Warfus Powell, Jr.
Warfus "Moon" Powell, Jr., was born
the son of a preacher man in Kansas
City, Missouri. As one of 9 children,
all were musically talented thanks to
their strong faith upbringing. It is
here that Moon refined his vocal and
keyboard talents. Growing up, a
frequent visitor to the Powell home
was R & B great, Johnny Taylor. In
1981, Moon packed his bags and a
keyboard and journeyed to California,
settling in San Luis Obispo. Here he
met another musical soul, Mitch Watts,
and the two have
been creating
music ever since.
As a talented
writer and
musician, Moon
has produced five
CD's to his credit
with number six
on the way.
