About Cody Johnson

Cody Wayne Johnson was born May 18, 1987 in Sebastopol, Texas — an unincorporated community in the East Texas pines about an hour and a half north of Houston — and raised between Huntsville and the rodeo grounds his father took him to as soon as he could climb a fence. He picked up a guitar in his early teens, picked up bull riding around the same time, and rode the Texas amateur rodeo circuit through high school and into his early twenties as a working bull rider with serious enough chops to chase a pro card. The day job that funded the music for the first eight years of the career was a corrections officer at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in Huntsville, the prison-town the East Texas Department runs out of; Johnson worked the gates and the towers in uniform from 2008 through about 2013 while gigging four and five nights a week at the dance halls — Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, the Houston honky-tonks — and self-releasing studio records under his own CoJo Music imprint. Black and White and Six Strings (2006) was the first record; Cowboy Like Me (2010), A Different Day (2011), Cowboy Like Me Deluxe (2013), Cowboy Like Me Bonus (2014), Gotta Be Me (2016) and Cowboy Like Me's various reissues followed across the next decade. By 2014 the Texas country radio format had Johnson at the top of its airplay chart and Billy Bob's Fort Worth on its books for sold-out multi-night runs; the major-label conversation that Nashville had spent five years not having with him finally happened in early 2018 when Warner Music Nashville signed Johnson on a deal that — unusually for a Music Row contract — let him keep his band, his producer Trent Willmon and his publishing imprint intact.

Ain't Nothin' to It came out in January 2019 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, the largest country debut of the year. The Cowboy Like Me dance-hall material that Johnson had been chart-topping the Texas regional format with for a decade was the spine of the record; "On My Way to You" was the lead single and his first national No. 1. Human: The Double Album arrived in October 2021 as a sprawling double-album set with seventeen tracks across two discs, and "'Til You Can't" — the song that flipped the catalogue from regional Texas-country headliner to stadium-tier — landed as the lead single. The song ran to No. 1 on the Billboard country airplay chart, won the 2022 CMA Song of the Year and Single of the Year, picked up the 2023 Grammy nomination for Best Country Song, and put Johnson on the front row of the country format's award-circuit conversation for the first time. "The Painter" — the love song he wrote for his wife Brandi Johnson, the high-school sweetheart he has been married to since 2011 and with whom he has three daughters — followed as the next No. 1; "Human" anchored the next cycle. Leather arrived in November 2023 with the title track and "The Fall" as the two anchor singles, extended the Texas dance-hall material into another platinum-selling record, and built out the Leather Tour stadium-and-arena routing that has rolled continuously since. A CMA Award winner, an ACM-recognised touring operation, and one of the very few Texas-traditional country headliners selling rodeo grounds and arenas at scale, Johnson remains based out of Huntsville with Brandi and the daughters and runs the CoJo Music imprint as his publishing home.
