Revision as of 23:36, 26 May 2007
A distinctly intriguing character, Chuck Mosley is an African/Native American singer and songwriter who is credited as a pioneer of the music genre commonly referred to as Rap Rock or Rapcore. Mosley was the original front-man of the ground-breaking and highly influential band Faith No More. He was featured on their debut album We Care a Lot and on their second, Introduce Yourself.
Mosley was born in Hollywood, CA, but raised in South Central Los Angeles and Venice. He joined Faith No More in 1983 replacing Courtney Love (Hole) as lead singer.
Chuck parted ways with FNM in 1988 for a number of reasons, including creative differences with his band members and rumors of substance abuse.
In 1990 Mosley began a stint as lead singer in revered hardcore punk band, Bad Brains. He performed at nearly sixty shows in the United States and Europe before leaving the band in January of 1992.
Mosley immediately went on to form a new band, Cement. They released two albums: Cement and Man with the Action Hair. Both albums were distributed by Dutch East India Trading (United States) and Rough Trade (Europe). The band toured both countries promoting their music. During the first week of what was to be a year-long tour for Man with the Action Hair, the band’s driver fell asleep at the wheel causing a major accident. Chuck spent a year recovering from a broken back, the tour was canceled, and the album was, subsequently, shelved.
Mosley relocated to Cleveland, Ohio in March of 1996. He has spent the last several years writing and compiling new material while raising his two daughters Sophie and Erica.
Throughout his apparent hiatus, Chuck has continued to be sited as a major influence by prevalent groups such as Korn, Disturbed, Limp Bizkit, and others. He was recently featured in Billboard Magazine in spite of the fact that he hasn’t released a record in several years.
His original recording of “We Care a Lot” remains as popular and relevant as ever. It had previously been the theme song for the Discovery Channel show Dirty Jobs and was featured prominently in the major motion pictures Grosse Pointe Blank and Bio-Dome. He retains an extremely loyal “cult” following amongst fans, both in the United States and overseas.
Chuck recently teamed up with multi-platinum award winning producer/engineer Michael Seifert and inked a production deal for a new full-length album, which is currently in production at Ante Up Audio, a multi-suite recording complex in Cleveland, Ohio.
