Gyth Rigdon

Gyth Rigdon was born on February 2, 1994. He grew up on a racehorse farm in Singer, Louisiana. His early mornings involved feeding, washing, and training 27 horses. Rigdon discovered his musical inclination at age 15, participating in family campfire jam sessions. At 17, his father booked his first professional three-hour show at a biker bar, which he continued to play at. This early exposure to live performance helped him develop his stage presence and connection with audiences.

Rigdon’s music career progressed as he played gigs on the road for several years. During this period, he shared stages with established artists such as Jake Owen and Gary Allen, further honing his craft and gaining experience within the music industry. In 2019, Rigdon entered season 16 of NBC’s The Voice. His blind audition of Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away” earned three chair turns, and he ultimately joined Team Blake Shelton. Rigdon advanced through multiple rounds, performing songs like Mitchell Tenpenny’s “Drunk Me,” Conway Twitty’s “Goodbye Time,” Shenandoah’s “I Want To Be Loved Like That,” and Blake Shelton’s “Nobody But Me.” He was a finalist on the show, securing the runner-up position.

Throughout his time on The Voice, Rigdon received significant support from his hometown and earned the key to the city. His performance of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless The U.S.A.” in the semifinals resonated with audiences, and he was the only artist in his season to earn the Apple Music bonus. Post-Voice, Rigdon has continued his music career, focusing on new releases, including his album “When I’m Gone,” and navigating life as a father while engaging with his fanbase.
