About Conner Smith

Just 22 years old and already a seasoned veteran of Nashville’s elite songwriting community, Conner Smith has become one of Country’s most hotly-anticipated new artists – an uncommon talent mixing prime-of-life passion with old-soul perspective. After penning his first song at 6 and scoring a publishing deal at 16, the Country prodigy wrote five of the six songs on his Zach Crowell-produced 2022 debut collection DIDN’T GO TOO FAR (The Valory Music Co.). Featuring his first Top 40 hit “Learn From It,” viral smash “I Hate Alabama,” and fan-favorite “Take It Slow,” the charismatic effort laid an artistic foundation that earned Smith 2022 Artist to Watch status from Spotify, Amazon Music and Opry NextStage, while also making him the only Country artist on Pandora’s Ten List 2022 and securing 2023 recognition from MusicRow Next Big Thing, CMT Listen Up, and more. That momentum will keep building throughout 2023 as Smith promises and delivers a new batch of “next level” music as reflected with his new bluegrass-inflected twang rocking single “Creek Will Rise,” headed to Country radio this spring. Touring alongside Thomas Rhett, Parker McCollum and Ryan Hurd last year, Smith is currently on the road headlining his first-ever IF I WENT TO COLLEGE TOUR presented by the Monster Entergy Outbreak tour with special guests Mackenzie Carpenter and Jonathan Hutcherson. He’ll also support Chase Rice on select dates in March before joining Luke Bryan’s COUNTRY ON TOUR this summer.
