Moore is also a radio personality on the statewide talk radio show Morning Mayhem on 103.7 The Buzz, a sports station in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Music career

Moore began performing during his junior year of high school.[3] After graduating, he joined his uncle's Southern rock band and moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2002.[3] He met a young producer in Nashville, Jeremy Stover, who introduced him to Scott Borchetta, an industry executive who was planning to launch The Valory Music Co. Borchetta promised to give him a record deal if he would be patient.[3]

2008–2010: Justin Moore

In mid-2008, Moore signed to the Valory Music Group, an imprint of the independent record label Big Machine Records. The label then released the digital single "I Could Kick Your Ass". His first radio single, "Back That Thing Up", was co-written by Randy Houser and Moore's producer, Jeremy Stover.[4] It reached number 38 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. He continued working on his debut album, which was part of a special promotion called "So You Want to Be a Record Label Executive". This promotion placed his music on social networking sites such as MySpace and iLike, where fans were allowed to create playlists comprising ten of his songs; the top 10 songs picked were then included on the final album.[5] His next single, "Small Town USA". entered the charts in February 2009,[6] followed by a digital EP titled The "You Asked for It" EP.

On August 11, the label released his self-titled debut album, on which he co-wrote nine of the ten tracks.[7] This album debuted at number 3 on the Top Country Albums chart.[8] He promoted the single and album on a "Small Town USA" tour which began in his hometown of Poyen, Arkansas, and included several stops in small towns, as well as acoustic shows at Walmart stores.[7] On the Hot Country Songs charts dated October 3, 2009, "Small Town USA" became his first number 1 single. "Backwoods" was released as the album's third single in October 2009. It became his second top 10 hit with a peak of number 6 in April 2010. The album's fourth single, "How I Got to Be This Way". reached the top 20.

2011–2014: Outlaws Like Me and Off the Beaten Path

In February 2011, he released the song "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away", which was originally recorded by Rhett Akins on his 2007 album People Like Me but did not chart. Justin Moore's rendition debuted at 46 on the Hot Country songs chart. In June 2011, the song became his third Top 10 hit on that chart and three weeks later, it became his second Number One. The song serves as the lead-off single to his 2011 album Outlaws Like Me, which was released on June 21, 2011. Follow-up singles "Bait a Hook" and "Til My Last Day" both broke the Top 20; the latter reached Number One on the Country Airplay chart.

In December 2012, Moore announced plans to embark on a headlining tour in 2013, at the time tentatively planned to begin in March.[9] Later in the month, he entered the studio to begin recording his third studio album.[10] The album's first single, "Point at You", was released on March 18, 2013.[11] It peaked at number 2 on the Country Airplay chart in October 2013.

Just like Moore himself, Rhett and Gilbert are also signed to Valory. Later, he recorded a cover of Mötley Crüe's "Home Sweet Home" as a duet with the band's lead singer Vince Neil.

Musical styles

Steve Leggett of AllMusic describes him as having "a ready-made image. He was that good kid from a small town with a rowdy heart of gold who just happened to be able to sing about it."[6] He has said that he learned to write songs because, when he had first moved to Nashville, no songwriters wanted to offer him material.[7] His first album received mixed reviews from music critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic referred to it as "anonymous country rock",[6] and Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time referred to Moore as a "poseur" for name-dropping.[32] Engine 145's Karlie Justus said that his influences were comparatively more authentic than most other acts on country radio,[33] and Matt Bjorke of Roughstock said that his music has "a heavy dose of southern, country charm and twang".[34]

Personal life

Justin Moore married his wife Kate of Houma, Louisiana, in 2007. They have three daughters and a son together.[35] He is an avid supporter of the Arkansas Razorbacks.[36]

Moore is a supporter of the Republican Party. In 2016, he endorsed Donald Trump in the presidential election, praising him as an "out of the box" candidate.[37]
