Horn began his professional career as a backing musician in the late 70's for disco star Tina Charles. One of the other members of her backing band was keyboard player Geoff Downes. Horn and Downes joined with Bruce Woolley to form the Buggles in 1977, in which Horn played bass, guitar and percussion as well as providing vocals. They released "Video Killed the Radio Star" in 1979, which went to No 1 in the UK charts. The song also appeared on the group's first album, The Age of Plastic, which was released in 1980. Later in the same year Horn and Downes were invited to join the rock group Yes. Horn became the lead vocalist, replacing Jon Anderson.
