Increased Awareness of the Independent Artist / Band has coincided with the growth of the Internet and its surrounding technologies over the last 15 years. The technological growth has been both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is in the explosion of opportunity for artists to record and promote their music on their own terms, without the need for big budgets, or a traditional record deal. The curse is in that same opportunity: so many people have taken advantage of these options, that the perception between the true artist and the star struck imitator is blurred. Radio today still leads the way as a top media source for the average listener to hear what is popular, and millions are trying to break their way on to the airways. In 2010, already in the midst of a decade plus recording and production career, Anthony “Moose Harris” Daniels stumbled into a new opportunity for himself, and hundreds of other Artists and Bands.

 

While on a networking trip to the studios of KSCL 91.3 FM (Centenary College Radio) in Shreveport, Louisiana, Daniels was randomly asked if he would like to create and host his own Radio Show. Daniels said “yes” before even thinking about it! Urban Flosarus hit the airwaves for the first time on August 18, 2010 at 10pm.

 

A menagerie of music backed by the “straight forward with a twist of fun” voice of Moose Harris is what thousands of listeners have been entertained by for  years. Moose has been credited with opening the ears of listeners to new artists from around the world. To date, artists submitting music to Urban Flosarus has come from over 35 American States, and 13 other countries, introducing music coming from Independent / underground Hotbeds such as New Orleans, Atlanta, Buffalo, Seattle, and from far off places as London, Tokyo and New Zealand. A number of artists have come on the air with Moose to provide another form of connection with the listener. Artists like Dee-1, Big Mike, Marcel P. Black, & Lyriqs Da Lyrciss  can credit Urban Flosarus as a springboard to bigger accolades. The show also shows its cooperation with the Independent / Underground Community by interviewing representatives of the culture that Urban Flosarus presents every week.

 

When it comes to Entertaining, Enlightening, Introducing, and Educating, no one in Syndicated Radio is doing it like Anthony “Moose Harris” Daniels & Urban Flosarus.
