Denai Moore is a British-Jamaican artist and singer who rose to prominence as a guest vocalist on SBTRKT's 2014 album Wonder Where We Land. She released her first album Elsewhere in 2015 and her second album We Used To Bloom was released in 2017.[1] She has been described as "one to watch out for" by The Fader.[2]

Moore was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica, where she started to learn to play keyboard from her father. Her family moved to Stratford, London when she was 10.[3] After she left school, she played in small clubs in East London before being signed to Because Music.[4]

Her musical style is a mix of soul, folk, electronic and other styles, and Moore has said she takes influence from Lauryn Hill and Bon Iver.[5] She refers to her own music as "genre free".[6]

Moore's first single, "The Lake", was produced by Plan B.[7] Her album Elsewhere was produced by Rodaidh McDonald (The xx, Savages).[8]

Moore's second album We Used To Bloom was released on 16 June 2017.[9]
