WHAT IT IS: Hailing from Willacoochee, Ga., RVSHVD has steadily made a name for himself since his viral cover of Roddy Ricch’s “Ballin’” in 2020. The country up-and-comer has enjoyed a banner 2023, including a CMA Fest performance at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium in front of 60k fans in June—four months before he made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry—and praise from The Boot, American Songwriter and Music Row, among others. RVSHVD plans to release his first full-length album and headline his first nationwide tour in 2024.
