Chart-topping country artist NIKO MOON has been having a very good time since breaking out as a solo act in 2019, after being a member for a couple years of Sir Rosevelt alongside fellow artists Zac Brown and Ben Simonetti. His first single “Good Time” went #1 on country radio and his other hits continue to climb the charts as he releases more and more music, bringing a feel-good positive vibes message to all that listen. Originally from Tyler, Texas, Moon relocated to Douglasville, Georgia when he was 10. His father, a truck driver and his mother, a waitress, introduced Niko to the works of artists like John Prine and Patty Griffin.
Beyond singing, Moon has written eight #1 songs and over 40 major record label cuts for artists such as Morgan Wallen, Avicii, Dierks Bentley, Pitbull, Zac Brown Band, Rascal Flatts and more. He also co-produced the Zac Brown Band albums, Jekyll+Hyde and Welcome Home, and was recently named a SESAC country songwriter of the year.
When not touring, Moon resides in Nashville, TN and is married to singer-songwriter Anna Moon, with whom they share a daughter, Lily Ann Moon. He is also the founder of the “Happy Cowboy Foundation”, a 501c3 nonprofit that helps raise awareness and funds for those in need of help to battle various addictions.
