Drew Green

Country Music Artist

Growing up on a tree farm in McMinnville, Tenn., Drew Green had a life encompassed by two things: The tractor he drove, and the music he played while on it. Unlike many of his country peers, Drew didn’t immediately make music a priority upon going to college. Instead, he pursued a degree in finance, landing a promising job at a local bank upon graduating. But his desire to make it big in Nashville was always in the back of his mind, particularly because he’d already felt a taste of it as a performer at Nashville’s famed hotspot Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. When an opportunity for a promotion came up at the bank, Drew was inspired to turn it down and give music one more shot. He is the first to admit that it wasn’t an overnight success story from there. But in late 2018, his decision paid off, as Florida Georgia Line put a hold on his song “Colorado,” and they released it on their Can’t Say I Ain’t Country album the next year. Later in 2019, Drew Green landed his first music publishing deal with Warner Chappell Nashville and Grammy winner Brett James’ company, Cornman Music. Subsequently, Drew brought on James as his manager and credits him with helping to score Green his record deal with Villa 40/RCA Records/Sony Music Nashville last year.
