INDEPENDENT ARTISTS UNITED THROUGH MUSIC.
PRESTON MOREAU
HEIDI MOREAU
LEAD VOCALS & SONGWRITER
Heidi is the ever-passionate and talented female vocalist for iU Band. She is influenced by the likes of Ella, Enya, and the great Imogen Heap. She and her husband, Preston, are the people you want to travel the world with - adventurous and always up for the challenge. Heidi is a Holy Yoga instructor and finds her heart in empowering women.
JAMES POWELL
LEAD VOCALS & SONGWRITER
iU Band founder, James, loves all things composing and collaborating. He has led iU Band overseas to China on 4 tours, most recently in the winter of 2012 through the Yunnan Province. His eccentric personality and energetic performances make him a dynamic artist on stage and off. James also has a slight obsession with costumes and theater-style stage production.
PRESTON MOREAU
BASS & SOUND ENGINEER
Preston is the hardworking perfectionist that makes iU tick. He loves all things production and audio engineering. Preston is most comfortable in the studio, working out new tracks with a passion for precision that's hard to find. Preston is one of the good ones - an honest musician and friend - and we plan to keep him for...ever.
CORY MURDOCK
LEAD VOCALS & SONGWRITER
Cory likes music (and hipsters seem to love him). He tends to write really intense lyrics that you can't help bobbing your head to. His musical style is influenced by folk and death metal. On a more serious note, he is passionate about reaching out and encouraging youth to go beyond the status quo. His lyrics are deeply rooted and his song writing is inspired.
JENNY TAYLOR
GUITAR
Jenny is the spontaneous, creative, sometimes-misunderstood-but-totally-appreciated, zany brain that feeds more brilliance in one quick "So I was thinking" idea than most do in a lifetime. Can you tell we love her? Jenny is talented in all things - music, acting, soccer, skateboarding, and most recently - karate.
AUSTIN GIBSON
DRUMS & LIVE SOUND ENGINEER
Austin - known to his iU family as "haüs" - quickly made his way into our hearts from the very first time we heard him laugh. Our Birmingham brother is a force to be reckoned with on-stage as a drummer and off as the best live sound engineer we've ever known. Austin has travelled the world with the likes of IMAX and our Raggamuffin family that is iU Band.
