He had a brief label affiliation with <a href="spotify:artist:7Ej52CNJlhlwWROkrcjKLL">GS Boyz</a> in the late 2000s, which dissolved when the project split. He then carved a path as a songwriter for hire, including writing the 2013 Curtis Moore single "Lipstick" before releasing his own debut EP, Drums & Heartbeats. It arrived on Valentine's Day of 2014. In the meantime, he had co-written a reworking of <a href="spotify:artist:46CH1Gp8l8QVly8bpG9JFG">Anita Baker</a>'s "Sweet Love" called "Street Love," which became the debut single for British boy band and X Factor finalists <a href="spotify:artist:3ttNYyqtxgsIcFxRhQzR1I">Rough Copy</a>. Released by <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Epic%22">Epic</a> in June 2014, it reached the Top 30 of the U.K.'s R&B singles chart. Later that year, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Top+Notch+Music%22">Top Notch Music</a> released Moore's stand-alone single "Let's Fly." His second EP, Irregular, followed via <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22341+Music+Group%22">341 Music Group</a> in 2016. A year later, Moore was featured on the Swagger Splash tune "Around Me," and he self-released his full-length solo debut, Write My Wrongs, in 2018. ~ Marcy Donelson, Rovi
