We had the good fortune of connecting with Isaiah Moore and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Isaiah, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
When I embarked on the journey of creating “IRMTALENT,” my thought process was rooted in a deep understanding of the challenges that creative individuals often face when expressing their passions and hobbies. I envisioned a platform where people could freely embrace their true selves, whether immersing themselves in another world as a character, honing their acting skills, or showcasing their modeling talents. I recognized the need for a space where creative souls could break free from the constraints of societal norms and share their passions without fear. “IRMTALENT” became that space, a nurturing community where artists and dreamers could flourish. I’ve witnessed incredible transformations and the untamed fire of ambition as our members rise to new heights, from cosplay to acting to modeling. We celebrate diversity and uniqueness, and in the world of “IRMTALENT,” everyone finds their place to grow, improve, and truly shine.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

I owe a significant part of my success with “IRMTALENT” to the unwavering support and mentorship of my dear friend and colleague, Michael “Tiny” Alcorn. As I ventured into the challenging realm of running a business and navigating the intricacies of talent management, it was Tiny who stood by my side, offering invaluable guidance and sharing his expertise. His mentorship paved the way for me, making it possible to build and nurture this creative community. I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the remarkable individuals who form the core of our IRMTALENT team. Anthony Fisheli, our Assistant Manager, brings unparalleled dedication and enthusiasm. As my Personal Assistant, Ralph Bria has been our operations’ backbone. Clara Recinos, our talented Photographer, has captured the essence of countless talents, and Felix Perez, our Stage Crew member, ensures our events run smoothly. Together, with their unwavering commitment and passion, we continue to elevate IRMTALENT to greater heights.
