Maddox Batson navigates the world with wisdom and wit far beyond his 15 years. After the Nashville-born, Alabama-based songwriter began gaining notoriety by covering songs from Zach Bryan, Red Clay Strays, and others, he started writing his own songs.
Thanks to early singles like “Tears In The River” and “I Wanna Know,” Batson quickly showed that he wasn’t only a star at covering country hits, but an excellent writer of his own home-cooked cuts — a practice he saw first-hand as a co-writer on Lana Del Rey and Quavo’s collaboration “Tough.”
With the arrival of his deluxe EP First Dance (The After Party) in May, Batson was ready to show the world you’re never too young to be the face of music. Most recently, he kicked off his 29-city I Need A Truck Tour and released a new track, “Coincidence.” Batson also made his debut appearance at Stagecoach Music Festival in 2025.
Life is moving fast for the multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar & mandolin) and he’s trying his best to remain a kid while becoming the next up in country-pop music. “It can be overwhelming, this life, but I’ve got a lot of good people surrounding me,” he explains. “I’m still just a kid, though, and I’m happy about that.”
