Moore's career started off in a metalcore act known as Dead Like Me. He was the lead vocalist and played synthesizer as well. After some of the members were involved in a life-changing car accident, they decided to break up the band.
Moore was the second keyboard player of We Came as Romans, when their then-vocalist, Larry Clark, quit. He performed with the band for only 4 months.
Moore then joined I See Stars in 2009 after Zach Johnson, who has since rejoined the group, quit. He did all synthesizers, keyboards, and screams. Moore was not featured on their debut, 3-D; however, he was featured in the band's cover of "Your Love" for Fearless Records' compilation album Punk Goes Classic Rock. He performed in the band until June 14, 2010, when Moore and the band "came to a mutual agreement" to part ways. The band said that they "still love and support [Moore] in everything he chooses to do."[1]
After leaving I See Stars, Moore released a new song for his side project, CDVR, entitled "Electrocute to Galactic", on his official MySpace page. On August 1, 2011, he released his debut EP entitled Electronic Play and began playing promotional shows around the Midwest of America and eastern Canada. CDVR's official Facebook page stated that he is currently working on releasing a studio album to follow Electronic Play.
In July 2010 Moore released a clothing line entitled GHSTapparel. Moore stated that GHSTapparel is a clothing company that "represents individuality and sophistication by not abiding by the mainstream standard that has been set for each and every one of us - what to think, how to live your life, what to believe, how to luk, what's "cool". All of these assmptions that society have set for us are completely irrelevant to finding true individualism." Moore released two t-shirts for the inaugural line.
