Canaan Cox brings a unique musical perspective that prioritizes connection and authenticity, influencing everything he does today, from songwriting to performing. Originally from North Carolina, Cox’s father blasted Conway Twitty records while his mother toured the southeast with her band, and his seven sisters ensured he had a healthy dose of pop music.

In 2016, Cox moved to Nashville. His journey from small-town football star to Nashville artist demonstrates his unique ability to bridge seemingly opposite worlds: athletics and arts, rural and urban, traditional and progressive. Cox delivers stadium-ready anthems powered by country storytelling and polished pop production. In 2021, he met radio & television personality Bobby Bones, who loved his hustle and invited Cox on his show.

With over 120M streams (as of January 2025), he has been featured on playlists such as Spotify’s New Boots, Wild Country, Breakout Country, Next from Nashville, Apple Music’s New in Country, and Amazon’s Breakthrough Country. Throughout 2025 Canaan Cox will release new music and tour North America and Europe. His latest single, “This Town’s Yours,” is available everywhere now!
