Singer/songwriter Niko Moon has one foot in the country, and one in the city. He can write as traditional a country hit as anyone (Zac Brown Band's "Homegrown", for example), and he'll show off his Atlanta hip-hop influences on his solo hits, like "Good Time". And while traditionalists may cluck at his more progressive tendencies, Niko himself makes a good case as to why it may not be so much about tradition anymore as it is authenticity, and being true to one's self. A smart, insightful conversation with a smart, insightful artist (who also happens to have a million-watt smile)
