Justin Moore’s latest single, “Somebody Else Will,” just broke into the top 20 and is continuing to climb the charts, and Justin says it wasn’t until other people started taking notice of his voice when he was a teenager that he realized he had any kind of special talent.  “I knew that I could sing like the people I was listenin’ to on the radio. I didn’t know that was different than anybody else I was growing up with in my town or my family. I just thought, oh that’s normal, everybody can do it, until I was doing it in front of people, 15, 16 or whatever in church, or you know, just sitting in a car or whatever, and people were kind of like, ‘Dude, how’d you do that?’  And I’m going, ‘How’d I do what?’ ‘Sing, like awesome.’  And I’m like, ‘You can’t do that?’”

Once people started taking note of his voice, Justin says, “Church members and stuff were forcing my parents to force me to sing all the leads in the Christmas plays and stuff like that. But in a town of 300 people there’s a limited selection of folks who can sing on key. So I got selected for all of those parts.”

Justin jokes by the time he left Poyen, Arkansas for Nashville, people in his hometown were tired of hearing him sing.

Justin Moore – when realized talent  :50

“I knew that I could sing like the people I was listenin’ to on the radio. I didn’t know that was different than anybody else I was growing up with in my town or my family. I just thought, oh that’s normal, everybody can do it, until I was doing it in front of people, 15, 16 or whatever in church, or you know, just sitting in a car or whatever, and people were kind of like, ‘Dude, how’d you do that?’  And I’m going, ‘How’d I do what?’ ‘Sing, like awesome.’  And I’m like, ‘You can’t do that?’  And so probably sometime in my teens and then I started getting a little bit of attention from church members and stuff who were forcing my parents to force me to sing all the leads in the Christmas plays and stuff like that. But in a town of 300 people there’s a limited selection of folks who can sing on key. So I got selected for all of those parts. So people are tired of hearing me sing by the time I moved here.”
