Jenny Moore is a composer, singer, drummer, performance artist and choir leader. Her London-based six-piece choral-punk ensemble Jenny Moore’s Mystic Business is known for their tuned percussion, huge vocals and chanted soulful mantras, a mix of the 90's R&B and post-punk Jenny grew up listening to in the Canadian prairies. Their new EP, "He Earns Enough," was released on Lost Map Records in 2021. Moore founded the alternative feminist choir F*Choir, composing and arranging for the diverse group of singers using non-gendered voice parts, graphic scores, no auditions to create highly energetic, rhythmic and political music.

“I’m drawing on the methodologies behind F*Choir, the all-genders, intergenerational choir I started 6 years ago as a place to gather in body and voice”

WILD MIX is a performance album rooted in the creative and physical practices of communal singing, kickboxing and drumming. Located in experiences of mutual influence, reciprocity, and interdependence, this enquiry asks, how can we sing ourselves back to life?

Moving from more experimental, improvised beatmaking into fully formed choreographed choral landscapes. Core team members include Bianca Stephens, Tanya Auclair, Zahra Haji Fath Ali Tehrani, Nandi Bhebhe, Georgia Frost and Sib Trigg.
