Romanthony (born Anthony Wayne Moore; September 5, 1967 – May 7, 2013)[1][2] was an American DJ, producer, and singer.[3] He is perhaps best known for his work with French duo Daft Punk, providing vocals for "One More Time" and "Too Long" from their Discovery album.[4]
Anthony Wayne Moore was born in New Jersey on September 5, 1967.
His work crossed several genres, including house, R&B, and hip hop. Tracks like "Hold On" make extensive use of sampling with a distinctly soulful house feel, while the later "Bring U Up" uses a James Brown–style breakbeat.
Most notably, he worked with Daft Punk on the song "One More Time", released in 2000. On November 7, 2012, he released his final musical contribution in the song "2Nite4U" with Kris Menace on his vocal collaboration album, Features.[5]
Romanthony appeared on Black Male Records (his own label), Roulé, Dim Mak Records, Azuli, Play It Again Sam (PIAS), Compuphonic, and Glasgow Underground Recordings.
Romanthony died on May 7, 2013, at his home in Austin, Texas, due to complications from kidney disease, according to family members. He was 45 years old.[2][6]
