Greylan James:

From the moment his Papaw gifted him his first guitar at the age of 5, one of Nashville’s most exciting young breakout country stars Greylan James knew he was meant to be a musician. The Knoxville-raised artist-on-the-rise has been manifesting his vision of country music stardom since his earliest days: from those cleats and cowboy hats he wore to school to playing every sort of live show imaginable from tailgates to patios and dive bars to funerals around his hometown. Since moving to Music City eight years ago, Greylan has become a “celebrated songwriter” (Country Now) earning cuts from some of country music’s most notable artists including Kenny Chesney, Chris Young, Cole Swindell, Darius Rucker, Chris Janson, Bailey Zimmerman, BRELAND and more. The singer-songwriter recently earned his first No. 1 and ACM Award for Song of the Year, co-writing Jordan Davis’ smash hit “Next Thing You Know.” The song also earned Greylan a BMI Award and his first CMA Award nomination for Song of the Year. To date, Greylan’s songbook has amassed nearly 900M streams. And while Greylan has undoubtedly been incredibly successful penning hits for others in the writer’s room, he’s ready to strike out on his own. His growing catalog of songs highlight why SiriusXM dubbed him “a superstar just beginning to hit his stride” with his “impeccable songwriting and artistry,” including his debut single “Wait Til You Have Kids,” impacting Country radio now. Greylan has toured with artists like Old Dominion, Cole Swindell and Scotty McCreery and recently wrapped a run as direct support on Ashley Cooke’s your place Tour.
