Hudson Westbrook

Hailing from Stephenville, Texas, located about an hour southwest of Fort Worth, Hudson Westbrook grew up in a blue-collar community surrounded by livestock. Hard work and authenticity serving as a pillar in his songwriting, he explains, "My experiences growing up there equipped me with the tools to portray a hard-working, honest country lifestyle from someone who has genuinely lived that life."

After teaching himself to play guitar while pursuing an education at Texas Tech, Westbrook began writing songs and honing the beginnings of his craft. Releasing his debut single, 'Take It Slow,' in April 2024, his stars really began to align in August with the release of his first viral hit, '5 to 9.'

Propelling him into the spotlight nearly overnight, the single helped quickly establish Westbrook as one of the most promising young artists in the genre, and by November, he delivered his debut, self-titled EP, which features seven tracks, including 'Pray Your Name,' 'Dopamine' and standout tune, 'House Again.'

After spending the bulk of 2025 as a road warrior on his own headlining shows, as well as support for some of the genre's biggest modern touring titans, Westbrook also teed up his highly-anticipated debut album, Texas Forever, in July. Coming in at 17 songs, the album serves as a perfect proper introduction to the Texan crooner as he navigates newfound stardom, first loves and the rollercoaster of his early 20s.

Heralding in this new age of neo-traditional country that blends the classic feel of '90s icons with modern influences, Westbrook draws comparisons to artists like George Strait and Parker McCollum, while also keeping one foot firmly planted in the sleek charms of today's mainstream sound.

Thanks to his authentic storytelling coupled with the dedication to his craft, Westbrook has become one of the fastest rising stars in the next generation of country music and this is only the beginning.
