About Greylan James:

After high school, Greylan James moved to Nashville, TN in pursuit of his dreams in the music business. Shortly after, Universal Music Publishing signed Greylan to a global publishing deal at just 18 years old. While writing, he was also featured on NBC's The Voice and was 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 proven to be relatable, often ending up in the hands of notable names such as Chris Young, Blake Shelton, Jordan Davis, Cole Swindell, Darius Rucker, and Chris Janson. In 2020, Kenny Chesney personally called Greylan to inform him that he was recording his song "Happy Does," which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. Currently, "Next Thing You Know," is a song Greylan co-wrote that is quickly climbing the Country radio charts performed by Jordan Davis. In 2023, Greylan is also currently opening shows for Old Dominion on the No Bad Vibes Tour from January through July and has been shown support as a new artist by People Country, American Songwriter, CMT, and Billboard. In April, Greylan was named as SiriusXM's The Highway's newest Highway Find, featuring his songs "My Future" and "2 Years Back." In the same month, Greylan signed his first major record deal with Big Machine Label Group with plans to release his first single to Country radio this year.
