Background

Combs was born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina.[1] He has been performing as a vocalist since his childhood. While attending A.C. Reynolds High School, Combs played football and performed with multiple vocal groups, including performing a solo in the world-renowned Carnegie Hall. Later, he attended Appalachian State University where he played his first country music show at the Parthenon Cafe. With less than a month left of his fourth-year of college, he dropped out to pursue his country music career. He later moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music.[2]

In early 2016, Luke Combs started dating Nicole Hocking.[3]

Music

Combs released his first EP, The Way She Rides, in February 2014. Later that year, he released his second EP, Can I Get an Outlaw.[4] In 2015, Combs' first single, "Hurricane", sold 15,000 copies in the first week,[5] and debuted at No. 46 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.[6] In November 2015, Combs released his third EP, This One's for You. In June 2017, Combs released his major label debut album, also titled This One's For You on Columbia Nashville and River House Artists.

Combs signed a deal with Sony Music Nashville, and the debut single from This One's For You, "Hurricane" was re-released on Columbia Nashville.[5] "Hurricane," reached No. 1 on the Country Radio airplay charts on May 15, 2017 - holding that spot for 2 weeks.[7] The album reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart[8] and No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums[9] in its first week. The album's second single, "When It Rains It Pours" released to country radio on June 19, 2017.[10] It reached at number one on the Country Airplay in October 2017. The album's third single, "One Number Away" released to country radio on January 8, 2018.

In early 2017, the singer/songwriter was named one of Sounds Like Nashville's "Artist to Watch."[11]
