Anthony Wayne Moore (September 5, 1967 – May 7, 2013), He worked with French duo Daft Punk, providing vocals for "One More Time" and "Too Long" from their second album, Discovery.
Early life, family and education
Anthony Wayne Moore was born on September 5, 1967, in New Jersey, where he was raised. He had a sister, Mellony Moore. His parents saw his musical aptitude when he was young and he was encouraged to take music lessons and learn the guitar.
Despite being a techno artist, much of his influences came from older acts such as Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Marvin Gaye and Led Zeppelin. He chose the name Romanthony to avoid confusion with the British musician Anthony Moore, a founding member of Slapp Happy.
Career
His work crossed several genres, including house, R&B, and hip hop. In his interviews, Romanthony said that gospel and funk music strongly influenced his singing style and the way he produced songs. Tracks like "Hold On" make extensive use of sampling with a distinctly soulful house feel, while the later "Bring U Up" uses a James Brown–style breakbeat.
Most notably, he worked with Daft Punk on the song "One More Time", released in 2000. He had previously been namechecked by the duo on the song "Teachers" from their debut album Homework.
In 2023, many artists like Daft Punk, Disclosure, and The Blessed Madonna paid tribute to Romanthony with an online concert marking 10 years since his death.
Romanthony appeared on Black Male Records (his own label), Roulé, Dim Mak Records, Azuli, Play It Again Sam (PIAS), Compuphonic, and Glasgow Underground Recordings.
Personal life and death
Romanthony resided in Austin, Texas.
He died at his home on May 7, 2013,
