He has opened for hip-hop luminaries like Run DMC, Public Enemy and The Sugar Hill Gang, but his early taste for DJing was developed in the halls of Deansrath Community College, where Eric and his friends started their own radio station as ambitious teenage DJs. Golden Years with Eric Moore is on RTÉ Gold every Sunday from 5pm to 6pm.
