Breakout country star Chris Janson is a platinum-selling recording artist, high-octane entertainer, multi-instrumentalist, and award-winning singer/songwriter. Since the release of his debut album “Buy Me a Boat” in 2015, the three-time CMA nominee has collected prestigious accolades that place him among country music’s greats.

The Missouri native took home the trophy for the 2019 ACM Video of the Year for his Gold-certified hit song “Drunk Girl,” which also earned the Song of the Year title at the 2018 MusicRow Awards and was named one of the “Ten Songs I Wish I’d Written” by Nashville Songwriters Association International.

His chart-topping, double-Platinum hit single “Buy Me A Boat” earned the same NSAI honor, making him one in a handful of the industry’s most elite artists to earn the title multiple times, as well as the iHeartRadio Music Awards Country Song of the Year.

In 2018 Janson was inducted as a member into the Grand Ole Opry.

Janson’s certified gold hit “Good Vibes,” became his third No. 1 and his song “Done,” both singles from his 2019 album “Real Friends,” became his fourth No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay. He co-wrote and co-produced all 13 tracks on “Real Friends” and collaborated with Blake Shelton on the title track “Say About Me.”

Janson has also written and co-written for a number of industry peers, including Tim McGraw (“Truck Yeah,” “How I’ll Always Be”), LOCASH (“I Love This Life”) and the legendary Hank Williams Jr. (“God Fearin’ Man,” “Those Days Are Gone”).

“God’s gotta be a good ol’ boy

God’s gotta be a good ol’ boy

He put the bucks in the woods

Put the bass in the water

Put the redneck in the ol’ blue collar” — lyrics by Chris Janson, from his song “God’s Gotta Be a Good Ol’ Boy” on his album “Real Friends”
