Cole Swindell with Nate Smith and Greylan James

About

The Knoxville, Tennessee native moved to Nashville in pursuit of his dreams. Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) signed Greylan to a global publishing deal shortly after. While writing, he was also featured on NBC’s The Voice and ranked one of the best guitarists in the world under 21 by Guitar Center Magazine’s Brotherhood of the Guitar Top 100. His songwriting is relatable, often in the hands of notable names such as Chris Young, Blake Shelton, and Chris Janson. In 2020, Kenny Chesney personally called Greylan to inform him he was recording his song “Happy Does,” which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. One of his latest cuts, “Next Thing You Know,” recorded and co-written by Jordan Davis, aims to do the same as it rapidly climbs the charts.

Since the release of his debut EP, I Hope She Hears These, in 2022, Greylan has since signed a record deal with Big Machine Label Group fulfilling a childhood dream and joining the likes of Lady A, Brett Young, Florida Georgia Line, and many more. His latest release, “Undermine,” accompanies a slew of previously released singles, including “Old Truck, Young Love,” co-written with NBA superstar Jimmy Butler, “My Future,” and “2 Years Back,” which will be featured on Greylan’s forthcoming full-length album due out later this year.
