Jonathan Hutcherson infuses country with uplifting affirmations culled from his own real-life underdog journey. Belting right from the gut as he wears his heart on his sleeve, the Kentucky-born and Nashville-based singer and songwriter shares his truth without filter. As a child, he recognized an innate predisposition for singing and songwriting even with “moderate to severe hearing loss.” Wearing hearing aids since the age of two, he nevertheless gravitated to music from the first moment he could. At 16-years-old, he auditioned for NBC’s The Voice and ended up on Team Pharrell Williams. His appearance on the show boosted his confidence. After his final high school test, he bolted straight to Nashville on February 1, 2018—a date he memorialized with a tattoo on his arm. His independent single “Strangers” racked up 1 million-plus Spotify streams as he logged countless sessions around Music City, balancing a job at Lowe’s to stay afloat. In 2019, he caught the attention of Creative Nation and signed a publishing and development deal. Co-writing with the likes of Parker Welling, Jamie Moore, Josh Jenkins, and Heather Morgan, he spent the next year cultivating his sound, drawing equally from those formative gospel influences, classic country, and homegrown bluegrass with a twist of modern pop.  He forged a close connection to audiences on his 2021 self-titled debut EP and with new singles, “Blue Collar” and “Makes A Man,” he has no plans of stopping now.
