[5] Moran began his career back in 1981, teaming with his friend Albert Cabrera[6] as The Latin Rascals.

Their edited versions of hit songs spliced together enjoyed major airplay on the New York City dance radio WKTU's mix show.

Shortly thereafter, they were contracted by Fever Records to write and produce a song for one of their new acts, the Cover Girls.

This opened the doors for new artists including TKA,[3] Sa-Fire ("Boy, I've Been Told"), and Lisette Melendez ("Together Forever").

In December 2012, Moran also released another original production with the late Donna Summer entitled "Valley of the Moon" which was recorded at the same time as "You're So Beautiful".
