Bill Moss Jr. began playing the piano at age five. The world first took notice of Bill Jr's talent during a live performance of his parents, Bill Moss and the Celestials. The late Bill Moss Sr. got up from the piano to entertain the audience, and noticed a resounding noise coming from the crowd. To his surprise, just barely able to reach the keys, Bill Jr. was standing up playing the piano,. It stunned the audience and reassured both his parents that the generational blessing that was on the Moss family had manifested itself once again. As an early teen, Moss Jr.'s father paired him with his brother J. Moss as a singing duo, called The Moss Brothers, which continued for the next seven years. The Moss Brothers recorded two major label albums and played locally and regionally on weekends, until Bill Jr. left for college with J Moss soon to graduate high school. Bill obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from Marygrove College in Detroit, Michigan. Honing his talents under the tutelage of his aunt, the late Dr. Mattie Moss Clark, he expanded his gifts on the local and national levels. Bill served as National Chief Musician in the Church of God in Christ for five years.
