In 2003, ten-year-old Texas native Christopher Moore, under the name
Lil Twist, scored a Dallas-area pop-rap hit with "Texas Twist." The performing name stuck, though a couple years passed before Moore's career advanced farther, when he sought out
Lil Wayne at a concert and impressed the multi-platinum rapper enough to become his protégé. Signed to
Wayne's Young Money label in early 2010, Moore debuted there with "The Leak," featuring
Wayne, which became his first single to reach Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The following year, XXL magazine featured Moore in their annual Freshman Class feature, and he issued a second charting single with another assist from
Wayne, "Love Affair." "Turn't Up," featuring
Busta Rhymes, charted in 2012, but Moore's debut album, Don't Get It Twisted, never materialized. Throughout the next few years, Moore recorded with the likes of
Mindless Behavior and
Soulja Boy, appeared on the Young Money compilation
Rise of an Empire, and continued to release mixtapes. ~ Andy Kellman
