All that is to say, you\u2019re never too old to rock the world, your way.\r\nBut it does beg the question, \u201cHow do you continue to bring yourself fully to a world that seems to constantly focus on youth and beauty?\u201d And even more compelling, \u201cWhat is the benefit of staying in your groove, your passion, your wheelhouse, when all signs might point towards telling you to make a change, change, change?\u201d\r\nBringing his full self to the lounge today is Grammy-award nominated dance music, DJ, producer extraordinaire Tony Moran \u2013 a man who\u2019s beat never misses a beat.

When artists like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Beyonc\u00e9, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Mary J Blige, Janet Jackson and Jennifer Lopez want to tear up the dance floor, they call upon the top-ranked DJ and Grammy\u2122 nominated producer and remixer for The Moran Sound \u2014 hard hitting tribal house anthems infused with the latest cutting edge sounds in electronica.\r\nTony Moran, however, is more than a man that works the DJ booth and studio. An accomplished singer and songwriter, he has released a number of independent singles and CDs throughout his three-decade long (and counting) career. His latest offering, entitled MAGIC is a universal embrace of soul, sympathy and conviction. MAGIC has been two years in the making, and follows hot on the heels of his previous tour de force double dance CD, THE EVENT. The lead single from MAGIC is You Are, an original Moran composition featuring powerful vocals by Frenchie Davis.\r\nWith more than 800 titles, dozens of Top 40 pop hits and countless No. 1 dance singles to his credit, the two-time Grammy-nominated Tony Moran shows no signs of slowing down. Driven as ever, but imbued with the creative freedom to develop and evolve his trademark sound on his own terms, Tony Moran \u2014 like his contemporaries and role models Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, Bob Sinclair and David Guetta \u2014 is taking his music across the globe from the Americas to Europe to Asia and back.\r\nWebsite\r\nFacebook\r\nTwitter\r\nSoundcloud\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n<a class="a2a_button_twitter" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Frickclemons.com%2Fepisode-200-celebrating-music-milestones-lgbtq-life-tony-moran%2F&linkname=Episode%20200%3A%20Celebrating%20the%20Music%20%26%20Milestones%20of%20our%20LGBTQ%20Life%20%...","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/4b9b6c41-474a-4fd0-a374-cbb2a7aa23a4/1400x1400_uncloseted_artwork-01-573.jpg"}
