The story behind Eric Church’s sunglasses…
Niko Moon talks about his writing process…
Eric Church originally wore sunglasses to protect his eyes onstage.
He explains, “I’m 6’3″, so they would bake my contacts. So I ended up being blind on stage. Someone suggested I wear sunglasses, and they worked perfectly. What’s funny is it stuck. We never thought, ‘This would be good.’ We actually, at the time, thought this is not good… but it ended up being a thing.”
Niko Moon is a new artist, but he’s written songs for Dierks Bentley, Zac Brown Band, Rascal Flatts and many others.
He says, “When I write a song for somebody else, I almost try to become that person. I think about how they sing, and I just really try to get into their headspace. But when I write for myself, I’m just doing me.”
Niko has a hit on his hands right now with his single “Good Time.”
