Early life

Doleac grew up in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. His father and grandfather ran an electrical business. A natural athlete, Doleac passed up the family business to pursue sports.

Doleac grew up listening to artists like Amos Lee, Dave Matthews Band, and John Mayer. [4] His first country concert was Toby Keith. [5]

Career

Early in Doleac's career, the song "Whiskey's Fine", from his independent EP, caught the attention of SiriusXM's "The Highway Channel". [6] The song would eventually reach number three on the Sirius XM "The Highway's" Hot Country Countdown. Doleac also started having success as a co-writer with other artists including Darius Rucker with whom he wrote the song "Don't". Doleac was then named to numerous rising star lists, including "Pandora Radio's 2018 Artists to Watch" and Rolling Stone Country's "New Country Artist You Need to Know". [2]

In October 2019, Sony Music Nashville signed Doleac to the Arista Nashville imprint. [7] The single "Famous" spent two weeks at No. 1 on Sirius XM "The Highway's" Hot Country Countdown, and was supported with a music video featuring former Bachelor couple Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph. [8] Doleac also released new pop-driven EP called Famous: The Remixes, just as the original version of "Famous" crossed 2 million streams on Spotify. [9]

Doleac celebrated the support he has received from his parents with the track "Mom and Daddy’s Money" released in 2018. [10] In January 2019, Doleac supported country artist Ryan Hurd on tour with Niko Moon, followed by more touring with Mitchell Tenpenny and Scotty McCreery. [11]
