Ian Munsick (born May 6, 1993) is an American country music singer-songwriter from Sheridan, Wyoming signed to Warner Music Nashville. [2] [1]
Munsick was born and raised on ranches in Wyoming, which remains a major draw of inspiration for his music. [1] He attended high school in Colorado Springs, Colorado and graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee with a degree in Songwriting and Music Business in December 2016. [1] He began performing alongside his two older brothers as The Munsick Boys at the age of 10, played in a cover band in high school, and served as a bassist/background vocalist for others after moving to Nashville, before signing a solo record deal with Warner Music Nashville in 2020. [1] [3] "Long Haul" was issued as Munsick's debut single with the label on April 12, 2021, [4] and served as the lead single to his debut studio album, Coyote Cry, which was released on February 26, 2021. [3] [5]
His second studio album, White Buffalo, was released on April 7, 2023. [6] It includes "Long Live Cowgirls", which was initially recorded as a duet with Cody Johnson and was certified Gold by the RIAA. [7] Due to scheduling conflicts, a solo version removing Johnson's vocal was issued to country radio in October 2023, though Johnson was still credited by Billboard when it charted. [7] [6] A documentary film, White Buffalo: Voices of the West, was released on January 26, 2024, and expands on the Western themes found in Munsick's sophomore album by displaying the relationship between ranchers, cowboys, and the Indigenous people of the area, with Munsick having conversations with members of Crow and Blackfeet Nation. [8] A year later, the album was re-issued as White Buffalo: Introduce You to God with additional bonus tracks on April 5, 2024. [9]
Munsick began dating his manager Caroline Rudolph, and welcomed their first child together, son Crawford, in February 2020. [6] The couple married later that year in Montana, with the wedding footage being used for the music video to Munsick's "Me Against the Mountain". [10]
