Fresh off signing to Warner Records, 14-year-old country breakout Maddox Batson has dropped his new single “X's.”
Inspired by a concert experience where security marked his hand with an X, Batson says, “When I was in the studio, one of my co-writers noticed some of the Sharpie was still on my right hand - and we came up with the song name. We all loved it and the rest is history."
Having recently co-written Lana Del Rey and Quavo's “Tough,” Batson continues to make waves as a performer. He became the youngest artist to grace Whiskey Jam at CMA Fest and is set for his Maddox Batson & Friends headlining show at White House Pumpkin Patch on 9/28. Batson will also hit the road with Gabby Barrett this summer and fall.
Rising from Birmingham, Ala., and north of Nashville, Tenn., Batson’s blend of classic country, southern rock and pop has quickly garnered a global fanbase. With past singles like “Tears in the River” and “I Wanna Know” fueling his momentum, Batson's rapid ascent continues with his latest single.

Seen above wondering if X really does mark the spot are Warner’s COO/Co-chairman Tom Corson, Batson, WMG Board Memebr Val Blavatnik and Warner’s CEO/Co-chairman Aaron Bay-Schuck.
