Prior to becoming a recording artist, Moses worked with her best friend Nonja McKenzie as an assistant wardrobe stylist for artists such as Will Smith, Kelis, R. Kelly, and No Doubt. It was after breaking her leg on a video set that Moses decided to follow her heart and begin making music. Following this epiphany, Moses signed with indie label TVT Records and released her debut album in July 2004, Complex Simplicity, which was executive produced by Moses herself and partner Poli Paul. The album underperformed on the US chart, debuting and peaking at number one hundred and sixty-eight on the Billboard 200. Otherwise, it found success on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, the Top Independent Albums, and the Top Heatseekers, reaching number twenty, number number eleven, and number ten, respectively. Moses' second studio album, The Young Lioness, is due out in 2009. Moses has written songs for other artists including Nivea, Christina Milian, and Mary J. Blige. She was featured on and co-wrote two songs from Raphael Saadiq's 2004 album Ray Ray, "Chic", and "I Want You Back". Her songs have been showcased in the Logo series Noah's Arc as well as in the HBO hit show Entourage. On December 28, 2008, Moses released the Lionhearted - Young Hustla Vol III mixtape at a performance in Pasadena, California. It is available for sale on her MySpace page. [TEEDRA ...

Raphael Saadiq was nominated for his 2008 solo album The Way I See It. The album featured an eclectic group of collaborators, such as Joss Stone, Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z. For his Tiny Desk Concert, Saadiq brought a remarkable accompanist in guitarist Rob Bacon. The two had just gotten off a plane, but in their impeccably tailored suits and their grand smiles, they looked fresh and played an inspired acoustic performance. As you watch, keep an eye on Saadiq's guitar work: You'll see how his years as a bassist influences many of his licks on his Taylor acoustic. Saadiq played: "Love That Girl" "100 Yard Dash" "Sure Hope You Mean It"

Raphael Saadiq is a standard bearer for what folks call "old school" music, a contemporary artist continuing a time-honored tradition that goes back to the '60s and '70s. From his early days as a member of the groundbreaking '80s group Tony! Toni! Toné! through his work as an award-winning producer of such artists as Joss Stone, The Roots, Snoop Dogg, John Legend among many others and his own solo albums, the multi-talented Raphael Saadiq has kept the faith. His latest album, The Way I See It, available in a collector's edition box set of 7"45 RPM singles as well as on traditional CD, represents the finest example to date of Raphael's downtown sound, a masterful blend of old and new school sensibilities on tracks featuring artists such as Joss Stone, Stevie Wonder, and Jay-Z. www.raphaelsaadiq.com This event took place on March 4, 2009, as part of the Musicians@Google series.
