The Qarah derives its name from the Hebrew word ‘qarah’ (kaw-raw), which essentially means ‘right place, right time’. It also means to encounter or come across something of significance. The Qarah was founded through Ramsay Moore’s desire to find a voice for his music. Ramsay initially had his start playing acoustic gigs at coffee houses, churches, and community venues - most of which were connected to various social justice events. He primarily played his own original material and over time saw the need to put together a record. Realizing the cost involved with bringing a project from concept to reality, he began to build his own recording studio. What then came to be was an extraordinary first EP, birthed from humble beginnings and a steep learning curve both technically and musically.
 
The Qarah released the EP "Hesitate", with single "Breath of Life" leading the way. "Breath of Life" describes the contrast between hopelessness in purposeless living and then the moment you grab onto faith and find purpose in a power greater than yourself. The follow-up single "Break These Chains" deals with letting go of the toxic things that chain us down and keep us from being all we are meant to be. Overall, the EP “Hesitate” is full of life’s lessons sung with extreme intensity and the music to match.

IMQ, is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise smug music industry. Hailing from Long Beach, California comes the Ghanaian composer/rapper/singer with much audacity and spunk.

 At the tender age of 7, IMQ discovered the prowess of his vocal instrument. He began experimenting and testing the depths of his musical creativity at age 10, learning to compose and write his own music. He learned to sing by mimicking songs that he heard on the radio and Disney animations. IMQ’s first work of art was developed with Steve Milne from Grounds for Dismissal, entitled “What Love Feels Like.” Self-sufficient and independent, IMQ brilliantly taught himself to produce music using a music software program called Cakewalk. The talent was present, but support was lacking. 


The decision to dedicate his being to music was not an easy one. Anyone who has parents knows how they can have a gripping influence on crucial decisions we make in life. For IMQ, this was the decision to devote his life to his music, or to devote himself to the life his parents wanted for him. Fortuitous to the music world, he dedicated his talents to create positivity through music. Along the journey, he worked with music producer, Quino, in Atlanta who taught him invaluable skills on how to structure a song with masterly finesse. A coalescence of these skills and fortunes produced the artist that he is today: fearless, unconventional, and enterprising. 


Specializing in pop, Dance, Urban music; IMQ creates music that colors outside of the lines, especially pertaining to the subject matter of his lyrics. He draws inspiration from his African heritage and everyday surroundings. Traveling and being on the open road helps him to escape the noise of his life and enter the realm of musical inventiveness. He rides on the fast-propelling wings of self-assurance knowing he can sing almost any genre of music. IMQ music can almost be considered alternative. His ability to set himself apart from other artists is rooted in his evasion of the banalities of today’s music culture. Musical masters like Michael Jackson, Prince, James Brown, Seal, Bruno Mars, Daft Punk, and Drake  are recognized for the contributions they made in influencing his style.

The Movado Watch company noticed IMQ’s talent and featured his song, “Hot Lil Thang” in their watch campaign. Later, he was awarded Movado’s Future Legends plaque, presented by Derek Jeter and, Movado CEO, Efraim Grinberg.
IMQ’s song, When She’s Around, was featured in the movie “Pieces of David.” IMQ did a Snap Chat reality series called Second Chance in 2018. Stay tuned to see IMQ play the part of Lil Tone, in Joe Robert Cole (co-wrote Black Panther) Netflix movie “All Day And A Night.” IMQ is a SAG Actor with more roles on the way. While these accomplishments are commendable, IMQ’s greatest achievements are yet to come. He aspires to sell out Madison Square Garden, win a Grammy, be the main headliner at the Super Bowl, and establish a foundation for musically gifted children who are passionate about learning music. The journey is only beginning for this budding artist, and he wants your support on the road to success!
