About me:


Jonathan Moffett


Hear that beat? Sounds familiar? YES! It's "Don't Stop the Music" by R&B artist YARBROUGH and PEOPLES and Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett on drums! Released by Total Experience Records, this was the second commercially world release song (the first was " Second Line" which he recorded back in 1971 in New Orleans, La. with his band 'Stop Incorporated', still this day the #1 Mardi Gras season hit song and New Orleans anthem) Jonathan recorded and it became a #1 hit and R&B classic! Sampled by many different major rappers in the Rap and Hip Hop world. As the song says, "Don't Stop the Music" and "Don't Stop the Beat"!!!!!

What about " I WANT MUSCLES" by DIANA ROSS? Or how-bout that opening drum fill and beat on "OPEN YOUR HEART" by MADONNA? And what about, "LIKE A PRAYER" by MADONNA? Even that slow pulsed-laid back beat on "LIVE TO TELL" by the ever reinventive MADONNA? Or the slow mellow pulse on "SACRIFICE" by SIR ELTON JOHN?

Drummer for many major recording artists live and on records. Professional for 28 years (since 1979. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana with a passion for music and graphic arts. First started playing at age 6 on his first snare drum (a Ludwig marching snare). Playing at school dances, parties and talent shows by age 8, night clubs by the age of 9, making his own money with his older brother's and their friend's band The Caveliers.

"They would sneak me in the back doors because I was so underage {I don't know if they paid me right, but I sure had a lotta fun playing with the big guys - HOPE THEY DIDN'T RIP ME OFF!!!!!}.

At the age of 12 became known as " S U G A R F O O T " because of the fast, articulate and pronounced bass drum work he had developed! Playing 16th and even 32nd note figures dynamically within the rhythms. This name stuck all around town. "People didn't even know my REAL name."

Played with several various popular local bands around town and in the region for 15 years to local celebrity status. A tape of the last local band I played with, the "Money Band", made it's way out of town in the hands of the lead singer of that band he had been with. "He let Jermaine Jackson of the Jacksons hear the tape and Jermaine sent for me through him. In the second week of January of 1979, I drove out to Los Angeles, California and Hollywood to meet with Jermaine Jackson. By the end of February(1 1/2 months later), I joined his brothers,"THE JACKSONS". "Finally, in 1984 I got the opportunity to perform with both Jermaine and his brothers on the enormous production and history making "Victory Tour", as well as having the honor of musical directing and playing for Jermaine on his 1986 "Precious Moments Tour".

From seeing him on the first tours with The Jacksons, other recording artist groups such as Patti Austin, Lionel Richie, Tina Marie, Cameo, Madonna, Elton John, and eventually George Michael would call upon his services to supply the heart, power, finesse, feel, dynamics and articulation of their songs and grooves.

Within the world renowned Jackson family alone, Jonathan has played for 4 major recording and touring artists and intidies in the world and in the history of music - The Jacksons / Michael Jackson / Janet Jackson / Jermaine Jackson.

"Music Is My Given Gift from GOD! My Gift To You Is Music! I Pass It On . . . . so that it may be Passed On to your souls!!! If you experience what I'm translating, . . . . . then feel it, express to it, live it, let it move you physically and emotionally. Then, pass it on! From the CREATOR - through me - to you, through you - to others!!! Share The Spirit! Spread The Love!!!!!

Who I'd like to meet:

JESUS CHRIST - (to gain more wisdom,knowledge and insight to life - the whys, hows, and the depths of the human spirit through the various levels of sensitivities)_

MARTIN LUTHER KING - (for his courage in the midst of danger, his devotion to the 'Knowing of "ONENESS", his amazing common sense intelligence and articulation in expressing of ideas and ideals in his beliefs, his radiant sence of compasion)_

BARAK OBAMA - (for he's a smart, intellegent man with strong wisdom and conviction. Would like to pick his mind and brain to see how he would intend and plan to bond the country and the world together in a unified purpose, rationality and reasoning to become more ONE VOICE, EACH OTHER/ONE ANOTHER MINDED, and begin the enormous tasks of ending world hunger and starvation, hatred between religions and faiths and ethnicticities, ecological problems and complications, and here in America, how to keep the rights of the Constitution for each and every American and citizen pending, from Imploding on itself. It's a time when the same rights designed to protect us, can become the vehicles of our ultimate demise and social caos. WE NEED AN VISIONARY INTERPRETER!!!!!_

NELSON MANDELA - (to shake and hold his hand, and feel the true power of REAL GREATNESS! A REAL, LEGITIMATE ICON! Also, to speak with him to learn the meaning and conviction of and for PURPOSE!!!_

POPE JOHN PAUL II - (to have a chance to be in the presense of true humility, power, glory, wisdom, great understanding, true desire for good and righteousness, a great and strong sense of peace and tranquility which he seemed to possess in quantity, and the closest degree of purity I have ever seen-even in the face of death(may ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS HIM, FOR HIS WORK IS DONE IN THIS WORLD, AND THERE CAN HARDLY BE NO BETTER SERVANT THAN HE-TRUELY MAY HE REST IN PEACE_

Hello Jonathan,
  Last night I saw a special screening of This Is It. I enjoyed the movie. I especially enjoyed listening to you lock all those grooves for Micheal. The set that you were playing was beautiful. That's the first time I've seen four bass drums on one kit. Was that a DW custom made kit for you. Those Silvertone cymbals sounded good. Last time I saw you was in 2007. You were with Cameo performing at A&T State University Alumni concert in Greensboro, N.C. We spoke backstage after the show. I'm currently play drums for a band known as "The Chairmen of The Board". They had several hits in the 60's and70's. Their biggest hit was "Give Just A Little More Time". You may have heard of the leader of the band. His name is General Johnson. He was at Motown and Invictus Records.  Holla back at me when you can.
                            Peace,
                            Melvin
