A Nashville songwriter who mixes conversational lyrics with pop-leaning beats.
For how he frames things, try 'Come Over' or 'Make You Miss Me.' They're good examples of that talk-sing delivery over a beat that isn't straight country.
When 'Montevallo' came out in 2014, songs like 'Leave The Night On' and 'Make You Miss Me' didn't sound like typical country radio. He brought R&B and pop rhythms into country storytelling, with tracks like 'Come Over' and '23' using beats that felt more urban than twangy. That blend gave his music a different texture at a time when Nashville was pretty set in its ways.
He grew up in Cedartown, Georgia, moved to Nashville after college, and wrote songs before releasing 'Montevallo' in 2014. The follow-up 'Southside' arrived in 2017 with tracks like 'Downtown's Dead' and 'Saturday Night.' He records and performs as a solo act with session players, not as a band.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
