About Mitchell Tenpenny
Riser House/Columbia Nashville artist and multi-platinum #1 hitmaker Mitchell Tenpenny recently released a new EP Midtown Diaries. Mitchell produced the eight-song project with Jordan M Schmidt and co-wrote all the tracks including his current radio single “Truth About You.” Before the song went to country radio, he previewed it for his fans on TikTok, “You listen to the fans who listen to you,” Mitchell said about their instantaneous reaction. The song became the largest streaming debut of his career now with more than 40 million total on-demand streams. Last month Mitchell released an early Christmas gift for his fans with Naughty List, his new 11-song Christmas album.
Since the release of his debut single, “Drunk Me,” Mitchell has set new standards for breakout success in country music. The 2X Platinum-certified, No. 1 hit that has amassed over 500 million on-demand streams was taken from his introductory 2018 album, Telling All My Secrets, and earned him the best first week showing for any major label country debut LP. Since that time, the “winning” singer (the New York Times) was nominated for New Male Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards and Breakthrough Video (“Drunk Me”) at the CMT Music Awards and saw his “Alcohol You Later” and “Anything She Says” singles certified gold.
