WHAT IT IS: At just 14 years old, Maddox Batson navigates life with insight and humor belying his age. Early singles like “Tears in the River” and “X’s” quickly showed that he wasn’t just an up-and-comer covering country hits but also as a skilled songwriter—evidenced by his co-write on the Lana Del Rey-Quavo collaboration “Tough.” With the release of his latest single, “Southbound,” Batson aims to carve out his own identity in music while preparing for live shows and additional releases in the near future.
