NMNJ Artist of the Week: Rob Moss

Rob Moss is a singer songwriter, and most importantly an artist! Growing up on the rough streets of Detroit MI, Rob developed a love for performing and started writing music at the age of 8. Currently about to release his full length project “Lover Loner Stoner” dropping March 15th, 2015, accompanied by a performance at The Apollo Theatre March 25th, 2015.

My goal is to make music that people of all ages, ethnicities and communities can enjoy. My signature harmonies are always a part of my sound, production that speaks and lyrics that resonate in the listeners heart and mind and harmonies that ooze with the influence of the 90’s. His sound is current yet nostalgic. “I write all my music and arrange the vocals, and my writing comes from a place of truth. If I write it, I’ve either experienced it or would like to experience it. When people ask what current artist I compare myself too, I think for a minute, and then realize that it’s nobody. I’m working on developing my own sound, and creating something authentic”.

Influences: Dr. Dre, Lauryn Hill, The Temptations, Kanye West, Brandy, Pharrell Williams, Stevie Wonder, Missy Elliott, Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Balil.
