A former teen model and dancer, Betty Moon found success in the Toronto music scene at an early age.

To date, Betty Moon has released eight records including her A&M Records self-titled debut, STIR, Doll Machine on EMI Music, Demon Flowers, Rollin' Revolution, Amourphous, Pantomania and CHROME.
Amourphous, which Moon produced and features the single, “Valentine,” was mixed by Grammy Award-winner Chris Lord-Alge. Moon’s music has been featured in a variety of television shows and films including Californication, Dexter, Bounty Hunters, Walking the Dead directed by Melanie Ansley, and Last Gasp starring Robert Patrick.
In 2010, Moon relocated to Los Angeles and released Rollin’ Revolution, which garnered airplay on popular L.A. rock radio station KROQ. In 2013, Moon was a featured artist at the Sunset Strip Music Festival, sharing the stage with Marilyn Manson, Quiet Riot, Black Label Society, and The Offspring. Moon continues to be a regular performer at iconic venues such as The Roxy, Whisky a Go Go, and The Viper Room in Hollywood, California.
