Kip Moore was born in Tifton, Georgia. He began playing guitar while attending Wallace State Community Collage in Hanceville, AL, and made his first public performance at a Mellow Mushroom restaurant in Valdosta, Georgia. After college, he moved to a "little hut" in Hawaii, where he also took up backpacking and surfing.[3]
He moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2004, where songwriter and producer Brett James helped him sign a publishing deal.[3] He spent four years in Nashville before signing to a record deal with MCA Nashville.[4] Moore released his debut single "Mary Was the Marrying Kind" in early 2011. (Karlie Justus of The 9513 gave the song a "thumbs up", praising the lyrics but criticizing the "heavy-handed production".[5] It entered the Hot Country Songs charts at number 58 on the chart dated for the week ending April 2, 2011, peaking at number 45.[6]
Moore also co-wrote two tracks, "All the Way" and "Let's Fight", from Thompson Square's self-titled debut album, which was released in February 2011. "Let's Fight" was released as Thompson Square's debut single in 2010, and briefly charted on Billboard Hot Country Songs, reaching number 58. He also co-wrote James Wesley's single "Walking Contradiction".
On September 27, he released his second single, "Somethin' 'bout a Truck". The song was included on his debut album Up All Night, which MCA released in April 2012. A month later, "Somethin' 'bout a Truck" reached number 1 on the country charts.
