Career

In the early 2000s, Joey Moi guided Nickelback through their 3X Platinum-certified 2003 release, The Long Road, and continued to collaborate and produce 4 of the bands’ studio albums which saw the group sell more than 30 million copies worldwide. Joey makes a brief cameo appearance in the music video for “Photograph”, where he is one of the subjects depicted in the titular photograph. Lead singer Chad Kroeger mentions him by name in the song, expressing confusion over "what the hell's on Joey's head" in the picture.
In 2010, Joey signed a publishing deal with Big Loud Shirt Publishing and made the move to Nashville and began working with Jake Owen on his single, “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” – a 2X Platinum-certified hit and Owen's first #1 single. He went on to produce Owen’s Platinum-certified Barefoot Blue Jean Night album and his 2013 follow up, Days of Gold. In 2018, the two rekindled their creative partnership on “I Was Jack ”, which became Owen's seventh Billboard Country #1.
Moi formed a partnership in 2011 with Big Loud Shirt founder Craig Wiseman, Kevin “Chief" Zaruk, and Seth England to establish Big Loud Mountain – a one-stop shop for artist development, publishing, management and production.
Big Loud Mountain’s first client was then aspiring Country duo, Florida Georgia Line. With Moi producing the duo’s watershed fusion of Country, Hard Rock, and Hip Hop, they have gone on to change the face of Country music. Moi has produced Florida Georgia Line’s entire discography, including studio albums: Here’s To The Good Times, Anything Goes, Dig Your Roots, and Can’t Say I Ain’t Country. Florida Georgia Line's Moi-produced catalog has exceeded more than 8 Billion digital streams worldwide, selling more than 32 Million tracks and over 4 Million albums.
In 2015, Moi and his Big Loud partners founded Big Loud Records, an independent label headed by former radio executive Clay Hunnicutt which scored immediate success with Chris Lane’s R&B-influenced “Fix” – the company’s first-ever release. Big Loud Shirt, Big Loud Mountain, and Big Loud Records merged under the Big Loud moniker in 2017, and Chris Lane has since posted hits “For Her” and “Take Back Home Girl ”. The Big Loud label family has since grown to include Dallas Smith, HARDY, Jake Owen, MacKenzie Porter, Mason Ramsey, and Morgan Wallen.
Moi has also produced successful projects for artists like Tim McGraw, RaeLynn, Keith Urban, The Chainsmokers, and more, and has earned a respected reputation as a composer, engineer and record mixer, contributing to recent projects by a diverse group of stars including Bebe Rexha, Owl City, and Alabama.
Moi has won multiple awards including the Country Music Association’s Single of the Year for “Cruise”, the Academy of Country Music’s Single of the Year and Vocal Event of the Year, and multiple Canadian Country Music Association honors. He was named the Top Hot Country Songs Producer of 2013 by Billboard and was toasted again as one of Billboard Magazine’s Top Country Producers of 2019. Joey has been named one of Billboard Magazine’s Top Country Producers.
