Artist to Watch Q&A: Moe Carter
As a fellow radio host on
Platinum Radio, I'm constantly in search of great music to play on my show. I had no idea who Moe Carter was when one day my fiance was playing his song,
"Neighborhood" from SoundCloud and I was like,
'Who's that?'. He told me & I was locked in. I asked if he could reach out to him and one thing led to another and he's now in our network of indie artists.
*happy dance*
With an interview on
Platinum Radio Online & a live interview with fellow host, Bruce Anderson during the Platinum Midday Grind, I felt it only right if I get in on the action & interview him, myself, because I'm interested in how he got started musically due to his lyrical ability being so eclectically impeccable.
However, in today's world there's not many indie artists that have completely free schedules so I simply sent him a list of interview prep questions to get the ball in motion & you can expect a live interview with me & this artist on my show,
Rise and Shine with Rae in the upcoming weeks. Check out his Q&A below & be sure to follow Moe Carter on
Twitter &
Instagram. Also, check out his
