Singer-songwriter Niko Moon may not be up for any ACM Awards this Sunday, but he still has something to celebrate as a country music star.

Niko has written songs for other country music stars including the Zac Brown Band, Rascal Flatts and Dierks Bentley. However, he reflects on the recent number one single he scored not just writing “Good Time”, but also singing it himself.

“So, I always just wanted to be a part of music anyway that I could- songwriter, musician, artist. What was important to me was that I was doing music in some way somehow. And the songwriting door opened up for me first. So I ran through that as fast as I could. And it’s been a lot of fun getting the right songs for a lot of my favorite artists out there like Zac Brown Band, Rascal Flats, Dierks Bentley. But I always knew in my heart that I was an artist, too. It was just a matter of finding the right time. And now is the right time. I’m coming out with my own music. And good time just went number one. It’s my very first song I went to radio with, and it went number one. And it’s so special because it’s me, it’s my voice and it’s my whole style of country music that I like to do. So the fact that so many people out there have embraced it, and all the country music fans have really grabbed a hold of it just is the best feel in the world. It makes me feel so validated as an artist. So thank you everybody out there for all the love. I love you all back.”

I’m sure this is just the start of chart topping success for you Niko. I’m also pretty certain some awards are in your future for your music as well.

Listen for the debut number one single “Good Time” by Niko Moon on Bloomington-Normal’s #1 Country, B104.
