Robert Steven Moore, also known as R. Stevie Moore or RSM, is an American musician born on January 18, 1952 in Nashville, Tennessee. He is considered the singer and songwriter who pioneered lo-fi/DIY music and is often referred to as the "godfather of home recording". With a career spanning over five decades, he has released approximately 400 albums independently since 1968.
Recognized as one of the most influential artists of the cassette underground, R. Stevie Moore's impact can be felt in the works of bedroom and hypnagogic pop artists in the post-millennium era. While about three dozen "official" albums (mostly compilations) have been released on various labels, his extensive discography showcases his prolific output and creative exploration.
In a surprising move, R. Stevie Moore announced his retirement from all musical activity and interviews through his website on New Year's Eve in 2019. Despite this announcement, his legacy as a groundbreaking artist continues to inspire musicians around the world.

To some he's the godfather, to others he's the king. Long before bedroom recording became an aesthetic choice, R. Stevie Moore built a legend of pop experimentalism, home recording, and mystic curmudgeonry. Equal parts songwriter, improviser, composer, producer, filmmaker, artist, and comedy writer, the self-taught Tennessean polymath has released hundreds of homemade albums since the '60s--and inspired a thousand times more. Rather than pose and slither in the music biz, Moore opted for a more genuine life and a spot on the staff at legendary indie radio station WFMU, sharing Bedroom Radio with the world. His independent streak extends to his record releases, the R. Stevie Moore Cassette Club successful and long-lasting enough that it became the R. Stevie Moore CD-R Club. By refusing to settle into any one genre or style, Moore has always dedicated himself to eccentric ideas and passions whether around the world or focused into his home. And as Moore now eases into a well-deserved retirement, ON EARTH stands as a powerful statement, an intimate companion, and a goofy guide through a storied career. Ranging all the way back to 1976's classic Phonography, the double-disc retrospective collects a full suite of dazzling power pop, psychedelia, and indie rock, and opens the gateway to the ultimate cult DIY hero.

For fans of Gary Wilson, Arthur Russell, Daniel Johnston, Beat Happening, Mac DeMarco, Tin Pan Alley to Frank Zappa (the angular synth lines of "I Wish I Could Sing"), from Roy Wood of the Move ("I've Begun to Fall in Love") to Sparks and the Bonzo Dog Band. Other songs are inspired by Todd Rundgren, Brian Wilson, Syd Barrett (the brilliantly titled "Wayne Wayne Go Away"), Cheap Trick, and XTC.
