Growing up with music as a strong influence throughout his life, JT has been performing since he was about eight years old. He took guitar lessons early in life but found it to be quite the challenge so he switched over to drums and excelled at it. Family functions were looked forward to, as he was able to jam with his Grandpa who played the harmonica, spoons and knives. His dad played the electric guitar, his uncle played the accordion and his cousin played the piano and the trumpet. Although he still plays drums, JT returned to playing the guitar as he started serious songwriting.
With a passion for poetry, JT enrolled in writing classes to learn how to put his words with music and has been song writing ever since.
JT is now a member of the Nashville Songwriter Association International (NSAI).
One of the songs JT wrote (A Dollar Short And A Dream Too Late) was produced in Nashville by Jim Allison, who has produced award winning songs for the likes of LeAnne Rimes, Del Reeves, Billy Ray Cyrus, Reba McIntyre and many others.
The multi talented John Thiel of Calgary, Alberta (Lead guitar/backup vocalist for Huron Carol, Say Hay and several high profile artist’s such as Ian Tyson , Chris Cummings & Gil Grand) produced several other songs written by JT in Calgary, Alberta. These songs include “This Is Your Day”, “Will You Stay Young”, “Thanks Mom For Being My Dad”, "Time For Something New", "Daddy’s Little Girl” and ”I Am Canadian”.

JT is now a current a member of the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) and the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI).
Through mistakes he's made, lesson's learned, true friends he's made, the country song that is his life, the struggles he's endured and always bouncing back from having to do things "the hard way" all his life. He's found a way of staying positive in his pursuit of the dream he is sure to attain.
His statement: "I will always stay true to myself, my family, friends and fans. I do not write about anything I haven't lived or truly believe in". "I think my fans want and respect honesty and so, when I write and sing about my life, I will hold no punches and tell you how I really feel".
With the support of fellow CCMA award winning recording artists and songwriters J.R. Vautour, Thomas Wade, 2007 CCMA Group of the Year The Road Hammers, 2007 CCMA Rising Star Award nominated group JO HIKK, his band CowTown and help from producer John Thiel, it’s only a matter of time before everyone knows or wants to know who JT Moore is.
