Eartha (musician)
Eartha, born Eartha Moore〔eNotes, Contemporary Musicians () retrieved on October 7, 2008 () retrieved on October 7, 2008〕〔MTV () retrieved on October 7, 2008〕 in Los Angeles, California, is an American female eclectic, alternative soul singer, songwriter, and musician. The 5’11” sultry raspy-voice contralto who sports a honey-blonde buzz cut has garnered much attention in the underground club, urban, and indie circles.〔“Rising Stars,” Blacktress, November 2001, p.77〕 While her musical style is a hybrid of many and evades categorization, she credits her biological mother Zinna Moore, Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway as her main musical influences.〔Rashod Ollison, “After First Nomination-It’s Now Down to Eartha,” The Journal News, Music Notes, January 30, 2003, p.33〕〔Roxanne Ruben, “Grammy Winner Eartha Brings it Together,” Venice Magazine, April 2003, p. 22.〕
Eartha, who is signed to indie label AFRT Music, founded by identical twins, Grammy Award winning producers Glaurys Ariass and Helsa Ariass,〔(AFRT Music artist Eartha )〕 debuted her first release ''This I Know'' in 2000. The fourteen track release captured a great deal of attention. As a result of the positive feedback on the ''Love Jones'' track, she released the Maxi-Single ''Love Jones'', which consists of five mixes in 2001. She then followed up with her sophomore project ''Sidebars'' in 2002, for which Eartha’s unique vocal style earned her two Grammy Award nominations and a win.〔“Grammy’s Roundup,” Grammy Magazine, Feb 18, 2003〕〔Jet Magazine, March 10, 2003, p.56-57 () retrieved on October 7, 2008〕 She continued to write and contribute with musicians and producers, at times as a ghostwriter. On September 21, 2010, Eartha released her third CD album ''Ink Dry Blue.''
== Personal life ==
Eartha’s biological parents Philip L. and Zinna Moore, were forced to give her and older sister to a foster home when mother Zinna was stricken postpartum with a debilitating illness. At six months, Eartha was immediately placed in the home of foster parents Lucy and Otis Rushing. According to ''Contemporary Musicians'', both Eartha’s birth and foster fathers worked for the same company as machinists, unbeknownst to either. When Philip visited his daughters at the Rushing foster home for the very first time, he realized that Otis was his co-worker and foster father to his daughters. Eartha maintains that although being raised in a good home with a strong Christian upbringing, being raised in a foster home added to her isolation because “no matter how good things are, you still long to be with your () family.”〔
Eartha's birth mother Zinna died in 1995, followed by her foster mother Lucy in 1998. Each death had a profound effect on her music. Many of the tracks from the record ''Sidebars'' are a result of her losses.〔〔Christian Moore, Dysonna, May/June 2002, p. 32-33.〕
