Ed Sheeran cover video catches the attention of many

Father and son opera duo

Justin J. Moore is a pop and opera singer who just recently released a cover of Ed Sheeran's Perfect Symphony, which he sang with his father Paul Moore, a well known tenor across the Okanagan.

The video which was posted on Jan. 4, 2020, already has more than 25,000 views on YouTube.

Justin J. Moore says he didn't expect such an overwhelming response in such a short period of time.

"People really like the video," says Moore. "There's always an expectation that some people are going to see it, but the real reason I posted that video and the real reason I approached my dad to record that video is because we like singing together."

Ed Sheeran sings Perfect Symphony with well known Italian opera singer, Andrea Bocelli.

"It's really cool to hear a mainstream pop artist like Ed Sheeran get together with a classical tenor like Andrea Bocelli and I think that just kind of like shocked us," says Moore. "For people who love opera like my dad and [I], that was kind of a big deal."

Growing up in Vernon, Moore was always involved with music and regularly participated in his parents shows, as they too are both opera singers.

Moore currently has six of his own songs released, but the Perfect Symphony cover is the first video he has done alongside his father. 

"Our voices are so similar yet just different enough that they blend so well," says Moore. "He's got an opera voice and I've got a certain amount of that but because I'm younger and because I'm not as trained as him, it's less opera and a bit more pop."

Moore says this is the beginning of a big year for him musically, and people can soon expect another cover which he will sing with his mother, Melina Schein. 

Moore's work is available on the following streaming platforms, here.
