RCA Nashville breakout rising star Niko Moon has released a new version of his Top 10 debut single “GOOD TIME” featuring Grammy Award-winning reggae icon, Shaggy.
“We worked on this song entirely remotely, which made it a lot of fun. I love Shaggy’s music and his whole vibe,” said Moon. “I found we are both perfectionists when it comes to our work, and we really dialed in to every detail. This is my first collaboration and I had a blast. I loved getting two creative minds together. We’re in completely different genres but both love having a GOOD TIME!”
This new version comes on the heels of Moon’s recent GOOD TIME Campfire Sessions EP that was recorded live in an outdoor setting. “GOOD TIME” has amassed more than 157 million on-demand streams and has achieved RIAA Gold certification, earning Moon a spot in the RIAA Class of 2020. Taste of Country lauds Moon as “a smooth vocalist with genuine enthusiasm for this boozy chill,” while Country Insider echoes “During a year of much uncertainty, ‘GOOD TIME’ offers radio listeners a feel-good escape.”
Meanwhile Moon continues to build on his reputation as an in-demand songwriter with co-pen credits on Dierks Bentley’s new single “Gone” and “More Surprised Than Me” from Morgan Wallen’s hit album Dangerous.
RCA Nashville recording artist and Texas native Niko Moon relocated to Douglasville, GA at age 10, equidistance from hip-hop hub Atlanta and country breeding ground Newnan, GA, inspiring Moon’s artful persona: a mix of hooky melodies, shrewd wordplay and edgy, electronic beats. The genre-defying singer/songwriter has written five No. 1 hits: Zac Brown Band’s “Loving You Easy,” “Homegrown,” “Beautiful Drug,” “Keep Me In Mind,” and “Heavy Is The Head.”
Named an artist to watch by CMT, Amazon Music, MusicRow, NY Country Swag, and more, Moon’s “decidedly ear catching” (MusicRow) solo debut “GOOD TIME” has reached the Top 10 at country radio and amassed more than 157 million on-demand streams, earning him a reputation as “One of the most genuine and creative artists in country music right now” (THINK Country Music). Moon is currently self-producing his debut full-length project alongside longtime collaborator and friend Joshua Murty.
