Koe Wetzel never met a genre wall he couldn?t tear down. The Texan singer-songwriter has earned a rabid audience for his songs that mix country, rock, hip-hop and Nineties grunge. With his defining fifth studio album, the Gold-certified 9 Lives released in 2024 via Columbia Records, Wetzel earned recognition on several major year-end best-of lists, including Rolling Stone, Billboard, the Tennessean and more, with the Los Angeles Times naming lead single ?High Road? (feat. Jessie Murph) as the No. 8 best song of 2024 across all genres. The single not only marked Wetzel?s debut at Country radio, it also held the No. 1 spot for five weeks, was the most-played song of 2025 per Country Aircheck/Mediabase and the now-3x Platinum song became his fastest to reach the RIAA Platinum milestone to date. Previously, his 2016 album Noise Complaint endeared him to fans with its no-holds-barred lyrics about drunken nights, broken hearts and stints in jail.
