Shaboozey is building his own world, carving a lane in the alternative country and hip-hop space. Born to parents of Nigerian descent and raised in the small town of Woodbridge, VA, the multi-faceted artist grew up on an eclectic mix of music encompassing classic hip-hop and R&B, to country and blues icons like Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, Garth Brooks, and Lead Belly, to master lyricists, such as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.
A true crossover artist, he began his epic rise to stardom with two standout features on Beyoncé's COWBOY CARTER. His latest body of work, the critically acclaimed RIAA-Platinum certified masterpiece Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going, debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 and was praised by Rolling Stone for "honoring country tradition and moving it forward." NPR calls him "the future of country music," and the Los Angeles Times crowned him as "the breakout country artist of the year."
The album's breakthrough anthem, the 8X RIAA-Platinum certified "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" holds the record for the longest-leading Hot 100 No. 1 while also topping Billboard's Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay Chart, and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts. The single has accumulated over a billion streams across DSPs and made history, making Shaboozey the first Black male artist to simultaneously top Billboard's Hot Country Songs and Hot 100.
Shaboozey earned five nominations at the 2025 GRAMMY® Awards including Best New Artist and Song of the Year. He won the New Artist of 2024 and New Artist Song of 2024 awards at the People's Choice Country Awards, garnered Best New Artist and Song of the Summer nominations at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, and was nominated for New Artist of the Year and Single of the Year at the 2024 Country Music Association Awards. He was also named a TIME100 NEXT honoree and Billboard Country Power Player.
Honoring his Virginia roots, Shaboozey continues the region's long-standing tradition of prolific creativity by expanding the scope of contemporary hip-hop, introducing modern Americana to a global audience, and bringing a unique sense of artistry to the world. His debut headline Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going tour sold out in every market across North America, Europe, and the UK.
Born in Boston, MA, raised in Raleigh, NC, and currently residing in Nashville, TN, singer-songwriter Kevin Powers draws inspiration from his diverse upbringing to carve a new lane in popular music.
Coined "Southern Pop", Kevin's unique style emerged with breakout singles in 2020 "Walked In" and "How You Been?", amassing 22M and 14.5M streams on Spotify alone. His talents as a writer have thrust him even further into the spotlight, with co-writing credits on Shaboozey and Jelly Roll's 2025 hit "Amen" which has garnered over 50M streams in just 3 months since its release.
Kevin's early success and his ability to work as both an artist and a writer at the highest level have attracted serious attention in the industry. Powers is one of the first to join Shaboozey's joint venture record label American Dogwood, and will be opening for Shaboozey on his Fall 2025 12-stop USA tour "The Great American Road Show."
Angel White is a fifth-generation Texas cowboy, beekeeper, and singer/songwriter who blends folk, country, soul, and rock into a sound that reflects the vast landscapes of his upbringing and the untamed spirit of the West.
White is currently the face of Wrangler's 2026 national brushpopper campaign, with his new single "LONESTAR GIRL" (out February 26, 2026) serving as the campaign's official soundtrack. The Texas-born blues track honors both his family legacy—his great grandfather "Big Daddy" was a blues harmonica player—and the tradition of Texas blues music.
His debut album, GHOST OF THE WEST: THE ALBUM (2025), takes listeners on a journey through soulful melodies and introspective storytelling inspired by his hometown of Cleburne, TX, where his roots run deep with a family lineage of cowboys and a century-old tradition of raising horses.
After years busking in Deep Ellum, Texas, White discovered the power of his voice and began crafting narrative-driven songs. Throughout the album, he pays homage to the often-erased stories of Mexican, Black, and Native cowboys—historical figures unjustly sidelined from both history books and pop culture's depiction of the American West.
White has toured with Marcus King, Shane Smith and the Saints, Flatland Cavalry (including Red Rocks), Whiskey Myers, Midland, and Kaitlin Butts, and has played major festivals including ACL, Stagecoach, Bonnaroo, CMA Fest, and Under The Big Sky.
