Darron Moore was born on January

 16, 1958 in Washington D.C. He grew

 up in Detroit, Michigan. This

talented R&B singer continues to

 demonstrate his unique ability as

 a record producer and song stylist

 capable of interpreting material

from literally every part of the

musical spectrum. Darron Moore

covers songs by The Temptations,

Benny Mardonnes, Evelyn

Champaign King, Sade, Maroon 5,

and even Madonna.

 

From the age of three, the

 entertainment bug bit Darron

Moore. He would enjoy putting on

 impromptu shows in the family

living room and singing on the

street corner with his friends.

Darron grew in musical maturity.

Writing, recording, and performing

 music, with love as a central lyrical

 theme, has been at the core of

Darron Moore’s work. During his

teenage years, Darron Moore began

 singing with local bands and

gaining the kind of on-stage

experience that provided a strong

 foundation for his emergence as a

 recording and performing artist.

Growing up experiencing and being

 apart of the Motown sound, ‘The

Sound of Young America,” Darron

Moore has embedded the Spirit of

 Motown. It reflects in his live

 performances.

 

Influenced by artists such as Marvin

 Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops,

 The Fantastic Four, Lamont Dozier,

 Smokey Robinson, The Supremes,

and other great performers, Darron

 Moore has developed his own style

 and unique flavor.

 

Darron Moore has formed and

 performed with a number of bands,

‘The Sons of Soul’, a band he

organized in elementary school,

 ‘The Exceptions’, which was a High

 School R&B group which later began

 a gospel group, and currently, as of 1973, Darron Moore and The 14th

Floor.

 

After 1973, Darron Moore started

 performing as a solo artist. The name

 of his band was, The 14th Floor.

 Fourteen musicians made up The

14th Floor. The band consisted of

the bass, lead guitar, drummer, two

 keyboard players, two violinists, a

 percussionist, Sax, French horn,

 Trombone, and three background

 singers. The band has since

changed formats over the years.

 

His father, the late visionary, Leroy

 Moore, managed Darron. Leroy

Moore named the band. Leroy Moore

 had an office in the prominent

Detroit Renaissance Center in

downtown Detroit on the 14th Floor.

At that time, many high profile

Detroit Companies had offices on

the 14th Floor. If you needed

something, you went UP to the 14th

 Floor to make it happen…, even if

 you were on the 40th floor!

 

Leroy Moore believed that his band,

 Darron Moore and the 14th Floor,

like the companies on the 14th floor

of the Detroit Renaissance Center,

 should be high profile and upscale.

Therefore, at his insistence, Darron

 Moore and the 14th Floor has

always remained to this present

day, one of the most entertaining,

 best dressed, and most celebrated

 bands in Detroit.

 

Darron Moore and The 14th Floor

 Discography include Love’s Flight,

 Love’s Flight Reflections, Darron

Moore and The 14th Floor Live!,

and A Real Christmas, Forever, For

 Always, For Luther, Undercover, and

 Night On The Town.

 

Darron Moore continues to grow. He

 is an executive record producer and

 songwriter with his own

independent label, Dana Day

Records. Moreover, he is now

promoting and organizing concerts

 for public and private events.

 

Known as Detroit’s favorite Son,

 Darron continues stand high ‘UP

ON THE 14TH FLOOR!’
