Starla was born in Geneva County and raised in a small town called Hartford, Alabama.  Starla was raised in a Christian Home with Christian values and attended church on a regular basis. Starla has been singing since the young age of three.  Starla took voice, piano, guitar and organ lessons when growing up.  Performing played a big role in Starla’s life.  Starla would perform at churches, beauty shops, garage sales, school functions, town functions, charity functions, basically it did not matter what the occasion, if people would listen she would sing.  One of Starla’s favorite things to do was singing at the nursing homes, which she still presently does along with her daughter Kayla.  Christian ministry plays a big role in Starla's life.

 

In Starla’s teen years she was a regular on the local opry called the “Ole Taylor Made Opry” and traveled with the opry on the road.  Starla performed with several country artists such as: Ernest Tubbs, Justin Tubbs, David Houston, Dell Wood, Gene Watson, Speck Rhodes, LuLu Roman (formerly on Hee Haw), Box Car Willie, Ernie Ashworth, Don Gibson, Wally Fowler, Charlie McCoy, Jim Owen, and Charlie Walker to name a few.  She also performed in Nashville at the Nashville Jubilee!  Starla has made appearances on several local TV shows such as “The Country Boy Eddie Show” in Birmingham, Alabama and The Ann Varnum Show in Dothan, Alabama.  Starla had the honor of performing at the Annual Hank Williams Memorial Celebration held in Alabama and Starla also attended “Fan Fair” in Nashville where she had a booth and got to meet and greet her fans while spreading the word of God's Love.  

 

Starla has toured with gospel groups such as The Chosen Heirs, from Dothan, Alabama, in 1999.  Prior to that, Starla toured with her sisters Reflections of Faith, from Hartford, Alabama.  Other Christian gospel artists Starla has performed with are Twice Robin, Cricket Lee, Jack Greene, Chuck Day, The Ranger Quartet, The Gilmore Brothers, James Blackwood, Larry Ford and Son Country's Radio Personality Fred Bacher.

 

The Lord has blessed Starla with a wonderful family, her husband of twenty-one  years, Darin Moore and their beautiful daughter Kayla Moore who is eighteen.   

 

Starla’s singing career was placed on hold when their daughter was diagnosed with Stage 4, Neuroblastoma cancer at the young age of thirteen months old.  The doctors gave them no hope of Kayla surviving.  The Lord gave Starla a peace that he was going to heal their daughter when the time was right.  When Starla spoke of this to the doctors they would always tell her that Kayla was not going to survive, that she needed to be realistic.  Starla thanked the doctors for their honesty, but told them they do not decide her child’s future, GOD does. 

 

Treatments lasted for one full year where Starla and Kayla were only home three days out of each month for that entire year.  Prayers began pouring out worldwide for their child, and prayers were answered. 

 

Five days before Kayla’s second birthday the Moore’s received the call from the doctors.  Kayla’s latest test results showed that the cancer had disappeared.  Kayla has been in remission now for thirteen years and still shocking the doctors with her progress.  We give GOD the GLORY, the HONOR, and the PRAISE for this miracle.

Starla has a personal relationship with God and is dedicated to serving HIM and using the talents given her to do HIS will.  Starla’s desire is to reach as many people as possible spreading the wonderful gospel of GOD’s great love for each and every one of us.  Starla hopes to give people who are hurting, needy and lost, true hope and inspiration that will last through eternity with the Lord in their hearts. There is nothing more rewarding than to be a servant for GOD!
