The lead single ("I Love You") began rollout in mid- December 2010. Full release of Expatriates commenced March 15, 2011.
