NIKO MOON PREMIERES “NO SAD SONGS” MUSIC VIDEO

EARNS FIRST CMT MUSIC AWARDS NOMINATION

TORONTO, ON. – RCA Nashville breakout star Niko Moon has shared the music video for his latest release, “NO SAD SONGS.” The clip, directed by Ben Knechtel, shows Moon and his band performing in a dive bar for patrons, who join in to dance and sing throughout the song. Watch here. The video premiered after Moon and social media influencer Nick Kosir, known online as the “Dancing Weatherman,” hosted an Instagram Live Q&A with fans.

The “NO SAD SONGS” music video arrives as Moon celebrates his first CMT Music Awards nod with a nomination for Breakthrough Video of the Year for “GOOD TIME (Ride Along Video).”

“NO SAD SONGS,” which hit country airwaves last month, has earned widespread critical acclaim, with Billboard commenting: “Niko Moon keeps the party going with this toe-tapper, driven by an insistent rat-a-tat loop, that calls for nothing but a good time.” MusicRow added, “Moon’s jaunty delivery makes you want to party along. This sounds suspiciously like a No. 1 record.” Listen here.

Recently, Moon topped the Country Aircheck/Mediabase Airplay, Billboard Hot Country Songs, and Billboard Country Airplay charts with his Platinum-certified debut single “GOOD TIME.” The achievement made him the first artist to simultaneously top the latter two charts with a debut since Sam Hunt’s “Leave The Night On” in 2014.

ABOUT NIKO MOON: RCA Nashville breakthrough recording artist Niko Moon kicked off 2021 by topping multiple charts with his Platinum-selling debut single “GOOD TIME.” With more than 250 million on-demand streams, “GOOD TIME” helped catapult Moon to No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart and has been lauded as “a bottle-passin’ campfire daydream” (Tennessean), solidifying the genre-defying entertainer’s reputation as “One of the most genuine and creative artists in country music right now” (THINK Country Music  ). Born in Tyler, TX, Moon relocated to Douglasville, GA at age 10, equidistance from hip-hop hub Atlanta and country breeding ground Newnan, GA, inspiring his artful persona: a mix of hooky melodies, shrewd wordplay and edgy, electronic beats. With five songwriting No. 1 hits (Zac Brown Band’s “Loving You Easy,” “Homegrown,” “Beautiful Drug,” “Keep Me In Mind,” and “Heavy Is The Head”) plus co-pen credits on singles by Dierks Bentley and Ashley Monroe, among others, Moon continues to turn heads and has been named an artist to watch by CMT, Amazon Music, MusicRow, NY Country Swag  , and more. He is currently self-producing his debut full-length project alongside longtime collaborator and friend Joshua Murty.
