I haven't, at least not until yesterday. I heard great things about her CD, Complex Simplicity, and although it did come out a few years ago it's still a great find. I mean, really how easy is it to find great music these days? The market is oversaturated with watered down music, weak lyrics, and studio voices so umm...yeah, it's pretty hard to find new music if you are stuck inside of the "matrix" so to speak. But that's another topic.

This type of music is what my blog is all about! There are artists out here that ya'll are sleeping on that got fire records either now or back in the day that you've never heard of or will here much about!

Who is this?

Teedra Moses was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana to a gospel singer mother, Shirley Moses. She later moved to Los Angeles, California with her mother and three siblings after her parents' separation.

Prior to becoming a recording artist, Moses worked with her best friend Nonja McKenzie as an assistant wardrobe stylist for artists such as Will Smith, Kelis, R. Kelly, and No Doubt. It was after breaking her leg on a video set that Moses decided to follow her heart and begin making music.

Following this epiphany, Moses teamed up with producer, Paul Poli and signed with the Number 1 Indie Record Label, TVT Records to release her debut album Complex Simplicity in August 2004. Complex Simplicity included fourteen tracks all self-penned by Moses with dominant production by Poli; which lead to the well deserved executive production credit by both Moses & Poli. The album underperformed on the U.S. chart, debuting and peaking at number one hundred and sixty-eight on the Billboard 200. However, the album was “Critically Acclaimed” and otherwise found success on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, the Top Independent Albums, and the Top Heatseekers, reaching number twenty, number eleven, and number ten, respectively.

Where can I find more information?
