Alto Moon
Summary
Atlanta-based artist, producer & songwriter, Alto Moon is redefining “Future Soul”, a sleek collision of Pop, R&B, and electronica that feels both nostalgic and next-gen. Though raised on heartfelt sounds from Southern gospel, Alto’s sound pulses with a modern edge where soul meets synths. Drawing sonic comparisons to Sam Smith, Lenny Kravitz, & Usher, Alto’s smart, cheeky signature songwriting makes it unmistakably his own. His latest album "godspeed." caught the attention of Bob the Drag Queen, who later appeared on the project’s lead single, "ride." The record marks a defining moment in Alto’s ascent blending bold, club-ready production with nostalgic Pop/R&B. After appearances on American Idol, MTV, and NPR, Alto continues to spark Atlanta’s underground scene with high-energy performances and a signature retro-futuristic aesthetic. A proud queer voice in pop, he celebrates freedom, reinvention, and the art of moving at your own speed.
