Tom Moran was born and raised in Carnarsie, Brooklyn. His latest album "Aint't Gonna Give Up" marks an entirely new direction for Tom and his career as a country and rock recording artist. Tom is a gifted lyricist and vocalist whose talents have been compared to Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen. Inspired by these great artists, Tom is on a mission to forge his own unique style of country and rock 'n' roll music.

His first album, "Starting Over" was a tribute to the power of sobriety and second chances. Songs such as, "I Would Drink", "Starting Over", and "Into The Sun", reflect on Tom's life experiences. On his latest album, "Ain't Gonna Give Up", Tom struggles with different topics in his personal life, such as: divorce, a broken heart, rejection, and being a single parent. Such songs as, "Ain't Gonna Give Up", "Dyin' For You", "No Big Deal", "This Poor Boy", "Wanna Love" and "Kisses & Hugs" are inspired by very peronal issues in Tom's life.

Born to an alcoholic father, Tom took to drinking at an early age. This initial casual drinking would turn into an all out addiction that consumed his life. Determined not to go down the same road as his father did, Tom sought help through a recovery program. Tom Moran a.k.a., Daddy Rocker has been clean and sober now for over 21 years and he has a Master's Degree from Brooklyn College. He is also a Public School Teacher for over 14 years. Tom's inspirations are his son Jonathan and his father-in-law Dr. John who is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Tom's life experiences and recovery from addiction have given him the ability to create music that is deeply personal with a universal appeal.

Tom Moran is currently working on a new video "Ain't Gonna Give Up', directed by Ade Richardson, scheduled to be released in late 2011.
