Meeting, speaking and spending time talking with Pamela Moore was absolutely incredible. There is "More to Moore" - and there is only ONE Pamela Moore that reaches beyond an American Singer and Songwriter’s inner feel of music to her fans - and within her songwriting.

Combining her personal style in rock, pop, metal and electronica – the reception delivers the “Pamela Moore - Inner Feeling Experience”. Born and raised in Seattle Washington, Pamela developed her passion in the performing arts at a young age; she also developed her own brand with the gift of a multi-talented performer in vocals, acoustic guitar and piano.

Let’s begin by taking a tour in the past through Pamela’s Journey. The first two albums Moore released in the early 80’s, “Take a Look” and “You Won’t Find Me There” are what we consider – hard to find classics. They are a collectors search in original vinyl format. My opinion is because her first two releases is what started the Journey and Birth of Pamela Moore and The Pamela Moore Inner Experience.

It was in the late 80’s that she was noted as “Sister Mary” on Queensryche’s release of "Operation: Mind-crime".

Pamela Moore is also seen in the filming of Operation: LIVE-crime, along with being on The Empire Tour in 1990-1991 with Queensryche. Pamela Moore was invited back to re-visit her role as "Sister Mary" for Queensryche's Sequel: Operation: Mind Crime 2 and joined the band on a World Tour from 2006 - 2008. To include, she was also seen in the subsequent filming of the mini Rock opera, which was released in 2007: "Mind Crime at The Moore".

“I am very blessed working with Queensryche and grateful to know and have a close friendship with them”, said Moore.

Her journey continues. A visionary in her music, Pamela released a full length CD called “Stories From A Blue Room” - that includes a feature duet performance with her cousin, Terri Nunn, from the group “Berlin” in Pamela's song “Satisified”.

It is obvious that Pamela is also a natural behind both Microphone and Camera. Currently, in the filming of her music video “Cross My Heart”, a song Pamela wrote and sang with pure emotion, she delivers that emotion with a message behind the song. Pamela explained the meaning being her hit song “Cross My Heart” simply by stating a fact that is of value to her, a fact she sings in her own brand by sending a message to others who listen to this song. “Decisions in life are choices all of us make. The decisions we make transform us to who we are today - some good - some bad, but no matter what - decisions are a part of life’s lessons”, said Moore".

What Pamela enjoys most is what she loves most; music. Nothing can stop her on a stage in performance, writing in her music, singing with emotion. When she makes appearances, her glow on stage makes her personality within her performance inviting to her fans. What does Pamela have to say about her glow? Moore gave an immediate without hesitation answer - “I enjoy what I do and its entirety. Through my songs it is gratifying to me to sing and perform knowing I am sending a message to my audience, a message that helps them, including myself. The truth is you have to love what you do to be successful at it. Part of my success and love as a recording artist and songwriter is I know I am making a difference because in life, we are all in this boat together.”

Let’s go back to her song “Cross My Heart”. Through that song, Pamela’s unique vocals and performance in the music video became obvious in a natural interlude of her own in “Cross My Heart”. Moore shared; “The core meaning behind my song ‘Cross My Heart’ is encountering sudden changes that I experienced, changes that many others experience too. But it is important to understand that when sudden changes take place in life, changes make us stronger, validating when anyone goes through changes that life itself hands to us, it also makes us stronger and better as well."

Pamela Moore’s journey continues. She is proof destiny is not an outcome, but a gift that is held within the palm of her hands. She continues to travel her journey through her songwriting, singing and giving her fans "More of Pamela Moore" - the best that succeeds to continue in reach out of Pamela's intelligence and talents. There is no exception through her diversified talents, even in live performances, Pamela does what she loves and delivers the Pamela Moore inner feeling experience direct to her audience and fans.

Moore is in current production for an upcoming CD that is powerful. Excited about this current production, in this CD she resurrects the power of her music. Neal Schon from the group “Journey” emphasized: “Pamela Moore is a very gifted singer that moves the Heart and the Soul. Her upcoming CD “Resurrect Me” is very cool and strong.”

What’s special to Pamela is also being asked to do special guest appearances on different albums from different artists. She is able to hold many octaves in her vocals, which is a bonus for her when she takes on guest appearances, giving the beauty of what she does, opening her to do different things. Her mentors are those who have, and continue to, inspire her most. Two groups of whom Pamela made mention are the performers of the groups Journey and Heart. Pamela also agrees that all artists inspire and mentor

each other as Neal Schon from the group Journey stated to me about Pamela Moore. Additionally, in speaking with other recording artists in the music industry - it is a fact that Pamela Moore is also an inspiration to many recording artists and songwriters as well.

Amongst everything Pamela does as a popular recording artist, there is "More to Moore" - she also keeps busy in writing, she is a vocal coach, working out and communicating with her fans, friends and family. Through family, friends and fans, combined with her deliverance through her music, is what completes and makes Pamela Moore.
