Story by Snehashree Mandal for Country Music News International
Known for works like Cowboys and Angels, She Cranks my Tractor and Hell of a Night, Dustin Lynch is one of the super sensations of country music in today’s date. Lynch shifted to Nashville in his teens. As an 18-year old with dream filled eyes, Lynch pursued country music right from his college days in David Lipscomb University where he was enrolled to obtaining a B.S degree in Biology.
But then even though he single mindedly pursued music, he began his career in a sewage treatment plant by day and singing at Bluebird Café by the night. Justin Moore’s manager recognized his talent for the first time. In 2011, Broken bow Records signed a contract term with him. Post this period his debut single were released in 2012. The song was co-written by Lynch alongside Tim Nichols and Josh Leo.
He tasted success for the first time when his songs were played on the Country Weekly website and was loved by millions of people who tuned in to listen to new songs.
His second song, She Cranks My Tractor made it to the top 20 hits of 2013 and is also a chartbuster. His song Wild in your smile also made it to the top 30 list.
He also co-wrote Dallas Smith’s Somebody Somewhere and James Wesley’s Thank a Farmer in 2013.
In 2014, Lynch wrote his fourth single and Where It’s At (Yep, Yep) climbed the number one spot in the Country Airplay chart 2014. The album named after the name of the song is released on 9th September 2014. The next releases Hell of a Night and Mind Reader released on country radio as the second and third singles of the same album. These two songs also reached the number one spot in the Country Airplay charts.
The year 2018 was very significant in Lynch’s life since it was in this year that he was inducted to Grand Ole Opry on 18th September 2018. Before that he performed Small Town Boy at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. In May 2018, Lynch released Good Girl and in the same year, he also co-wrote Brett Kissel’s Guitar and Gasoline.
Ridin Roads is an EP that was released on 8th March 2019 and the title track was released on country radio that reached the number one spot on Country Airplay in 2020. His second song from the fourth studio album Tullahoma was the same and was released with the album on 17th January 2020.
If you closely look at his scaling graph, he has made progress slowly and steadily. The release of his fifth studio album, Tequila on a boat, featured Chris Lane and was released on 14th May 2021. The man enjoys his way up the success ladder and feels Kate Upton is the sexiest woman alive. If given a chance to relive his life as a celebrity, he would want to be Garth Brooks preferably for his boots and to figure out why he did what he did.
He loves to listen to music while lying down in open green fields. Outside the music world, he loved anatomy and as a pre-med major, he was interested in going to a medical school but then he chose music as his career.
