King Moore: A Rising Star on a Mission to Inspire and Unite
At just 75 pounds, 8-year-old King Moore is emerging as a powerful voice for the Alpha generation. With a blend of music, acting, and political activism, he is capturing hearts across the nation. King’s radiant smile and relentless determination have made him a sensation. With visionary manager and Grammy-winning music publisher Tony Mercedes—known for hits like Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” and TLC’s “No Scrubs”—King’s debut single “ABC,” released on April 30, 2024, has already amassed over four million views on YouTube.
But King’s ambitions extend far beyond personal fame. After a memorable FaceTime meeting with iconic songwriter Jackie DeShannon, he proposed a reimagining of her classic song “Put a Little Love in Your Heart.” This sparked the creation of The King Moore Unity Project, where he collaborated with six handpicked young artists and Grammy-nominated producer Sean McMillion to record the iconic track. The project aims to inspire hope and healing in an increasingly divisive world. As Tony Mercedes aptly noted, “The message was bigger than the melody,” emphasizing that with determination, anything is possible.
Jackie DeShannon reflected on the collaboration, saying, “The Angels came down from Heaven and sang my song. My brother Randy would have been so proud. I know he’s watching over me always.” The single is now available through Tribeca Records and Tony Mercedes Music.
King’s journey began at just three years old, nurtured by the unwavering support of his family. This year alone, he has starred in a national commercial for AT&T, joined the Dreamfest Tour alongside former Nickelodeon star That Girl Lay Lay, and acted in two feature films: Cora Bora and DreamWorks’ animated masterpiece Wild Robot, featuring Lupita Nyong’o. His impressive accomplishments caught the eye of Daytime Emmy-winning talk show host Tamron Hall, leading to a surprise invitation to her “Big Dreamers” series. On the anniversary of her 1,000th episode, Tamron committed to making King’s dream a reality by becoming the Executive Producer of his television show, “Everyone Loves King.” After the show, King exclaimed, “Today was the best day of my life!”
In addition to his entertainment endeavors, King was invited to the White House to participate in a Gun Violence Prevention initiative, where he moved lawmakers with his poignant statement: “Kids make up fifty percent of the population, but they also make up one hundred percent of the future.” He later recorded the song “Safe at School” to advocate for stricter gun safety laws, emphasizing the need for safer environments for his generation. “As a kid from the Alpha generation, and bring a special representative with Celebrities Against Gun Violence (CAGV), I know that better gun safety laws mean better chances for my generation to feel safe at school,” he asserted. King now travels the country speaking out about school safety while on the Dreamfest kids’ tour.
King Moore holds the distinction of being the youngest person ever to receive a proclamation from the city of Atlanta and the youngest hip-hop artist invited to speak at the White House. King and some of the members of the Unity Project were also the youngest to appear Live on stage at Times Square in celebration of International Peace Day to perform “Put A Little Love in Your Heart.”
Despite his many accomplishments, King cherishes the wisdom of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who said, “It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.” With this guiding principle, King is on a mission to transform not just the future of his generation but the world around him. While the ultimate outcome of his remarkable journey remains uncertain, one thing is clear: King Moore is destined to be remembered as one of the hardest-working kids in show business.

You’ve seen him in many great movies including “Without a Trace”, “9 ½ Weeks”, “Stakeout”, “Another Stakeout”, “Independence Day”, “Wide Awake”, “Total Stranger”, “The Signs of the Cross”, “Miranda’s Victim”, and most recently, he played Tipp O’Neill in “Reagan”.

Harvey Brownstone is a retired judge of the Ontario Court of Justice and was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He is also the bestselling author of “Tug of War: A Judge’s Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles and the Bitter Realities of Family Court” and hosted “Family Matters with Justice Harvey Brownstone,” a television talk show on matters involving the family justice system.
After a distinguished legal career, Harvey was appointed a judge at the age of 38 in 1995. He has presided in family and criminal courts. He has been a trailblazer in several ways. He was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He was the first sitting judge in the world to write a national best seller and to host a TV talk show.
Harvey has been a role model and icon in the LGBTQ community. When same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada in 2003, he was the only judge to make himself publicly available to officiate at weddings for lesbian and gay couples travelling to Toronto from all over the world to get married. In 2007, he officiated at the wedding of Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, the American couple whose marriage triggered the 2013 United States Supreme Court decision overturning the definition of “spouse” in the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
In February 2021, Harvey launched his online talk show “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” on his own YouTube channel. He saw this as an interesting hobby. Within several months, the show attracted hundreds of thousands – and then eventually, millions – of viewers. Because of the overwhelming success of the show, Harvey decided to retire from the judiciary on December 31, 2021 after having presided as a full-time judge for 26 1/2 years. Free from the constraints imposed upon judges regarding the expression of opinions and the endorsement of private enterprise, Harvey now happily devotes his full-time attention to hosting “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” as a regular member of the public – albeit one with a rather illustrious and unique career history.
