At sixteen years old, Merche Moore is already a pioneer. She is set to become one of thefirst digitally exclusive artists on EMI Gospel.  Her first single, You’re the One hits airwaves and mp3players across the country on July 22nd. We’re excited to be able to share with the world, one of Music City’sbest young talents, Merche is truly gifted and has quite a message to sharewith today’s youth, says Ken Pennell, President of EMI Gospel.  

Lay aside heramazing vocal ability and the fact that she has been singing and performingsince she was a toddler, it appears Merche is your typical 21^st century teenage girl – complete with a healthytext messaging habit and a young R&B crooner by the name of Chris Brownserving as the man of her dreams. However, dig just beyond the surface, and you’ll find that there istruly more to this young artist than meets the eye.  Sometimes teenagers get caught up on what they think themusic should sound like. If it’s traditional they don’t want to hear it, shesays.  So I try to approach themwith the style of music they may already listen to on their iPod, but keep itpositive.  If they like the music,maybe they’ll pay a little bit more attention to the words. 

Since the ageof six, her young career has included sharing the stage with gospel greats MaryMary, opening for Nicole C. Mullen and also working with Nicole’s husband,prominent music producer, David Mullen. It also includes a stint at age thirteen as a cast member on thethirty-one city Veggie Tales Rockin’ Tour Live.

You’re TheOne, an upbeat, Pop/R&B-influenced track, Produced by Grammy-nominatedProducer, David “DaMonsta” Lynch, reminds the listener that “No matter whatwe’re going through, Jesus has been so good,” says Merche.  You’re The One is now available fordownload at i-Tunes and all your favorite digital retail outlets.
