Last updated: 11 hours ago

The only artist to win American Idol singing his own songs, rising country artist Chayce Beckham scored his first #1 at country radio with the platinum hit single “23.” A California native schooled on tough times and a mix of country, rock, hip hop and beyond, the fiery songwriter with his own creative compass started a habit of heart-on-his-sleeve lyricism after a hard season of life left him feeling empty. Yet, his warm rough rasp and steadfast drive charmed the nation on Idol's 19th season. With more than 536 million global on-demand streams and counting, the bluesy and brutally honest anthem “23” debuted at #1 on both iTunes All Genre and Country singles charts, and led his first album, Bad for Me – available now. The breakout star co-wrote nine of 13 songs (three solo), showcasing Beckham opening his soul like most would never dare and embracing a timeless country-rock sound fueled by fiddles, steel guitar, and plenty of against-the-grain attitude. With dusky shades of heroes like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson, the set aims to reinforce next-big-thing and artist to watch predictions from the Grand Ole Opry, CMT, Amazon Music, MusicRow and more. Joining Warren Zeiders on his 2025 Relapse, Lies & Betrayal Tour this fall, Beckham follows his critically acclaimed debut with the fiddle-driven heartbreaker “Ocean Blue” and romantic ballad “Holdin’ You, Lovin’ You.”
