Born in Alice Springs, Moss moved to Adelaide, where he began his professional career in 1973, after answering a newspaper advertisement for a new band. Joining Steve Prestwich, Don Walker and Jimmy Barnes, the band Cold Chisel became one of the most successful Australian bands of the 1970s and 1980s.

When Cold Chisel disbanded in 1984, its members embarked on solo careers. Moss' first album Matchbook (released in 1989), reached number one on the album charts, and spawned several hit singles including the number one hit Tucker's Daughter and another top ten hit Telephone Booth. Moss won five ARIA Awards that year for the album and its singles.

Subsequent albums failed to generate the level of enthusiasm that his debut had caused but he continued to record and perform, in later years evolving his rock sound into a more traditional blues style.
