From Willacoochee, Georgia (population 1200) hails twenty-six-year-old singer / songwriter RVSHVD (pronounced RA-SHAD). Ten years ago, he envisioned a career in hip hop until he heard “Sweet Thing” by Keith Urban. Then he found Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, George Strait, Alan Jackson, and Brooks & Dunn; all of whom he credits as ultimate musical influences.
With the help of his signature vocal tone and a bare-bones home studio, RVSHVD hit the jackpot on his country version of Roddy Ricch’s “Ballin.” The song went viral on Spotify, TikTok, Apple, and YouTube amassing over 25M streams and uplifting his catalog of songs to over 150M streams. A preview of his recent single, “Shoebox Money” struck a national conversation racking up 15M plays, 1M likes, and 450K+ shares on Instagram Reels alone, a testament to his unique position in the country music lexicon.
RVSHVD has earned praise from Billboard who named him Country Rookie of the Month, applauding that he “…has carefully curated his own genre-bending sound.” CMT has dubbed him as one of their “Artist To Watch 2024” and recently tapped him for their “Viral to Verified” program.
RVSHVD has played Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest, debuted at the Grand Ole Opry and toured with various artists ranging from Dwight Yoakam to T-Pain. He’s set to play Stagecoach Festival Golden Sky Festival, CMA Fest again this year.
RVSHVD recently released his EP “The Intro” featuring rock star collaborators Ice Nine Kills, Asking Alexandria and hip hop icon Paul Wall and will be releasing his debut full length album later this year.
RVSHVD is signed to The Penthouse South record label, Empire Publishing, and CAA for touring.
