Corey Kent White was born on June 21, 1994, in Bixby, Oklahoma. From a young age, Kent was immersed in country music, citing artists like Garth Brooks as influences. His musical journey began early, joining a touring Western Swing group at the age of 11, which provided him with five years of experience in the music circuit. After the group dissolved, Kent faced uncertainty about his future in music. A pivotal moment occurred during a chance encounter where he was invited to join Willie Nelson on stage, inspiring him to pursue songwriting. At 17, he secured a publishing deal in Tennessee, a significant step in his career. However, he later lost this deal and returned to Texas before the COVID-19 pandemic.
As restrictions eased, Corey Kent resumed touring in Texas and Oklahoma, performing in clubs and opening for established artists such as Randy Rogers, Parker McCollum, Kolby Cooper, and Cody Johnson. His breakthrough came in 2022 with “Wild as Her,” which gained popularity on streaming platforms and subsequently charted. This success led to a bidding war among Nashville labels, culminating in RCA Records Nashville signing Kent in August 2022. RCA Nashville then actively promoted “Wild as Her” to country radio. The song achieved considerable success, amassing over 300 million streams, earning platinum status by March 2023, and reaching the top spot on Country Radio in May of the same year.
Kent’s major label debut album, “Blacktop,” was released on June 2, 2023, via RCA Nashville. Following this, “Something’s Gonna Kill Me” was released as the second single on July 10, 2023. His career progression continued with the release of “Black Bandana” in September 2024, which featured a collaboration with Lauren Alaina. He also released the singles “Measure” with Max McNown and “Dodge a Bullet” in 2025. Kent’s recorded works include several albums: “Long Way” (2016), “21” (2021), “Blacktop” (2023), and “Black Bandana” (2024). He also released a live album, “’24 Live,” in 2024.
