You may have first heard Ms. Teedra Moses on the track "You'll never find" which generated some buzz in the hip-hop community. It might be surprising to know that this talented songstress doesn't have a record deal. Not all R & B she can easily be classified as a hip hop soul artist. Singing over what are considered pure hip-hop beats. She's already released an album titled "Complex Simplicity". My favorie tune "Be your girl". A girl with a simple crush. A simple theme, sung so well.
Teedra is originally from New Orleans, but moved to California in the mist of her parents seperation. She began honing her skills by writing new lyrics for already hit songs (a good example of this is "You already know" ft. lil wayne) She is not only an accomplished singer but has also penned hits for Christina Milian, Trina, Raphael Sadiqq, and the list continues.
She list some of her influences as Prince, Tina Marie, Mary J. Blige, and of course her mother Shirley Moses, whom she did a song for called "I think of you" (shirley's song). It begins with her and her mother singing a church song together, that then flows into a lovely tribute to her mother who passed away.
Look for her new album coming in 08'. She is also playing shows in New York right now so for those in the area go to her myspace page www.myspace.com/teedramoses to get all the info
