Just two years after smashing the doors open to the Country music scene, MULTI-PLATINUM chart-topper Nate Smith has risen to the ranks of the genre’s biggest hitmakers. With over 2.8 BILLION global career streams to date, he’s already earned his fourth consecutive #1 with current single “Fix What You Didn’t Break” (Sony Music Nashville), after becoming the first artist in Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart history to launch their career with three straight multi-week #1 smashes including 3X PLATINUM #1 “Whiskey On You”; PLATINUM, record-setting, 10-week consecutive #1 “World on Fire”; and PLATINUM #1 “Bulletproof.” The Paradise, California-born musician made a knockout debut in 2023 with his GOLD self-titled LP, and next brought his high-octane brand of Country to his sophomore album, California Gold, the following year with genre-defying collaborations featuring Avril Lavigne and Alesso (on the #1 Dance hit “I Like It”). With his TV appearances including TODAY, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Smith's racked up nominations from CMA, CMT, iHeartRadio, and People’s Choice Country Awards, all while being recognized as ACM New Male Artist of the Year 2024, Billboard’s Country Power Players Rookie of the Year 2024, and Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Artist 2024, and winning acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, GRAMMY.com, American Songwriter, Los Angeles Times, and The Tennessean (who praised him as “country music’s fastest-rising beloved voice”). Next on the road as direct support for Jason Aldean’s FULL THROTTLE TOUR 2026, he’s toured with Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell, and Morgan Wallen, and sold-out crowds across the U.S. as an incendiary headliner. Dropping “After Midnight” featuring Tyler Hubbard, after last joining forces with HARDY for “Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend,” he also delivered the deeply poignant “Dads Don’t Die.” Smith is managed by Kevin “Chief” Zaruk and Simon Tikhman with The Core Entertainment.
