About Zach Top
Described by Billboard as 'the future of country music,' Zach Top is in the midst of a landmark year after winning Best Traditional Country Album at the 68th Grammy Awards for his acclaimed sophomore album, Ain't In It For My Health -- the inaugural winner in the category. Top is set to release two highly anticipated new songs, 'Good Girls & Cowgirls' and 'Other Side Of Hurtin',' on August 21, marking his first new music since the release of Ain't In It For My Health.
The release follows a series of career milestones, including Top's win for New Artist of the Year at the 59th CMA Awards, New Male Artist of the Year at the 60th ACM Awards, his first #1 at country radio with 'I Never Lie,' and his inclusion in Variety's 2025 Young Hollywood Impact Report. Known for his engaging live performances, Top is currently on his extensive 'Cold Beer & Country Music' headline tour, running through the end of the year, alongside select stadium dates with Chris Stapleton.
Released last summer, Ain't In It For My Health (Leo33) debuted with over 30 million global streams in its first week and has been widely praised, with Rolling Stone calling him a country great in the making, the Los Angeles Times describing it as 'as crisp as country music gets,' and Pitchfork highlighting its 'good, clean country fun.' The album follows his 2024 breakthrough debut Cold Beer & Country Music, which has surpassed one billion streams.
Raised in Sunnyside, Washington, Top grew up on classic country music and formed a bluegrass band with his siblings at age seven.
