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 is due for release 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]
