In 2019 I boldly debut My EP Alive announcing the arrival of my style of alternative music. I am a musician ,songwriter, producer, vocalist and a self-taught drummer raised in Texas and the Los Angeles. In high school I found myself playing with Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Dean Pleasants, and driven by a serious dedication to craft, and issuing a challenge to myself, I left home to come to Los Angeles as a young drummer and vocalist performing with my own band. Expanding as an artist, I taught myself to play the bass and soon after played along side Alternative recording artist Trae for Cabana Boy Records. Touring with Trae the driving bass became my signature sound. I then decided to go abroad traveling overseas I continued writing, honing my skills on tour as drummer and vocalist performing onstage in Hungary and Greece. While in Europe I continued to hone in on his skills by working with many talented musicians and producers which allowed me to expand my visions musically. Upon returning stateside, I connected with my close friend songwriter/producer/vocalist Dimi Sloane. Together we formed Dreams4Sale a darkly intoxicating 1960’s influenced sonic tour de force. The band performed a haunting psychedelic fusion of Rock and Funk thrilling packed houses at The Viper Lounge, The El Rey, The House of Blues and a performance at The Black Coalition Concert. While with Dreams4sale, I was recruited to the Rock collective Venrez as co-producer instilling a refreshing take on the band’s distilled 1970’s style sound. Many have said they see comparisons in me to Lenny Kravitz and Prince who are among who are I might add my greatest inspirations. Now I turn the page on a new chapter with my soon to be released debut album “Alive”! recorded at Demiurge Sound in Los Angeles, mixed and mastered by sensational producer Arnold Vigh at Silverhill Studios in Budapest Hungary and polished off by the amazing producing genius of Adrian Andres ...... The album features cutting edge tracks ranging from 70’s British Rock influenced haunting ballads to inspirational choral harmonies. This current sound is derived from my true life experiences whilst living in Europe for the past 3 years. And, I would’t of had it any other way! I am so excited with the sound and energy this album brings and I appreciate the organic approach within our recording process , Adrian allowed me to shine through the ins and outs of the material and he captured my moments superbly! 2019 Freemoor ALIVE
From me music is power of a higher understanding in my life. Music has helped create lives and music has helped remember lives. I also know music has helped he's our emotions doing high and low times in life a music has bought cultures in groups together. I finally have learned that my journey in life is based upon my need to create and share.. It's time I wake up I realize why I'm breathing and I feel very privileged and fortunate to be able to create music for others around the world.. If I can touch someone I motivate someone even inspire someone musically then for me, all of my talents are well-served.. there's other people. For me my journey is not about fortune and fame but more about respect and legacy and this is my pledge as a music artist.
My dream is to be able to perform on tours sharing my music around the world and to have some of my recordings in movie soundtracks commercials and tv ads. My dream also is 2 create a foundation that would enable other unfortunate kids to have opportunities to create music wherever they are located around the globe.
I start with changing myself and try to improve on the things I know I face each day and try to inspire others to look at others equally and to respect others different cultures different views and different beliefs but to encourage them to respect us as one human race.

I'm inspired to create music because I feel I was born with a view of the world which is an artistic mindset and also I felt I need to share my life experiences but then my music with all who would listen.. I'm also inspired by certain artists who had amazing journeys that I can sincerely relate to and it helps to keep me going do the ups and downs this journey..
My message is to encourage everyone who has something to say and encourage people to never give up on their dream and think life over throughout the process . The other message is to express and don't be afraid to just be yourself through your music .
I feel most alive when I'm performing on stage in front of a audience I feel I am home I feel that my energy resonates from the stage into the audience and from the audience back to the stage I feel that I'm most powerful when I can express myself in a live concert
Well as far as improvements my thoughts of course or my own opinion but I feel that a lot of the new artists who are coming out might think they have to create music in a certain format to a piece the masses I say treat the music s you feel it and take more creative control of your masters and don't feel you have to give everything away to be relevant. You need more independent artist to know that their hard work and Creation in brand should have the highest consideration before negotiating to give any of this away. Better Business knowledge for the music artists is certainly warranted .
I'm new to drooble and honestly from the very moment I saw the different formats and structure I felt comfortable what's uploading my music and I like the different options that you offer and I filled ruble will play a major role in my process I'm being more visible to the public I want to applaud you and this is the reason why I joined I'm very pleased with your company
I can't say there's a certain level of frustration but there's certainly a lot of concerns considering that most AR best music sometimes goes unheard based upon circumstances.. from financial to marketing Etc there are plenty of setbacks that can frustrate you when you know and feel you have something you want to share but are limited in your reach to share it.. House of feel frustrated that a lot of us are not appreciated and people don't really understand what it takes for us to bring the final product to life they don't know the process or may not understand the process in the commitment that it takes to create I'm music so frustrations stem from low pay and performances all the way up to stereotypes or certain protocols that must be satisfied before you you are looked at especially by certain companies . We know it is the music business but we are musicians and we are creating some amazing material.. I feel though I may have frustrations I also need to overcome them and keep pushing forward because this is my journey and at the end I will have no excuse I can only give my best and I can only give my best if I truly believe in myself which I do so I take the frustration also with the happiness and do the best I can
to be honest I have not had a chance to support the local scene here in Dallas because I have not been here long and I won't be staying long on a personal note I've only came to Dallas to aid my ailing mother with her medical issues. I've made attempts to catch a few bands here in Dallas but to be honest that's as far as I've been able to go knowing that I would not be staying in Dallas very long and my sights are set on a more international location musically but all in all I support all new music artist independent artist and I still love artists who have been around in our continue to perform..
I believe a artist should have a quality of wanting to work hard and not just feel that creating the music is all that is needed especially if you're independent artist you must educate yourself and also take on the role of marketing strategist music artist and more it's not just creating the music these days that will get you noticed as an independent artist you're called upon to do the things that record labels used to do and if you want to call yourself an independent artist this is what we have to do and we have to educate ourselves on how to do it and put extra work into getting yourself out there in the market we know no one's going to do it for you unless you're financially able to hire someone or firm to do these things that are needed and I know it's not easy because as musicians we want to focus only on the music but unfortunately that is not the case in today's paradigm
