Ok, so, this is the page on a bands website where you would normally find a brief biography of the artist. Usually this would be written in third person, telling you how amazingly talented they are and about all of the wonderful things that they have done….

I’ve decided not to bother with that and just tell you a bit about myself instead.

Hi, my name is Simon Mosley. I’m a family man in my mid thirties, with a full time day job and a diabetic cat to look after. I enjoy outdoor activities, especially Mountain biking and Surfing. I love food, BBQ is probably my favorite and I love films, all types of films and quite a few TV series too. Somewhere alongside these things I also find time to make a bit of music, which after all is most probably the reason you came to this website in the first place.

Since the end of 2007 I’ve been doing a solo project, going by the name Only Moses.

The first thing to tell you about this is that technically it would be classified as a “One Man Band,” however I don’t much like this description because it immediately makes me think of an old bloke strutting round with a bass drum on his back. Now I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with that, but it’s just not what I do.

So instead of referring to myself as a one man band I’m currently going under the title:

“Solo Blues Rock Band With A Funky Ska Hop Twist!”

Sounds it bit cooler than “One Man Band” doesn’t it? Well I think it does anyway and to be honest it pretty much sums up what Only Moses is all about. So maybe I should elaborate on that a bit.

Solo

Well that just tells you that it’s me, on my own, with no one else sticking their ore in and to be honest that’s the way I like it.

Blues Rock

This is probably the main style that most of my music would come under.

Band

This usually implies more than one person, but in my case this means more than one instrument. Usually I play drums, bass, guitar and vocals and because I play them all at the same time it sounds kinda like a full band.

With A Funky Ska Hop Twist

Even though my main style is Blues Rock, along with this I occasionally drop in elements of other styles including Funk, Ska and Hip-Hop, just because I like them.

Over the past few years I’ve played loads of different types of gigs, from the usual pub and club shows, to charity events and festivals. There have been house concerts, beach parties, busking and BBQ’s and they’ve all had their good and bad points. But all in all I just love playing and I plan to keep on doing as many different types of gigs and playing to as many different audiences as I can.

So far I’ve recorded one full album and one EP and I’m currently working on my next full album, which I’m hoping to release in the summer of 2012. I write, perform, record, produce and master all of my own material. I also design the artwork and print and burn the CD’s and inlays myself. For me this makes the whole thing more personal and I enjoy doing it that way.

I don’t know what else to tell you. I do what I can, when I can and try to fit it in with the rest of my life. Would I like to do this full time and become a huge internationally successful artist? Yeah coarse I would, but with a family, a full time job, a diabetic cat, surfing, mountain biking, films, TV and BBQ’s, that’s probably not likely to happen any time soon. So for now I’ll just keep on doing what I’m doing and enjoy the ride.

Thanks for taking an interest, all the best

Simon (Only Moses)
