Steadily working his way up the music ladder Sam Moore is fast becoming everyone's hot tip to officially make a big mark on the UK industry in 2006. Currently under the guidance of UB1 Music on an artist/project development program the UK's very own vocal heavyweight is soon to release his debut album "Splendid Isolation".
Sam Moore, who grew up at the tail end of a large Jamaican church-attending family in Manchester, England, was "born in church" with Sunday School and the choir as his hanging suites. And he remains forever grateful for the laid foundation, vocal training and so much more that this strict Church upbringing taught him.
This in turn has spurred a number of musical escapades. Sam's choir and backing vocal group memberships have allowed him to appear at UK-wide churches, concert halls and venues, including London's Olympia, Manchester's MEN Arena and The Apollo Theatre, in addition to television appearances for the BBC and ITV.
He has also had his fair share of song competition appearances including runner-up at the Midlands regional final for the GMTV/The Voice Gospel Challenge in 2001, Best Male runner-up in the National Finals of the Talk Gospel Radio Newcomer Awards in 2002, and was also nominated to receive the Best Male Artist Award at the Gospel Entertainment Music (GEM) Awards in 2003 and 2004. February 2004 saw Sam's US debut, where he wowed a collective audience of over 10,000 people in Los Angeles, California when he sang at The West Angeles Cathedral and also at Bishop Noel Jones', City of Refuge Church to wide and popular acclaim.

The limited radio promo release of his single "Breathe" (Autumn 2004) has seen the track gain support from right across the field by the likes of Nikki Tapper (BBC Radio WM), Dulcie Dixon (BBC Radio Leicester) DJ Fitz (BBC Radio 1 Xtra); Yinka A (UK Gospel.com); DJ El NiƱo (United by One); Grantly (Premier Radio); Roger Moore (Gospel Link Magazine/Divine Intavention); Tony Cummings (Cross Rhythms Magazine/Radio); and Tony Tomlin (New Nation Newspaper). The track was then picked as part of the official GEM Awards Vol. 1 compilation.
