Jive Ass Sleepers is the music of Stuart Moore, a keyboardist, composer and producer based in California. His unique jazz-and-funk infused dance music has been on MTV, HBO's documentary 'Real Sex,' PBS's 'Wired Science', the Fine Living Network, HGTV and advertising and marketing companies 7th Art, The Concept Factory and Driver TV. Stuart developed a love of funk, jazz and dance music during the 90s upon hearing Jamiroquai's debut album 'Emergency On Planet Earth.' This music led him to Herbie Hancock, Roy Ayers, and others whom he came to admire.
Stuart started writing music in 2001 and quickly developed his own funky, laidback sound as part of the short lived funk-soul-rock band Sugar Brown. He then went it alone developing his own unique sound of jazz and funk-infused dance music. In 2003 he graduated from the University of Sheffield in England and was soon a professionally performing musician.
At the moment he is focusing on composing music for use in TV, film and all forms of media. He has a large collection of original music covering genres such as Funk, House, Jazz, Chill-Out, Latin and Orchestral. Recently his music has been used by MTV on the show 'Pieces Of Me-The Best Of Britney At The VMA's, the PBS show 'Wired Science', HBO documentary 'Real Sex,' Fine Living Network and HGTV and advertising and marketing companies such as 7th Art, The Concept Factory and Driver TV.
