On-the-rise singer/songwriter Cody Lohden is bursting onto the country scene as a lyrical force to be reckoned with. His heart for making music grew after picking up the guitar at age 12 and strengthened quickly, playing live shows with his father who instilled and encouraged his passion for the craft early on. After a TikTok video showing off his vocal chops blew up on Barstool Sports, the rising talent caught the attention of Music City tastemaker ERNEST. In 2022, Lohden released his music independently, left his job as a firefighter/paramedic and moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue his dream. He took his tunes on the road opening for in-demand artists like Bailey Zimmerman and Walker Hayes. Set for an even bigger 2023, Lohden started the year off strong, announced exclusively by Billboard as one of the flagship songwriters signed to ERN’s Cadillac Music, a publishing partnership with Big Loud. Lohden also celebrated his first major label cut with Bailey Zimmerman’s “Is This Really Over?” Building momentum, Lohden will be opening for ERNEST on his fall 2023 This Fire Tour.
