Nate Smith

Nate Smith has quickly become one of country music’s most recognizable new voices. In just a few years, the singer-songwriter has amassed more than 2 billion career streams, earned three multi-week #1 songs, received multiple gold and platinum certifications, and played sold-out shows across the United States. Called “perhaps country music’s fastest-rising beloved voice,” his recent honors include ACM New Male Artist of the Year, Billboard’s Rookie of the Year and Amazon’s Breakthrough Country Artist for 2024.

A California native and lifelong music lover, Smith learned to play guitar at 13, citing Garth Brooks, Elvis Presley, Bob Seger, Michael Jackson and Nirvana among his diverse musical influences. Now based in Nashville, he broke through with his self-titled debut album, which featured the two-time platinum, multi-week #1 hit “Whiskey on You” and the platinum-certified “World on Fire,” which spent a record-breaking 10 weeks at #1. His platinum-certified single “Bulletproof” appears on his 2024 sophomore album, California Gold, which debuted in the Top 15 on Billboard’s Country Albums chart.

Smith is currently on his Long Live Country Rock & Roll Tour, with dates scheduled across the country.
