Temika Moore is an acoustic inspirational soul artist whose talent has been enjoyed by underground aficionados for 11 years. Regarded by many as the music industry's best kept secret, she is often described as a vocal virtuoso sharing the title with industry power houses Rachelle Ferrell, Ledisi, Maysa, Lizz Wright, Lalah Hathaway and Heather Headley. Temika inspires and encourages young and old through clever, thought-provoking lyrics that call attention to both social and spiritual issues all while keeping you in the “pocket.” She has shared the stage with Will Downing, Roy Ayers, Marcus Johnson, and the late Stanley Turrentine. She has also opened for KEM, Ledisi, Dwele, Conya Doss, Cassandra Wilson, Najee, Pieces of a Dream, Melba Moore and Jean Carne to name a few.

Temika’s current body of work “Doing Just Fine” contains original compositions such as the funky acoustic inspirational anthem “Light as a Feather,” the head bopping, jazz-infused “Let It Go,“ the heart warming tribute to Temika’s grandmother “Come Sunday,” and she also pays homage to Christian pop group Seawind with a rendition of “Follow your Road.

Temika Moore's most recent CD "Doing Fine" is receiving airplay on several radio stations around the country and is available on Itunes and select retailers. Join Temika’s mailing list to get information on her upcoming performances and her third CD project scheduled for release in 2009.

  • Follow Your Road
    author: Vernon Spriggs

    I brought this CD after hearing one of my all-time favorite tunes: Follow Your Road. I was like 'who is this'? Never did I think anyone could pull off this Seawind hit. I was working on a Sunday afternoon listening to D.C.'s WHUR, when I had to stand still and just listen! After numerous failed attempts to reach the DJ, via calling in -- she finally recapped the songs and artists. When I got home, I was on CD BABY! Wow - I got 'my song' plus 12 bonus songs!!!

  • Feelng Just Fine
    author: S. Fisher

    That's how this CD leaves me. I absolutely love the Temika's version of "Groove with You." The song "Doing Just Fine" is so special, I hope that people are really listening to those words. I have two favorites; the first is "Come Sunday" which brings tears to my eyes as I remember growing up, Sunday mornings and my Grandmothers. My second favorite is "Conversation;" it has a soothing/calming feeling. I have listened to this CD all day while at work, and never once got tired of any part of it. Even better, my students (middle school) like it also. When someone asks to hear a song again I have to smile because I know this isn't the genre of music they normally listen to. I understand that Temika is currently working on a third CD. I'm looking forward to it. Oh, one more thing, I ordered both CD's and I was pleased that I received them both on time and in great condition.

  • There are no words
    author: Grace

    I copped the first CD and thought, wow, this is great. Copped the 2nd CD and was blown away. I love "Follow Your Road", "Light as a Feather" just makes my day zoom, when all the folks around you are trying to stress, it just bring me back into focus. Thanks for creating a musical background for my day. I play the CD so much, my little one is even starting to sing along. Can't wait for her 3rd installment.

  • Moved To Tears
    author: DLena

    I was driving around downtown Washington, DC, when I heard the song Light as a Feather and I almost crashed trying to find a pen to write down the name of the song. As soon as I heard the song I felt like... I want to feel like that woman in this song. However, the true gift was the song Doing Just Fine. Last year I gave birth to twins, when their father found out I was pregnant he left without ever seeing them. He's never even called. I always felt so bad wondering what I would say to the babies, how I would explain, how I could avoid hurting them, avoid making them feel unworthy or unloved. There was alot of guilt, shame and anger, but when I hear Ms. Moore's strong, powerful, confident voice I picture my babies proclaiming the same thing... not needing anything, not bitter, and knowing to their core that they were loved from the start! Thank you Ms. Moore. You are an inspired artist!

  • Excellent CD! Temika has an amazing voice. Well-written songs too.
    author: G. Clark

    I really loved this CD. Temika's voice reminds you of Anita Baker and Rachelle Ferrell. Very nice mixture of jazz and R&B with inspirational lyrics.

  • Wow
    author: Shabach

    Inspiring songs sang with a beautiful voice, what more can I say.

  • Temika shines once again. This CD is Highly Recommended.
    author: Monte Marshall

    Temika shines once again in this her 2nd great soulful work. She truly is a talented artist. Her songs are all inspiring and touching. This new CD is highly recommended.

  • She has done it again!
    author: Frank Crenshaw

    Temika has raised the bar with this release. Beginning to end a truly wonderful CD. Her rendition of The Isleys "Groove With You" makes the disc a must have in any good collection. This is why independent music is the way of the future. Thanks Temika !!!!

  • Doing Just Fine could be one of the first great indie soul albums of 2006.
    author: Chris Rizik-Soultracks.com

    Two years after her solid debut, Moment of Truth, Temika Moore has taken the next step forward in her development with her sophomore disc, Doing Just Fine. Maybe even a leap forward. While her debut showed a talented singer who was developing as a songwriter and producer, Doing Just Fine shows real advancement in both of those categories, and could be one of the first great indie soul albums of 2006. Fine is generally more upbeat than its predecessor and Moore has really created a number of excellent musical and vocal arrangements to support her always-intelligent lyrics. So while artists like the Pussycat Dolls are dominating radio with songs that equate femininity with shallowness and sexuality, Moore instead sings of individual empowerment and adult relationships based on respect and mutual sacrifice (what a concept!). Moore also digs deeper into her spirituality on the album, taking a Gospel turn on "Conversation" and "Come Sunday." While Moment of Truth occasionally sacrificed the melodies for the message, Doing Just Fine creates a nice balance, with generally stronger tunes such as "Conversation," "Light as a Feather" and the title cut. Moore also handles covers of "Follow Your Road" and the Isleys' "Groove With You" nicely. Temika Moore called her first album Moment of Truth because it was the culmination of years of preparation and self-examination. Doing Just Fine could easily be called Moment of Growth, as it is a very nice display of Moore's growth as an artist and musician and should propel her to the next level of critical and commercial acclaim in the soul music world.
