Carlton Anderson (born July 1, 1992) is an American country music singer-songwriter, based in Nashville, Tennessee, United States.

Career[edit]

Anderson grew up in Cypress, Texas, before attending Belmont University and playing on Music City's Lower Broadway.[1] As a kid he worked odd jobs at the grocery store and oil fields to earn money to buy a guitar and PA.[2] Anderson’s musical influences begin with Willie Nelson, who he refers to as "his drug"[3] as well as George Strait.[4]

His 1990s influenced sound has brought him recognition with a new crop of country artists including Riley Green and Cody Johnson[5] who Anderson has toured with in Nashville. He released a self titled EP in 2014 with the songs "Airplane" and "Forever".[6]

He signed with Sony Nashville in 2018 and released a debut single on May 18 called "Drop Everything". The track was co-written by Rhett Akins, Matt Dragstrem, and Ashley Gorley.[7][8]

He was named the Breakthrough Artist of the Week on 979KickFM on May 25.[9] Anderson parted ways with Arista Nashville in September 2019.
