Early life

Myers was born and raised just outside of Austin, Texas, growing up on his family’s cattle ranch, which has been in his family for over six generations. [3] [4] His father, a local singer-songwriter, introduced him to music, and Myers began playing guitar around age seven and writing songs by age eight. [5] [6]

Myers is the nephew of Dean Sams of Lonestar and related to George Strait's longtime piano player and Ace in the Hole Band member Ronnie Huckaby. [7]

Myers went viral on TikTok for sharing his music and the song "The Tie that Binds." [8] Myers's mother, Karysa Myers, created his TikTok profile after he suffered a football injury in high school. [9] Myers later signed with the record label, Starstruck. [10]

Artistry

Myers fuses classic country storytelling with bluesy riffs and soulful vocals. He cites a diverse array of influences: country luminaries like George Strait; soul and R&B figures like Otis Redding; blues artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan; and contemporary inspiration from John Mayer. [4] [5]
