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 their 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 group, 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, but it is available for fans to listen to, on Nathan's own Website [1].

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.

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, and featured members from 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-group members as a brand new girl group. 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 July 18, 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]

In 2007, Nathan decided, with Steve Hart and Cal Cooper, to come back as Worlds Apart.

[edit] Personal life

In 2004 Nathan Moore was fined £250 at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court in London after he pleaded guilty to soliciting a female police officer in the Kings Cross red light area of the city [3]. He explained to the press that he pleaded guilty in order to prevent further press intrusion, but that he was in fact innocent. PR agent Sean Borg explained to the press that the charges were ludicrous because Moore is gay, and that they had been in a relationship for 13 years. [4] Headlines about the case subsequently referred to Moore as "gay" [5] [6]

Moore married Donna Fisher on September 8, 2007, in Majorca, Spain [7].
