In 1997, Moore co-founded the rock band Sick Puppies and remained their frontman, lead singer, guitarist, and co-songwriter for 17 years, releasing four studio albums with them. In 2012, he shared a Songwriter Award at the BMI Pop Awards for the 2010 Sick Puppies track "Maybe".[5] In 2014, he was fired from the band for undisclosed reasons.[6]

Later in 2014, Moore co-wrote the song "Wasted Love" for Matt McAndrew, which was debuted on season 7 of The Voice. The track went on to reach No. 1 on the US iTunes singles chart.[7]

In 2018, Moore formed the group Shim, which was essentially his backing band.[8] They released their first single, "Hallelujah", on 16 May, and followed it with a self-titled album in September that featured Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, Chad Smith, on two tracks.[9] Another single, "Crucified", came out in 2019. The same year, Moore co-wrote and recorded vocals for the official theme song of the video game Resident Evil 2, "Saudade",[10] which won Best Original Song in a Video Game at the 2019 Hollywood Music in Media Awards.[11][12] In December 2023, Shim released a parody Christmas EP titled Drunk on Christmas.

Other projects

[edit | edit source]

Moore co-hosts the podcast Rockstar 101 with Brandon Coates.[13] During the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdowns imposed by the Australian government, he created a channel on Twitch called The Hollywood Rebellion,[14] where he live-streamed acoustic performances, Q&A sessions, and collaborative songwriting projects called "The Lockdown Sessions".[13] He also offers songwriting classes on his website.[15]
