Kip Moore is an American country and heartland-rock singer-songwriter from Tifton, Georgia, whose gritty songwriting, blue-collar storytelling, and dedicated fanbase have made him one of country music's most distinctive modern voices. Born April 1, 1980, he played college baseball before moving to Nashville in the mid-2000s to pursue music, eventually signing with MCA Nashville in 2010 after years of writing and grinding in the city's songwriter scene.

His major-label debut album Up All Night (2012) was certified platinum and reached the top 10 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. Its lead single "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck," topped the Country Airplay chart and was certified double platinum, with follow-up singles "Beer Money" and the chart-topping "Hey Pretty Girl" further cementing him as one of country music's most promising new voices.
