Early life

[edit]

Gossett was born in Austin, Texas in 1999;[2] his mother worked as a teacher while his father coached basketball.[2] Gossett first began taking music lessons in middle school after he discovered Ed Sheeran's music, but he later stopped lessons and instead learned from YouTube and his brother.[2] Gossett noted artists such as Sheeran, Turnpike Troubadours, Flatland Cavalry, Cody Johnson,[2] Shane Smith and The Saints, and Mumford & Sons as notable inspirations for his music.[3] Gossett initially only intended to write and perform music for family gatherings around the holiday season,[1] when he would share ideas with family members and create music together.

Gossett studied at Texas A&M University and graduated in 2021, when he began work as an intern of event operations and logistics for F1 at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.[1] About two years after Gossett was hired full-time at the racetrack, he began releasing covers of popular songs — such as "Ophelia" by The Lumineers and "A Life Where We Work Out" by Flatland Cavalry — on short-form social media platform TikTok.[1]

Career

[edit]

Gossett released his first single, "To Be Free", on June 20, 2023.[4] He released videos of him performing this song and his next release, "Coal", on TikTok, where he first gained popularity. Gossett had not recorded the full version of "Coal" when he first teased it on social media, so after its success on TikTok, he recorded it on a small microphone and his laptop in his bedroom.[1] The song was written by Gossett in 2021 to help him overcome personal struggles and was released independently on July 27, 2023.[4] "Coal" was Gossett's breakthrough onto the Billboard Hot 100;[5] the US Country chart; and the British, Canadian, and Irish single charts.[4][6]

Following the success of "Coal", Gossett left his job working at the Circuit of the Americas. On October 6, 2023, Gossett released his third single, "Beneath Oak Trees".[4] Gossett said the song is about the Inspiring Oak Ranch in Wimberley, Texas, where he was married in February 2023, and living every day "as if we're still under the oak trees on our wedding day."[2] Gossett supported Wyatt Flores during his tour in Fall 2023.[7][8][9]

On October 22, 2023 he performed the U.S. national anthem atop the Circuit of the Americas Observation Tower on race day.[10]

On October 27, 2023, Gossett released his debut EP, No Better Time, through his label Big Loud Texas (though it was first released independently). It includes the title track, "No Better Time", all three previously released singles, and the songs "Flip a Coin" and "Lone Ole Cowboy".[11][12]

Gossett signed with Big Loud Texas/Mercury Records in November 2023.[1] On December 4, 2023, Gossett and his label announced his No Better Time tour to begin in February 2024. [13] Gossett later opened for Noah Kahan during Kahan's Australian leg of the Stick Season tour.[14]

On February 2, 2024, Gossett released his first single of the year, "Bitter Winds".[15] On February 16, "Coal" was certified gold by the RIAA.[16] On February 23, Gossett announced a new song, "Somewhere Between", only a few weeks after the release of "Bitter Winds".[17] Gossett described "Somewhere Between" as a song about "a guy who lives on a train ... a high-energy narrative about a wandering man, running away from his past".[14] It was released on March 1.[4] Also on March 1, Gossett announced his next EP, Songs In The Gravel.[14]
