For Ines Moreno III, his passion started with singing, then dance, then beats, and finally lyrics.
Moreno is a junior at Simpson University majoring in business marketing. Although his academic focus is in business, his true passion lies in music. Moreno aspires to become a music producer, inspired by his favorite producer, Pharrell Williams. Since he was 4 years old, Moreno knew he wanted to be an artist. It all started when he would watch American Idol and heard Adam Lambert sing.
Lambert brought Moreno to music. After Lambert, Moreno was inspired by Michael Jackson’s dancing. Spending hours in his room watching videos and teaching himself the moves. Later, he found inspiration from the Black Eyed Peas, shifting his focus from lyrics to the beat and finding a love for beats. Finally, Tupac’s lyrics revealed to Moreno the emotional depth and storytelling power that comes from writing from the heart.
“Music is something that can uplift a person’s spirit and can be a friend,” Moreno said.
On Nov 1st, 2025, Moreno had his first concert, After Dark, presented by Jungala. This concert was a dream for Moreno that he did not think would happen anytime soon. Logan Haskell, his friend and visual director, ran the concert.
“Ines is ambitious, always energetic, and on the road to greatness,” said Haskell.
The concert unlocked a different side of Moreno that he did not think was possible at this point in his life.
“The concert made me see a part of myself that was always there but I did not know,” said Moreno.
As a business marketing major, Moreno hopes to one day own a business. He also plans to use his business degree in music. He feels that his degree may not right away help him with his music, but eventually will.
Moreno’s ultimate dream regarding music would be to be a producer and songwriter, staying in California. One day he hopes to help artists in LA or the Bay Area. However, his ultimate dream would be to work with bigger artists like Kendrick Lamar or Pharrell Williams.
Moreno offers two pieces of advice:
“Understanding what you want and studying what you want to do as you're doing.”
“If you have a passion for something, learn and do it you can’t just get caught up in the learning and not do it.”
