The Washington native has an old soul for a guy born in 1997, having spent his childhood playing in a bluegrass band with his siblings. The mustachioed singer relocated to Nashville in 2021, where he honed his style of songwriting—inspired by ’90s country legends like Alan Jackson—before finally releasing his Cold Beer & Country Music album in April 2024. Nostalgic tracks like “Sounds Like the Radio” and “I Never Lie” have powered Top’s recent rise, landing him a nod for New Artist of the Year at the 2024 CMA Awards and opening spots on recent tour dates for Dierks Bentley and Lainey Wilson.
