Nathan Moore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nathan Moore (born Nathan Marcellus Moore, 10 January 1965, in Stamford Hill, London, England) is a singer, one time boyband member and pop idol manager.

[edit] Career

First coming to prominence by joining the boyband Brother Beyond as the lead singer in 1987 (when the band and their record label won an auction to record a track with the successful 1980s record producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman), Moore was subsequently in the line-up of another boyband, Worlds Apart, that became chart stars in France.

After leaving the band, and rather like 1980s chart rival Craig Logan of Bros fame, Moore ventured into music management, representing a number of Pop Idol contestants such as Jessica Garlick.

Moore recorded "If There Was Love", a duet with Kim Wilde in 2002. The song was never released due to lack of interest from record labels.

In the 2000s he found himself as a reality TV personality, not only as a singer on music revival programme Hit Me Baby One More Time, but also as Lisa Scott-Lee's manager on the MTV Europe programme Totally Scott-Lee.

In May 2004, he was arrested for soliciting a female prostitute who turned out to be an undercover police officer. Moore pleaded guilty to the charges.[1]

Moore was also involved (as a manager) in an E4/Channel 4 TV programme Boys Will Be Girls, a six week show that aired from April 2006, that featured members from such music groups such as the Fast Food Rockers. The aim of the show was to try to pull off one of the most bizarre and humorous stunts in pop history: passing off a bunch of male ex pop-band members as a brand new girl band. Over the course of the show, the trio (The Honeytraps) were shown having lessons in how to be feminine and recorded a download single, a cover of the 1980s A Flock of Seagulls track called "Wishing (If I Had A Photograph of You)".

On 18 July 2006 Moore issued a statement via his website announcing that he had stopped managing acts. . "I would like to let you know that I am no longer managing acts. I will be concentrating on TV / radio work plus recording new music and Live (sic) singing! The only artist now managed by Hyperactive from my singers is James Fox."[2]
