INTERVIEW: Brand new single from Seb Turner-Moore

Seb Turner-Moore has spent the last decade building an artistic vision via candid songwriting and the simple desire to bring people together through music. Blending indie pop appeal with heartfelt storytelling, his songs reflect the experiences that have shaped his life, transforming moments of love, self-discovery and human connection into uplifting, relatable releases. Every chapter of his journey has left its mark on his music, creating a catalogue that grows alongside the artist himself.

Originally from the south east of England, Seb devoted years to developing his songwriting and production before relocating to London. The city’s creativity and energy helped further inform his artistic direction, offering new experiences that naturally filtered into his music. Now based in Switzerland, he continues to grow both personally and creatively, bringing together influences gathered from every stage of that journey while writing songs influenced by genuine emotion.

His songwriting reflects a belief that music can encourage compassion and positivity, offering listeners not just memorable melodies but also a sense of shared understanding. The same context extends to his performances; known for his energetic and expressive stage presence, Seb approaches every live show as an opportunity to create a collective emotional experience, driven by his aim is to leave audiences feeling uplifted, connected and united,.

That outlook has steadily earned recognition across the UK and over recent years, his music has received multiple BBC radio plays alongside continued support from BBC Introducing. Singles including “Play That Song Again,” “Don’t Leave Me Out” and “Another Love” have all featured across BBC Radio Sussex, BBC Radio Kent and BBC Radio 5 Live, while “Play That Song Again” was recognised as BBC Introducing Track of the Day.

Now, Seb Turner-Moore enters a new creative chapter revolving around romance, attraction and the emotional journey that accompanies meaningful human connection. His latest releases explore every stage of that experience, from the excitement of first encounters to the uncertainty and personal growth that relationships often bring. It represents both a shift in subject matter as well as also an evolution in his artistic image, embracing themes of love, passion and emotion through uplifting indie pop production. Ushering in that new era is his latest single titled “Spin, Stop, GO!,” a vibrant release that captures the carefree excitement of summer.

Bright, playful and brimming with infectious energy, the track distils the feeling of warm evenings, spontaneous adventures and the brief moments that have the power to change everything. Jumping straight into a grooving, disco-inflected jam, the snap of punchy drums and pulse of bass injects a funky energy while Seb’s rhythmic vocal delivery rolls above to spin instantly catchy hooks above. Dashed with bursts of crunchy rock vibes and colourful synth-tinged flashes, it’s an exhilarating listening experience from start to finish that’s sure to win over new listeners around the world.

Thematically, the song follows the emotional rush of a night out, tracing the journey from initial hesitation to the spark of an unexpected connection. A glance across a crowded room suddenly pauses time before everything begins moving once again, an idea neatly reflected in the song’s distinctive title. Putting his songwriting flair and performance panache on full display, “Spin, Stop, GO!” serves up a thrilling pop experience that’s utterly intoxicating, energising and original all at once.

We caught up with Seb Turner-Moore to find out more about his musical journey so far, his new single “Spin, Stop, GO!” and what he’s got lined up for the future. Check out our interview with Seb Turner-Moore below.

What’s your earliest memory of making music?

My earliest memory of making music goes back to when I was 12 and visiting a friend’s house for a family lunch. His dad happened to be a successful composer for ITV and the BBC, and as we were leaving, he invited us up to his recording studio. Over the next two hours we recorded my first ever track (it was pretty bad!), but the experience sparked something in me, and I knew from that moment that making music was what I wanted to do forever.

Which artists do you draw most inspiration from?

Artists like Benson Boone, The 1975, Sombr and Maroon 5 are huge inspirations to me. I really admire their sound and image, and they’ve played a big role in shaping my own identity and style as an artist. I’ve always tried to channel my high energy into my music and image, and this next era of releases will also reflect the journey of love and romantic experiences I’ve gained over the years. For me, it’s about understanding why these artists and bands have been so successful. Their energetic, pop-driven style inspires me to bring that same spirit into my own music.

How else do you find inspiration for your music?

I get a lot of inspiration simply from listening to music. I love exploring all kinds of genres because there are no limits to music, and every style can spark new ideas. I’m always drawn to creating catchy melodies while blending elements from different genres. Inspiration can come from anywhere, whether it’s the sound of a church bell or me improvising on the piano, those moments often set me off on a creative flow and become the starting point for a song.

What do you love about the UK music scene?

I think there’s such a fantastic mix of genres in the UK right now. It’s brilliant to see so many styles being embraced, from pop with Harry Styles, to rock and roll with Yungblud, to soul and jazz with RAYE and Olivia Dean, and alternative indie pop with Sombr. The music scene feels incredibly diverse, and that makes me really happy because, to me, music has always been about the freedom to celebrate different genres, images and styles.

