You may remember Ramsey as the 11-year-old who yodeled his way into our hearts with a cover of Hank Williams’ “Lovesick Blues” in the middle of a Walmart. The singer, still only 19, revealed earlier this year that he’d been dropped by his label. Now, after some contemplation, he’s ready for a new, more “honest” era.
The singer announced on Instagram that he’s “stepping into a new chapter,” both as an artist and as a person. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately,” he shared, explaining that being active online “never felt all that natural to me.”
“I want this next era to feel honest,” the “That Somebody” singer continued. Ramsey, who grew up in the spotlight, is now focusing on creating music that is true to himself. “At the end of the day, I’m just a musician, and I wanna make songs that really mean something to me.”
He revealed that he has been in the studio every day and has “never been this excited about what I’m making.” The country star added, “I can’t wait for you to hear what’s coming next.”
