MOSES MO
I am the original and founding member of the legendary funk rock group Mother’s Finest. I’ve been a part of a group for 40 years and the group of brothers and sisters have been very good to me. I’ve always been a songwriter, musician, and performer since I was 14 years old. I’ve invested my entire life to a group and now, I’m looking to build a brand of my own with my songs, my talents as an engineer and a producer, I’ve always been a part of the process, NOW . . . it’s all up to me. I have a vocal range of my own and ideas to develop and discover more of what I can do.
My first solo release, CARTOON YOU was a self released project completed with the help of many friends, John Kovach (engineer & keyboards), Carl Carlton (guitarist & songwriter), Pascal Kravitz (Keyboards & vocals), Andrew Black (guitarist, vocals, songwriter), Steve Stone (guitarist, mandolin), Caroline Aiken (Vocals, guitarist, songwriter), Kerry Denton (drummer, vocals), Harold Seay (percussionist), Jerry Seay (bass), Joyce Kennedy (vocals), Glenn Murdock (vocals), Eric Frampton (keyboards), Jamie Russell (harmonica), Mark Hogan (bass), Bertram Engel (drums), Johnnetta Johnson (vocals, songwriter).
My next solo release was more focused, went through a lot of drummers to find the one who inspired me to complete the project Kenny Soule (Nantucket, DAG, Walter Trout), he also introduced me to a bass player who became a dear friend and consultant on almost everything I continue to write, his input is priceless, Ivan “Funkboy” Bodley (Sam Moore, broadway, and Russian Wedding Specialist). A long list of drummers including Sean O’Rourke (Sugarland), Joey Williams (Justin Beiber, BoysToMen), Gabe Frankle (young, wet behind the ears, wildman), Kevin Wyglad (local studio talent, broadcast entrepreneur), Martin Huch on slide guitar, Claude Leek (metal, lead guitar), ZeroBasement (local rap talent, lyricist), Tomi Rocker (vocals, my baby) and my long time friend and former drummer in Mothers Finest Kerry Denton.
A live performance group was created which included Kerry Denton, Mikey Long, ZeroBasement, and EV Johnson (the most recently added member, helping on background vocals, percussion) Although the majority of the songs are still created by myself, these people continue to inspire me with their creativity and spirit. ZeroBasement continues to add a relative perspective and youthful voice to the songs I’ve written. All drum tracks are either by Kerry Denton or Kenny Soule, my desire is to have both drummers included in the live performance. I may have been born in the North but I’ve grown into the man I am by living in the South. I love the rhythm section of The Allman Brothers! Mikey Long
has provided many bass tracks along with Ivan Bodley, a dream is to have both bass players also! Shoot, I’d have a 20 piece band if we could find a way to support it!
Every waking moment is a chance to record the moods and memories of humanity, with all the people who inspire me to be who I am.
