Hailing from the Mississippi-Alabama border, Colin Stough is a self-taught guitarist and gravel-voiced storyteller influenced by Southern rock legends. After a successful run on American Idol Season 21, where he secured a third-place finish, Stough signed with 19 Recordings / BMG Nashville and released his breakout debut featuring tracks like “Bad Day” and “I Still Talk to Jesus.” Building a dedicated fan base of nearly 750k, Stough's raw vocals and honest lyrics on EPs like Promiseland and Lookin’ For Home reflect his journey through scars, faith, and fire with Southern grit, while his latest release "White Trash" stays true to his underdog narrative.

Stough, a student of iconic acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd, has shared the stage with artists such as Chase Matthew and Drake White, honing his live performance skills. Rejecting mainstream trends, he focuses on delivering authentic storytelling through his music, staying true to his roots and the outlaw spirit that defines his sound. As he continues to evolve as an artist, Stough remains dedicated to sharing the underdog’s truth through his compelling songwriting, one track at a time.
