Shaboozey Presale — FAQ

About Shaboozey

Collins Obinna Chibueze was born May 22, 1995 in Woodbridge, Virginia, to Nigerian immigrant parents — his father from Igbo country in southeast Nigeria, his mother from the same region — and raised in northern Virginia within driving distance of both the DC hip-hop scene and the Appalachian country and bluegrass traditions of the western part of the state. He picked up the Shaboozey stage name in high school — a phonetic Anglicisation of the Igbo pronunciation of Chibueze that classmates had drifted into and that he kept — and began writing and recording his own material in 2014. He attended Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, dropped out after a year, and committed full-time to music. The early releases were uneven and self-released: a string of singles on SoundCloud, an EP that drifted in and out of streaming availability, and a slowly built catalogue of demos that landed him a publishing relationship and an early management deal by 2017. His first single under the Shaboozey name, "Jeff Gordon", arrived in 2018, and Lady Wrangler — his debut studio album, released on Republic Records and Trippy Mane Records in October 2018 — laid out the genre fusion that would define his career: country guitar tones, hip-hop drum programming, gang vocals, and a Virginia-Nigerian-American narrative voice that did not fit cleanly into Nashville or Atlanta but borrowed visibly from both. The record sold modestly and received mixed press, and Shaboozey spent the next three years off the major-label cycle — writing, recording, building the touring base from the bottom up. Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die, released independently on EMPIRE in May 2022, was the record that began the slow national breakthrough. The single "Tall Boy" got country radio attention in select markets, the album cycle drew the first wave of mainstream country press, and Shaboozey began appearing at the Grand Ole Opry and on Nashville songwriter showcases. By 2023 he was operating inside the loose Black country revival cohort — collaborating with Charley Crockett, opening dates for Brothers Osborne and Jelly Roll, and beginning the writing sessions that would become Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going. The Beyoncé connection came in early 2024. Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé's eighth studio album and her first explicit country-genre release, came out on March 29, 2024, and featured Shaboozey on two tracks: "Spaghettii" alongside Linda Martell, and "Sweet Honey Buckiin'". His placements on the most-discussed album of 2024 immediately raised his commercial profile, and "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" — released as a single on April 12, 2024 and as the lead song from Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going (May 31, 2024) — caught the wave. The song interpolated J-Kwon's 2004 hip-hop hit "Tipsy" over a country chord progression, hand claps, gang vocals on the chorus, and a lyric anchored in the universal weekend-bar-night experience. It moved from a TikTok-driven word-of-mouth start to country radio adds in mid-June, crossed onto pop radio by early July, and hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on the chart dated July 13, 2024. It stayed at number one for nineteen consecutive weeks, tying Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" (2019) and Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito" (2017) for the all-time record for the longest #1 run on the Hot 100 since the chart's launch in 1958. The song hit #1 simultaneously on the Hot Country Songs chart, made Shaboozey one of only a small handful of solo Black artists in the chart's history to hold the top country single in the modern era, and turned Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going into a multi-platinum top-five Billboard 200 record. The 2025 Grammy nominations followed in November 2024: Best New Artist, Song of the Year ("A Bar Song (Tipsy)"), Best Country Solo Performance, Best Country Song, and Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter as a featured guest contributor. Shaboozey continues to record on EMPIRE under his American Dogwood Records imprint and tours globally as a country-pop crossover headliner.
