Kip Christian Moore (born April 2, 1980) is an American country music singer-songwriter signed to MCA Nashville. His debut album, Up All Night, was released on April 24, 2012.[4] and was the best-selling debut album by a male in 2012 and 2013.[5] In 2014, Moore released the single "Young Love", followed by "Dirt Road" and "I'm to Blame".[6] Wild Ones, Moore's second studio album, was released on August 21, 2015.[7]

Biography

Kip Moore was born in Tifton, Georgia. He began playing guitar while attending Wallace State Community College in Hanceville, Alabama, and made his first public performance at a Mellow Mushroom restaurant in Valdosta, Georgia. After college, he moved to a "little hut" in Hawaii, where he also took up backpacking and surfing.[8] He moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2004, where songwriter and producer Brett James helped him sign a publishing deal.[8]

Musical career

He spent eight years in Nashville before signing a record deal with MCA Nashville.[9] His debut single, "Mary Was the Marrying Kind",[10] peaked at number 45 on the country singles charts published by Billboard.

On September 27, 2011, he released his second single, "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck". The song was followed by the release of his debut album Up All Night in April 2012. Moore co-wrote every song on the album, and Brett James produced it. A month later, "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck" hit number 1 on the Billboard country charts. "Beer Money" was the album's second single, followed by "Hey Pretty Girl". These songs also reached the country Top 5.

Moore co-wrote two tracks on Thompson Square's self-titled debut album which was released in February 2011: "All the Way" and "Let's Fight", the latter of which was their debut single. He also co-wrote James Wesley's 2012 single "Walking Contradiction".[11]

Second album

In October 2013, Moore announced his fifth single, "Young Love".[12] It charted at number 22 on the Country Airplay in March 2014. After it underperformed, it was followed by "Dirt Road", which failed to make Top 40.[13][14] Moore then decided to "scrap" his second album and compose new material.[15] Moore then released "I'm to Blame", the leadoff to his 2015 album Wild Ones.[15]
