“As an artist, I’d to be viewed as a woman who is agile.  I’m flexible and can bend with the times.  I think music and artistry is much like the human spirit.  It is ever-evolving and there’s no one right way to do it.  I’d like to be an ever-evolving artist, because I’m an ever-evolving woman.”  –

No truer words that describe not only the mission of an artist. But, a mission statement of life. And words you can expect to hear form the multi talented and most importantly ever evolving artist herself, LaShaun Phoenix Moore. One of Detroits most respected and revered artists. Moore, who also capably Raps as well as being an adept poet, has built her reputation through earnest tenacity and continual growth.” I’ve been singing since I was child.  I fused music in with poetry for about thirteen or fourteen years and I’ve been performing as a vocalist for about 7 years now.  Music has been my greatest form of escapism.  It’s how I move through life.”  ,says Moore whos performances are events that involve the audience as participant rather than spectator. You feel her performances and root for her as a sister would. A tribute to a performer who respects her audience and gies her all to make each performance count. Reminiscent of other performers such as Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and Ledisi, Moore delivers. “Musically, I’m most influenced by Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder and new-schooler Anderson Paak”.,It is hard to distinguish who appreciates whom more, Phoenix of her supporters, or her audience of her. Her growth as an artist has propelled her on a path of greatness as well as in, the path of greatness. “I’ve had the chance to work with some incredible hometown heroes like L’Renee and Monica Blaire.  Working with them allowed me to share stages with Anthony Hamilton, Kem, Ledisi and Gladys Knight.  I’ve also had the chance to perform at the Fox Theater twice.”

And she is more than capable of holding down a stage or two on her own. Her 2015 release “Anthem” and its subsequent release performance and party received glowing reviews from not just the captive audience. But from Detroit magazine Metro Times, who describe her album as  “Not typical.  And, it takes chances with sound, lyrics, and language . But the combination succeeds because she is such an extremely versatile artist.”, She is as hardworking  as she is talented, a incredible combination that yields immaculate results. In an industry where talent is often overlooked, Moore is a welcome change of paste. “What I love most about the industry is that in spite of whatever preconceived notions people have, it’s never too late to get started and it’s never too late be impactful.  Good art impacts.  I spend less time focusing on what makes me uncomfortable about the industry because I’m only down to attract goodness.  Focusing on the negative things only draw them to you.  I’m good on that.”

Ever the optimist, LaShaun is every bit the person she is evolving to be. Great to be assimilated into your greatness LaShaun.. – Terry Martin
