Early life

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] It was on TikTok where he first released short videos of him performing self-written songs such as his future singles "Coal" and "To Be Free". [1]

Career

Gossett released his first single, "To Be Free", on June 20, 2023. [4] Although "To Be Free" wasn't as successful as his next single, the song introduced comparisons between the styles of Gossett and Zach Bryan. [5] [6] 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] "Coal" was written by Gossett in 2021 to help him overcome personal struggles; during an interview with Holler Country, Gossett said he "started it with the main line, ‘If pressure makes diamonds / How the hell am I still coal?’ And then the rest of the song came in 20-25 minutes." [6] "Coal" was released independently on July 27, 2023. [4] The song was Gossett's breakthrough onto the Billboard Hot 100; [7] the US Country chart; and the British, Canadian, and Irish single charts. [4] [8] In an end-of-the-year article covering 2023 in country music, Jon Caramanica of the New York Times dubbed the single "one of the year’s best country songs," while praising Gossett's "ruggedly plaintive voice" and "emotionally detailed" writing. [9]

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. [10] [11] [12]

On October 22, 2023, he performed the U.S. national anthem atop the Circuit of the Americas Observation Tower on race day. [13]

On October 27, 2023, Gossett released his debut EP, No Better Time, independently (though it was later released through Big Loud Texas). It includes the title track, "No Better Time", all three previously released singles, and the songs "Flip a Coin" and "Lone Ole Cowboy". [14] [15] Gossett chose "No Better Time" as the title track because, after a discussion with his wife and friends, he realized "there's literally no better time than now to try this music thing." [6] He described "Lone Ole Cowboy" as being inspired by "Big Iron" by Marty Robbins and the music of Canadian singer Colter Wall. [6]

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. [16] Gossett later opened for Noah Kahan during Kahan's Australian leg of the "Stick Season" tour. [17]

On February 2, 2024, Gossett released his first single of the year, "Bitter Winds", [18] which was described by Holler Country as "Gossett’s best offering thus far." [5] The same day, it was announced Gossett would be performing at the 2024 Black Deer Festival at Eridge Park in East Sussex, U.K. [19] On February 16, "Coal" was certified gold by the RIAA. [20]

On February 23, Gossett announced a new song, "Somewhere Between", only a few weeks after the release of "Bitter Winds". [21] 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". [17] It was released on March 1. [4] Also on March 1, Gossett announced his next EP, Songs In The Gravel, [17] and a global publishing deal with Universal Music Group Nashville. [22]

In early March 2024, Gossett announced a continuation of his American "No Better Time" tour, the European "Somewhere Between" tour, which began in Summer 2024. [23] [24]

On March 22, 2024, Gossett released his second EP, Songs in the Gravel, to digital download and streaming. It includes his two recently-released singles as well as "If I Had a Lover" and "Finally Stop Dreaming". [25]

On April 9, 2024, Gossett made his Exit/In debut in Nashville, Tennessee, where he played the unreleased songs "Back 40" and "Baptized by Rain". [26]

On July 17, 2024, Gossett released "Stronger Than A Storm" as a single from the soundtrack album, Twisters: The Album . [27]

Gossett released his seventh single, "Tree Birds", on October 11, 2024. [28]
