Don Moore

Born Donald Moore Jr. on October 19, 1988 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Don Moore fell in love with music at an early age and began playing the piano and organ at 5 years old. His first performance was at the age of 7, where he played the organ in concert at the New Friendship Baptist Church. Although he names Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Bootsy Collins, James Brown, Prince and Ludacris as his predominant musical influences, Don’s earliest inspiration was his cousin Akil Kontar. It was Kontar who first introduced Don Moore to the imaginative and ever-changing world of hip-hop music production. Traveling to and from Kontars studio in Dayton, Don soon taught himself how to write bars, create beats and produce his own music. At the age of 14 Don Moore was introduced to bass legend and funk icon Bootsy Collins through a youth music program called R.O.O.T.S. (Realizing Our Own Talents and Skills), created by Collins himself. Since meeting, Bootsy and Don Moore formally Swavay have worked together on a variety of musical projects and have formed a lasting relationship which has enabled Don Moore to work alongside other artists such as Buckethead, Freakbass, Snoop Dogg and DJ Hi-Tek. Don Moore has also worked on production projects for Pepsi, Playstation, and the Cincinnati Bengals. More recently, Don Moore formally “Swavay” was featured on Bootsy Collins 2011 song, Hip Hop @ Funk U, alongside rap legends Ice Cube and Chuck D. On the other hand 2019 Don Moore was featured on Bootsy Collins ‘Z- Classified’ alongside Buckethead.

A truly original artist, Don Moore is working harder than ever to combine his extensive musical experience, industry connections and growing fan base, to achieve his life-long dream of becoming an international musical sensation and entrepreneur.
