Like a funkified psychadelic Woody Guthrie, Dexter Moore certainly put the mileage behind him as he spent his early years hitching and busking around the world. As one of his self portrait lyrics portrays in a tribute to Jack Keroac
'Desolation angel, just a dharma bum, Lonesome traveler
on the road' This is a seasoned traveler whose only
inspiration was to live the artists way and to keep the music real. Here then is an artist walked away from a major record deal in London in order to keep his integrity intact rather than become one of those who would become what the industry wanted them to be.
That is not what an true artist does!
It was on this journey that he developed his unique and mesmerizing guitar style - A notable feature that has won Dexter Moore fans all over the world
- 'Amazing virtuosity' London Times. Along the way Dexter found the time to learn the arts of sound engineering and record production. Producing a
..1 hit in the process. But it is in his songwriting that he truly captures hearts.
Now a multi-award winning songwriter, Dexter Moore sells his CDs worldwide over the internet and at his performances. He has spent months on end at the top of various charts and enjoys a somewhat cult-like following of musicians and discerning listeners.

Hi Dexter here -"I love that Beatles song "The long and winding road". Apart from bringing back memories, it also applies to my life and how music has shaped and continues to shape it. I was brought up thinking of career and success in terms of fame and fortune, but what has transpired is something far more valuable indeed. I was 18 when I walked away from a major record deal in London, and I've kept my distance from the industry ever since. Two reasons being that the mainstream music industry is not known for it's expansive views on the psychology of art and human evolution, and I'm not known for being a yo-yo. Our cultures need art to stay connected to it's initial inspiration. Why lower your values to comply with mediocrity when you can raise spirits through the expression of your own unique TRUE NATURE. Our societies have a lot of evolving to do before the true value of true art is fully recognized and respected. Ironically it is art that must surely play a major part in our cultures growth. So, keep your art free. Let it be what is right for you, not what anybody else thinks it should be. If your honest with yourself and you work hard, it will come together and resonate with all kinds of people. They will derive what they choose out of it and you will be an artist in the true sense of the word. So the fidelity I have sought may not have yet brought mountains of cash or the red carpet stretch limo watusi, and even though I'm sure that can be fun I have all that I ever really need anyway - inside." Nobody can take that away - and that is what will continue to propel me to the realization of my dreams.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
