Blake Whiten
Emerging rapidly from a small-town background to become one of the most exciting new voices in country music, Blake Whiten has quickly transitioned from a viral sensation to a bona fide stadium act. With his signature raspy vocal, pitch-black alt-rock intensity, and raw storytelling, he has already amassed more than 150 million global streams to date.
Whiten’s breakout hit, the solo-written “Rollin’ Stone,” took the genre by storm, racking up over 120 million global streams on its own. The smash hit anchors his debut EP, Six Mile, named after his South Carolina hometown of just 700 people. The project features other fan-favorite tracks like “Breakin’ My Heart” and “Made for Goodbyes,” showcasing the powerhouse songwriting abilities that recently earned him a co-writer credit on Bailey Zimmerman’s Billboard Hot Country Top 40 hit, “Holding On.”
His explosive entry into the industry has not gone unnoticed by country radio or Nashville institutions. Whiten was recently named a highly coveted SiriusXM "Highway Find"—a title known for predicting the genre's biggest future superstars—and celebrated a massive career milestone in early 2026 by making his official debut at the legendary Grand Ole Opry.
Bringing his high-energy, broken-glass intensity to the live stage, Whiten is currently building a massive national fanbase on the road. Solidifying his status as one of country’s top rising acts, he is spending this year sharing the stage with two of the biggest names in the genre, opening on Bailey Zimmerman’s Different Night Same Rodeo Tour and playing stadiums across the country on Morgan Wallen’s Still the Problem Tour 2026.
