Creating a powerful message through music is the signature trait of singer-songwriter Tquan Moore. His performances are intimate and yet effective in concert settings of all sizes and kinds. Moore has set himself apart from the typical acoustic songwriter with a heart that is powerfully connected with God's purpose in his life, pouring himself out to God, opening the door for all who experience his ministry to do the same.
Tquan (pronounced twan) started writing and performing music 15 years ago while he was still a youth pastor. In 2007, Moore answered the call in his heart to step out in faith and pursue God's plan for himself and his family. Joining God in His plan to transform lives through the power of Jesus Christ, Tquan stepped down from his position as youth minister and stepped into the studio to record his first album, 'All I Need'.
The results have proved Moore's heart call as he has garnered Conversant Life's Indie Artist award twice, shared the stage with notable Christian artists like Hawk Nelson, Sanctus Real and Grits. He performs an average of 100 dates each year including appearances at SoulLink and Winterfest. His tour dates take him from Texas to Florida, Tennessee to Kansas and beyond. He is a regular at coffee houses, wine Bars, house concerts, youth camps, and church events across the nation.
““I always kind of wondered about just doing music,” Moore said. “In the back of my mind there was always this ‘what if?’ I love to sing, I love to write music, so, what if?”
“What if” became “can do” after a meeting with a management company for independent artists, the Houston and Nashville-based Indie Extreme.”
