On Board With: Niko Moon

After a long time working as a songwriter in the country music genre, Niko Moon broke out as a solo artist in 2019. Since then he has grown his fan base and had chart-topping hits, including his recent single “These Are The Days,” a song about lake life that features a Sea-Doo Switch in the video. We caught up with Niko to see how he’s been enjoying the lake life as a bona fide country music star.

Did you grow up on the water?

I grew up about 30 min from the lake and every chance I could get, I’d be out on the lake.

How did you get involved in country music?

I was born into a musical family so music has been in my life since day one. I’ve been singing and playing country music for as long as I can remember.

You started out as a songwriter for a lot of other famous country acts such as Zac Brown and Rascal Flatts. How was it switching gears and putting out your songs as a performing artist?

It’s been amazing! I love collaborating with other amazing artists but there’s nothing like doing your own thing.

Your recent album “Better Days” hit No. 1 on the charts. What’s your current tour been like?

I’m all over the country playing shows and couldn’t be happier! Every show is a lakeside vacation.

How did your love of the water inspire your new song “These Are The Days?”

This song is all about getting lakeside — life’s too short not to, right?

You even feature a Sea-Doo Switch in the video. Did you get to spend much time on it during the shoot?

I love the boat. It’s such a cool feeling steering a boat, but it feels as intuitive and easy as navigating a PWC.

When you’re not touring or recording, do you get to spend much time on the water?

All the time!

What’s an ideal day on the boat with your family?

Rolling slow on a pontoon with my fam and dog: heaven on earth.
