Bio:: 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 second 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”) was publicly unveiled in mid-December 2010. Expatriates launched with a limited release via digital channels on March 15, 2011, the heavily pre-sold CD following in rolling wide release on Monday, April 11, 2011. ------------------------ Patsy Moore has been compared stylistically to The Album Leaf, American Football, Laurie Anderson, Anthony and The Johnsons, Joan Armatrading, David Bazan, Bon Iver, Kate Bush, Paula Cole, Nick Drake, Fever Ray, William Fitzsimmons, Julia Fordham, Frou Frou, Peter Gabriel, Jo Hamilton, Imogen Heap, Iron & Wine, Annie Lennox, Mélissa Leveaux, Aimee Mann, Sarah McLachlan, Joni Mitchell, Alexi Murdoch, Owl City, Owen Pallett, Pedro the Lion, Sam Phillips, Paul Simon, Sufjan Stevens, The Swell Season, and Toad the Wet Sprocket.
