Different Moon

Different Moon was founded in 2015 by North Carolina (USA) songwriter/producer Jim Piper. At the early age of 37, Piper’s long-time high school friend and fellow keyboardist/songwriting partner, Mike Smith, passed away. Piper decided to honor his memory by sharing with the public five unreleased songs co-written by Piper/Smith, thereby releasing a debut EP under the artist name Different Moon. Encouraged by interest from new fans and driven by a passion for music, Piper decided to continue writing and releasing new songs as Different Moon. Between 2015 and 2023, Piper released three EP’s, sixteen singles, and received over twenty international songwriting nominations. The music of Different Moon continues to evolve, but its foundation is a blend of pop, rock, and alternative melodically crafted together.