What would you say is the perfect setting for listeners to enjoy your music?

I think my music is made for those moments that bring people together and make memories. Whether it’s a late-night drive with the windows down, an early morning road trip watching the sunrise, a beachside summer evening with friends, or an outdoor party, I want my songs to bring an upbeat and positive energy to any setting. My music is all about creating feel-good moments and providing the soundtrack to experiences that people will remember.

How has your own sound and style evolved since you started out?

My sound and style have evolved in so many ways, from the production and storytelling in my songs to having a much clearer definition of my image as an artist. A lot of that growth has come through experience. I’ve always used music as a way of expressing what I’ve lived through, and over the years I’ve exposed myself to all kinds of genres and styles to broaden my understanding of music. Combining that with my own life experiences has helped me grow not only as a songwriter, but as an artist with a much stronger sense of identity and purpose.

Who would be your dream artist to collaborate with?

For me, it would have to be The 1975. Their music has been a huge part of my life and has provided the soundtrack to so many memories and experiences over the years. I’d love the opportunity to create something with them and hopefully make music that resonates with people in the same way their songs have resonated with me.

How did you find making your new single ‘Spin Stop GO!’?

It was a really enjoyable and creative process for me. From the start, I wanted the track to be driven by big bass and drums, creating an upbeat, funky energy. Lyrically, I wanted to kick off this new era of love with a song that captures that exciting moment when you first meet someone, whether it’s in a bar, at a party, or anywhere else and suddenly everything around you fades away. All you want to do is dance with them, have fun, and enjoy that first spark. This song was a joy to make, and every time that opening drum intro kicks in, it still puts a smile on my face.

What message did you want to get across with this release?

I wanted this track to capture that exact moment when you meet someone for the first time in a bar or at a party and everything else just fades out. It’s like the whole room hits pause for a second. The noise, the crowd, all of it, and all you can feel is that pull toward one person.

From there, it’s all movement. You don’t overthink it, you just dance, you just connect, and you get lost in the energy between you. That’s really where Spin Stop GO! comes from this bass-heavy, drum-driven, funk-inspired world that kicks off my journey of love era. It’s about that rush, that spark, and the idea that when something feels right in the moment, you stop everything… and then you go.

What artist have you been listening to most recently?

I’ve been listening to Sombr a lot recently. I really love the heavy indie pop, funk-leaning style in his music, and how open and honest his songwriting is. It’s something that really connects with me and feeds into how I approach my own writing as well.

What’s the main thing you want people to get out of listening to your music?

I want to build a community that brings people together through shared experiences, connection, and love. For me, music has always been about more than just sound; it’s about creating moments where people feel something together, whether that’s joy, nostalgia, or just feeling understood.

Everything I do is rooted in trying to spread kindness and positivity in a real, honest way. I’m not trying to force a message, but I do want that energy to naturally come through in the songs, in the lyrics, the production, and the feeling behind it.

If my music can give people even a small escape, or make them feel a bit lighter, or put a smile on their face when they need it most, then that’s the goal. Because at the end of the day, I think the world is a better place when people feel a little more connected, a little more seen, and a little more happy.

What’s been your favourite live performance so far?

For me, my favourite live show so far has definitely been my EP release show at The Ivy House in London. The whole night was built around the release of my EP “Welcome To The Start”, and it felt really special to have a room full of people there specifically to celebrate that moment with me.

There was such a strong sense of support and connection in the room, hearing people sing along and feel the music in real time was honestly an incredible feeling. It’s one thing releasing music into the world, but having it come back at you like that in a live setting is something else entirely.

And on top of that, having Florence and the Machine there was a real honour. Just knowing she was present and supporting the night made the whole experience even more surreal and unforgettable.

Who would be 3 artists that would headline your festival? And where would it be?

For me I would have Nothing But Thieves, Sombr and The 1975. And location I’d love to have it up in the mountains in the alps as the mountains have always been a big part of my life being a very competent skier. So to have that love of music in the same location would be very cool!

Do you have any advice for a new artist wanting to follow in your footsteps?

Don’t be afraid of just being yourself. Showing your raw self and learning to be as open in your music as possible will resonate most with your audience and create a close community. And most importantly LOVE what you do!

Finally, what do you have lined up next?

I’m currently embarking on an era of music I’m calling Love’s Path. This is an era of music I am being very open with and through my music sharing the journey of love. And there will be more on the way that shapes that storytelling through my own experiences with love.
