What it is.

Hi, hello. My name is Trent Moorman.

Writer / drummer.

My writing has appeared in :: VICE :: the Stranger :: Salon :: Rolling Stone :: Tape Op :: Portland Mercury :: KEXP and elsewhere.

Recently, pieces in the entertainment section of First Coast News, NBC/ABC affiliate in Jacksonville, FL.

Internationally, have published pieces from Rome, Tokyo, Bogotá, Athens, Sitka, and Guam.

For ten years, features, essays, interviews, and video appeared in Seattle’s the Stranger. Five of those years involved writing a weekly print column for the music section. Interviews I conducted ranged from Lady Gaga to Snoop Dogg to Radiohead to Zach Galafianakis, to an Australian dude who jumped on a dead whale being eaten by sharks.

Other writing activities include traveling to Bogotá, Colombia to get shot by a bulletproof tailor, and taking Ken the Ghost Hunter to Jimi Hendrix’s grave in Seattle.

Occasionally I provide music / theme music for CNN. Most recent placement - theme music for Anderson Cooper Full Circle.

I drum. I’m a drummer. I enjoy playing drums. Recently touring / recording with Lusine (Seattle), and Yppah (Long Beach, CA). - Drumming Site here - x

Born and raised in Atlanta, GA. Seattle, WA was then home for twenty-five years. Now based in Jacksonville, FL. Alligators are everywhere in Jacksonville. They seem to enjoy Beyond Burger / Impossible Whopper type food items.

I’m influenced by dream psychology, kick drums, and peanut butter. My favorite internet dogs are Bunny and Mr. Bubz.
