In 1986 he was the keyboard player with the band Cutting Crew, appearing on their hit single "(I Just) Died in Your Arms", and founded The Kashmir Klub in 1997 to showcase live music in London.

A fan of progressive rock, Moore was working in the Hi-Fi department of Debenhams store in Bristol, and had just bought a small Korg synthesiser when he saw an advertisement in the Melody Maker for a keyboard player for a London band.

No matter how much I liked and respected Steve's dream, and passion and energy, I didn't seem to fit in.Moore decided to leave to join Tanz Der Youth soon afterwards, as he felt keyboards did not suit the sound Iron Maiden were looking for at the time.

In Tanz Der Youth, he began working with Brian James (from The Damned) releasing the single "I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry" on RADAR Records, touring in support for Black Sabbath and The Stranglers, before moving on to join a progressive rock band called England.

In the early 1980s, he formed his own group called Radio Java and made an album at Abbey Road Studios that spawned a number-one hit single in the Netherlands, before disbanding after the label closed down.

He released one single to critical acclaim (including airplay from Bob Harris) before joining forces with Argentine singer-songwriter Marie Claire D'ubaldo.
