Shaboozey

GRAMMY®- winning and 8X GRAMMY®- nominated singer-songwriter Shaboozey is building his own
world, carving his lane in the alternative country and hip-hop space. Raised in Virginia by parents of
Nigerian descent, the multi-faceted artist grew up on an eclectic mix of music encompassing classic hip-
hop, R&B, country, and blues.

‍
A true crossover artist, he began his epic rise to stardom with standout features on Beyoncé’s COWBOY
CARTER. His latest critically acclaimed album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, debuted in the top
five of the Billboard 200 and was praised by The New York Times and Rolling Stone. The album’s
breakthrough anthem, the RIAA-Diamond certified “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” broke the record for the
longest-leading Hot 100 No. 1, has accumulated over two billion streams and made history, making
Shaboozey the first Black male artist to simultaneously top Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and Hot 100.

A TIME1OO NEXT honoree and Billboard Country Power Player, Shaboozey continues to honor his
Virginia roots and highlight modern Americana on a global stage. His 2024 debut headline tour sold out
in every market and his highly successful 2025 headline tour wrapped this past fall. He’s currently
working on new music, gearing up for an even more momentous 2026.
