She first gained recognition as the inaugural signee of Louis Silas, Jr.'s Silas Records, where her debut album, Precious, released in 1992, marked the beginning of her illustrious career. The album's standout singles, "Love's Taken Over" and "It's Alright," both soared into the top twenty of the R&B charts, propelling the album to Gold status in the United States.

Moore continued to evolve as an artist, releasing four additional solo albums, including Love the Woman in 2008, Moore Is More in 2013, The Rise of the Phoenix in 2017, and Christmas Back to You, also in 2017. Her single "Real One" marked her latest top ten hit on the US Adult R&B Songs chart. Beyond her musical achievements, she ventured into television in 2013, starring in TV One's reality series R&B Divas: Los Angeles for three seasons. In 2014, she shared her personal journey through her autobiographical self-help book, Will I Marry Me?
