Moss grew-up during the days of Marabi and Kwela music, dominated by the penny whistle wizards of the early sixties. He was also privileged to have come from a family and an environment that was rich with indigenous multicultural traditional music. The late Frans Mothoka Maake, popularly known as “Matascar” inspired Moss, and the late Charlie Thobejane, two of the most accomplished Marabi guitarists and penny whistle musicians of the time. They periodically played both as a duet and as trio (with Moss joining them) to entertain at wedding ceremonies. Amongst the people who inspired him are Ernest Mothle, Phillip Tabane, the late Ernest Cole and Geoff Mphakathi who exposed him to a broader spectrum of other practitioners of the art form such as Wes Montgomery and Lesley Spann, just to mention a few. These artists proved to be an enormous inspiration to him. Moss is basically informally trained. His technical development was achieved with tremendous speed, due to his immense love for music and the instrument. Apart from leading his band he conducts music workshops from time to time around Pretoria.
