Artist Information
With a style rooted in the charm of his Central-Florida home, Sony Music Entertainment’s McCoy Moore makes country music so radiant and relaxed it should come with SPF 50. Through beaming baritone vocals and a warm sonic glow, the singer-songwriter embodies the land of perpetual summer, complete with its easy-does-it code of humble sincerity. On his debut album, Sunshine State, the Lakeland native shows Florida is much more than a vacation destination – it’s the place that made him the artist he is. A lifelong country fan schooled on late ‘90s and early 2000s radio, Kenny Chesney (his first concert), Tim McGraw, and Keith Whitley were the soundtrack to travel baseball and day trips to the beach, before a chance encounter with Luke Combs in 2017 helped propel Moore to Nashville at 19 years old. Wrapping nostalgic real-life stories in a rich, resonate country baritone, he began releasing music in 2025 with tracks like “Something to You,” and has now accumulated more than 17 million global streams while touring with HARDY, Kip Moore, and Chase Rice. But his heart remains in the Sunshine State. Co-writing all but one of 14 songs produced by hit maker Will Bundy (Riley Green, Ella Langley, Thomas Rhett), modern muscle and a throwback country spirit tap the nostalgic heat of long gone summers, while Moore’s vocal carries the buzz of an incoming thunderhead. Heavy bass lines and steel guitars hang thick like Spanish Moss off an old Live Oak (much like the one on the album’s cover, which was shot in his grandparents’ garage), with soaring emotions and bright melodies begging to be cranked up loud. Over and over, vivid memories transform into singalong revelations of Moore’s Sunshine State. It’s just where he comes from.
