Justin Moore works hard when it comes to his career and he says, “I think, honestly, playing sports as much as I did, really helped me a lot with work ethic and how to work well with others, you know, a team and that kind of stuff.”
He also believes surrounding himself with the right people has had a tremendous impact on his career. “It’s such a team effort to get to this point in your career,” says Justin, “and it takes an army!”
Justin says when it came to pursuing his dream of making his living as an artist, he had to do whatever it took when he first moved to Nashville. He says, “Working the crappy jobs up here to pay your bills, it’s tough. You’ve got to swallow your pride and do whatever it takes to get to the point you want to get at. I’ve done everything from sell meat out of the back of my pickup to carrying furniture to this place and that place. So, that helped me a lot with that too.”
Fortunately, all of that hard work has paid off for Justin and he has built a successful career that is far from over. His latest single, “You Look Like I Need a Drink” is the first release off of a new album he plans to release later this year.”

Justin Moore – work ethic :42
“I think, honestly, playing sports as much as I did, really helped me a lot with work ethic and how to work well with others, you know, a team and that kind of stuff. And then fast-forward moving to Nashville, it’s such a team effort to get to this point in your career. And it takes an army! The sports helped me a lot, and then working the crappy jobs up here to pay your bills, it’s tough. You’ve got to swallow your pride and do whatever it takes to get to the point you want to get at. I’ve done everything from sell meat out of the back of my pickup to carrying furniture to this place and that place. So, that helped me a lot with that too.”
