Биография

Canaan Cox is the definition of a triple threat - artist, actor and dancer. His music is a fusion of contemporary country, pop and a hint of R&B, which is no surprise as he grew up in a musical household. Originally from North Carolina, his dad blasted Conway Twitty records while his mother toured the southeast with her band, and his seven sisters ensured he had a healthy dose of pop music. Cox went on to earn his BFA in Musical Theatre from Catawba College which allows him a unique musical perspective from writing original music to his performance on stage. Cox moved to Nashville in the fall of 2016, and began playing the downtown bars. During a chance encounter in 2021, Cox met radio & television personality Bobby Bones, who loved his hustle and invited Cox on his show, reaching over 9.2 million listeners. His single “As You Leave” (January 2022) received critical acclaim with marquee playlisting on Spotify including New Boots, Wild Country, Breakout Country; Apple’s New in Country, and highlighted on Amazon’s Breakthrough Country. ​ Following the support from the Bobby Bones Show, "As You Leave" was featured on the Country Top 30. This momentum led Cox to a phenomenal year of streaming, seeing incredible 10x growth in 2022. His new single “Hate Me More” highlights his craft as a songwriter that blends his unique styles of music. There is much to come from this multi-talented artist that is paving his own lane in country music.
