Raised in a family of professional musicians, Whitney has been perfecting her performance skills from an early age. At just nine years old, Whitney began a career in voice over, lending her voice to national campaigns for household names like Barbie and Subway. She joined her first band at nineteen, playing weddings and events throughout the Southeast. At twenty, she moved to Spain. From there, her passion for travel and world music took her to stages around the globe. She has crooned Celtic ballads in Madrid’s Fontana de Oro; sung jazz at a venue blocks from the Eiffel Tower; belted out the blues in resorts across the Caribbean; led salsa dances with a twelve-piece orchestra in Colorado; entranced audiences in a 16th-Century Mexican Cathedral; and perhaps her favorite performance was an off-the-cuff scat serenade to an audience of monks in Cambodia. She spent three years in Mexico studying and performing Latin folk music with teachers from all over the Latin world and was even sent on a state-sponsored tour. She studied flamenco singing in both Madrid and Barcelona. She has released two albums: one of traditional latin ballads and one of original jazz compositions, both available on iTunes. She also co-wrote an album of Latin Jazz compositions, the title track of which, "Paradise" has received international radio play and won several Latin music awards.
Along the way, Whitney maintained her voice over career from booths all over the world. She racked up thousands of projects, including commercials, industrial/narrations, e-learning videos, on-hold messaging, cartoon/animation, and video games. She became a regular voice for Google, Barbie/Mattel, Lowe's, McDonald's, Duke's Mayonnaise, and Velux, among others. She voiced three characters in Tiger Woods' PGA Tour Video Game for Electronic Arts.
In 2012, Whitney moved back home to Asheville, North Carolina to put down some roots and live near her family. She returned to her roots and joined trad-jazz group The Gamblers. When that project ended, she decided to start her own project, Queen Bee and the Honeylovers, in 2018. Their debut album, Asheville, celebrated their hometown's history and won them #41 on WNCW's listener-voted poll of Best Albums of 2019 as well as features on The State of Things with Frank Stasio and PBS Woodsongs. Their video for Beacham's Curve won Best Soundtrack at the 2019 Music Video Asheville Awards and other songs were featured on Bravo's Southern Charm, New Orleans. Whitney also appeared as a featured vocalist with The Rhythm Serenaders at Camp Jitterbug and also with Posey Royale at swing events throughout east coast including DCLExtra, The Nashville Palace, and Lollies and Lemonade.
Whitney lives in Asheville, NC with her husband, 3 year old son, and is currently expecting her second child.
“Her strong sense of melody unites Latin jazz, Spanish flamenco and African influences for a unique twist on the singer-songwriter tradition.”
“Between Whitney Moore‘s smooth vocals and Latin flair, the music she creates is both uplifting and intoxicating.”
