Emerging singer-songwriter Cooper Ledford has turned heads with his blend of country storytelling and modern energy. The South Carolina native built momentum through a cappella covers and originals shared across social media that caught the attention of listeners, helping him steadily grow a dedicated fanbase.

Since moving to Nashville, Ledford has already reached major career milestones in less than a year. The up-and-comer has shared the stage with Ella Langley, Kameron Marlowe, Gretchen Wilson, LOCASH, Ryan Tyndell, Bryan Simpson, and Ryan Beaver, and recently performed at Raised Rowdy’s Outside the Round — a respected Nashville live music series that has hosted more than 1,000 shows and featured some of country music’s top songwriters. Continuing that momentum, he is slated to perform at Carolina Country Music Fest this summer.

His original music has earned placements across major editorial and tastemaker playlists, including Spotify’s All New Country and Fresh Finds Country, along with support from outlets such as Country Central, Country Chord, Whiskey Riff, and CMT. Bringing a roots driven perspective to his songwriting, Ledford pairs heartfelt lyrics with a sound built for the stage. 

On the heels of the release of his fifth single, Ledford is currently working on new music that embraces creative risks while staying grounded in the soulful songwriting his growing audience connects with.
