With over 800 million on-demand career streams, Kent was named a CMT Listen Up Artist for 2023, a Pandora Artist to Watch, a member of The Opry Next Stage Class of 2023, and part of the Sirius XM Class of 2022. He was also nominated for an AIMP Nashville Country Award for AIMP Rising Artist-Writer of the Year. He released his major label debut album, BLACKTOP, in June 2023. The project features Kent’s #1 certified platinum single “Wild As Her,” which has amassed nearly 475 million on-demand streams and helped garner a nomination for Breakthrough Male Video of the Year at the 2023 CMT Awards, as well as a People’s Country Choice Award nomination for New Artist of 2023. The follow-up single, “Something’s Gonna Kill Me,” is currently climbing the radio charts and has nearly 100 million on-demand streams, while the recent single “This Heart” is proving to be another fan favorite. Kent is set to release his sophomore album, Black Bandana, featuring the hit single "This Heart," and is launching his first international headline tour in support of the album. The last 12 months have been non-stop for Kent—the adventure-seeking road veteran wrapped up Jason Aldean’s 42-city “Highway Desperado” tour, playing in front of 15,000+ people each night. To close out 2023, he headlined a slew of shows of his own. Kent then started 2024 in the UK with Ashley McBryde and is currently on the road with friend Parker McCollum for 39 dates in the States. His international “Black Bandana Tour” will start in September on the West Coast, make its way through the U.S., and end in the UK in February 2025. Corey Kent finds himself musically at the intersection of rock-infused country, heartland values, and red dirt grit. Still in his 20s, he built the foundation of a fan base, has been developing his show for 15 years, and is now positioned as one of country music’s next breakout artists nationwide. Drawing inspiration from The Eagles, Keith Richards, Turnpike Troubadours, and more, Kent strives to build an undeniable stage presence, and his bandana-wearing Rock ‘N’ Roll spirit comes to life on the stage.
