An incredible performer and songwriter, he really blew up the country music scene and his 2020 album, 'Starting Over,' was no exception to his fantastic work. It received generally positive reviews from both critics and fans, with Holly Gleason of The American Songwriter calling it "a masterpiece of country soul strung over lean blues/rock".

Perhaps one of the most defining features of Chris Stapleton's music is that it does not belong to one particular genre. Although yes, he is called a country artist, but his musical tastes and skills go far beyond that. As a songwriter, Stapleton has written for various artists including Kelly Clarkson and Justin Timberlake as well as more traditional country artists such as Thomas Rhett and Luke Bryan (according to Rolling Stone). And over the years, he's done a lot of voice work, collaborating with Timberlake, Taylor Swift, and even Pink.
His ability to create in any genre is incredibly unique and makes him stand out, though he didn't always appreciate it. “It didn’t suit me before,” he said. New York Times . "Everyone goes through a phase where it's, 'Oh, if I could just sound like Vince Gill.' Then you will realize that you have your own voice, whether you like it or not, and you have to stick to it.
And stick with what he's got, which allows him to switch between bluegrass, rock, pop country and old school country with ease. He has been successful in almost every iteration of music he has tried, from his bluegrass band The SteelDrivers to his southern rock band The Jompson Brothers. However, it wasn't until he accepted who he was that he finally succeeded, collecting numerous awards from his solo efforts.
He sort of got into the music
Terry Wyatt/acma2021/Getty Images
For such a skilled musician, Chris Stapleton almost didn't become one.
A native of eastern Kentucky, Stapleton came from a mining family — both his father and grandfather were part of the profession, according to Herald Dispatcher. And his mother wasn't a musician either; she was a health department worker, behind Paste. But while he didn't come from a family of musicians, Stapleton still points to his parents' work ethic and their support for letting him do what he loves. "We've always been told that we can be anything if we work hard at it, keep our heads up and believe in it," he told Paste.
This work ethic has paid off. Eventually, Stapleton taught himself to play the guitar, picking up an old one his father had bought to teach himself. American songwriter noted. After a few lessons, Stapleton learned the rest of what he needed to know and started going to bars at night after his day job. He eventually met songwriter Steve Leslie who showed him that songwriting could be a career and invited him to Nashville to start writing songs. A few weeks later, he moved to Nashville permanently, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Although Chris Stapleton's iconic voice is now well known in the music industry, there was a chance he would never grace the ears of listeners. Although he performed at local shows in Kentucky, the American Songwriter reportedly, once he moved to Nashville, his only focus was on songwriting. In fact, he seemed so engrossed in songwriting as his career that he didn't seem to focus on performing for himself at all. “I was so enamored with the culture of songwriting,” he told American Songwriter, “that for the first three or four years, the thought of actually performing would never even cross my mind. I haven't really played live; I just wrote. I have to go to work every day, sit in a room and compose songs. I wrote two or three songs a day [sic]. That's all I wanted to do. I thought, "This is my job and it's amazing."
The senior vice president of Sea Gayle Music, who hired Stapleton when he first came to Nashville, invited Capitol Records Nashville president Mike Dungan to her office to hear Stapleton sing.
This meeting made the record deal a reality. Stapleton performed several of his songs, and Dungan signed a contract with him that evening. Unfortunately, the deal was short-lived as it did not give the artist full creative control.
His award-winning performing career began modestly.

Chris Stapleton was already building an incredible and rewarding songwriting career when he moved to Nashville. "Rumors [about Stapleton] have spread throughout the city," said Liz O'Sullivan, senior vice president of Sea Gayle Music. American songwriter. “People fought over his songs. By the end of his first year, he had received more cuts than some writers receive in their entire careers." But while his songwriting career was just getting started, his performing career never seemed to take off. After his deal with Capitol Records fell through, Stapleton returned to writing full-time, spending time every Thursday night with musician Mike Henderson creating new songs.
Eventually, Henderson contacted three of his friends and he and Stapleton went to the local VFW to perform some of their new stuff. The guys found a common language, and so the first Chris Stapleton band The SteelDrivers was created. Stapleton told Pure Music, "I solely attribute to Mike the idea of creating this band. We had these songs, and he likes to say that we had "perfectly good songs that would go to waste." He said, "What would you think about playing a little bluegrass?"
The band spent a lot of time on the road and received several Grammy nominations and one win (Best Bluegrass Album of 2015), bringing Stapleton to the forefront as lead singer for the first time. Although he would have left the band in 2010 to take care of his family and his art, the success of The SteelDrivers opened a door for the artist that he (apparently) willingly stepped through.

When talking about the inspiration for his hits, Chris Stapleton often points to real events he has experienced that influenced him.
For example, "The Devil Named Music" from his debut album "Traveller" is inspired by his tour with The SteelDrivers. “Most of the song is real stuff,” he explained American Songwriter. He described a situation where the band played a gig in Wyoming, traveled to Billings, Montana because that was the nearest airport, and then flew out to Salt Lake City to play another gig. ' This is what the song is about, he explained. "I missed my child and my wife, and I began to understand what it means to be a touring musician."
After his first single with Universal Records failed and his father passed away, the singer-songwriter needed a break. After his wife bought him a Jeep (he probably couldn't afford an old model, Stapleton told Insert), they decided to book a one-way trip to Arizona and return to Nashville.

The 1979 Jeep Cherokee had a lot of problems, but this trip was an important part of Chris Stapleton's life.
While driving through the desert in New Mexico, the artist watched the sun rise and formulated the lyrics to the song "Traveler". As Tennessee reported, "As his comrades slept in the car, Stapleton whispered the words into his phone, 'I'm only a traveler on this earth / Sure my heart is in my shirt pocket / I just keep rolling until I'm in the dirt ". This song eventually cemented his incredible debut album and arguably gave him a new perspective on his career.

Chris Stapleton attributes his band's existence to the success of his solo albums, according to his interview with Insert. Although he started out as the frontman of two official bands, The SteelDrivers and The Jompson Brothers, even his solo work is based on music. Stapleton's wife, Morgan, is also a songwriter and singer and often performs harmonies with her husband.
Apart from this collaboration, Stapleton shared in an interview that his fellow musicians formed the core of his musical identity and really allowed him to flourish.
It was "one of those happy accidents," Stapleton explained to Paste, as the band's foundation was formed when their fivesome became a trio when the steel and keyboardist decided to go their separate ways. Chris Stapleton worked with this band to record his debut album, focusing on his "musical family" (as Morgan Stapleton called it) instead of hiring session musicians as many artists do.
According to American Songwriter, Stapleton and his band recorded most of their tracks live without relying on overdubs as many others would. In fact, the final song for 'Traveller' was recorded at an album audition party and many of the party members performed live on the track. "It seemed like a good idea at the time," he told Paste, but also explained that he wanted to give people an "experience" and not make it look like they were being forced to listen to his new album.

Being such a successful songwriter and performer - and being married to a successful songwriter as well - no wonder Chris Stapleton has a sizable net worth .
In fact, according to Celebrity Net Worth, he has about $12 million to his name. This number makes a lot of sense, as the writer has written six singles that have topped the charts, and all of his solo albums have reached number one themselves, with "Traveller" being certified quadruple platinum (according to Universal Music Group).
Stapleton doesn't seem to be shy about spending his money, using his considerable fortune to buy himself a large piece of land in Tennessee. In 2017, Tennessee was reported to have purchased 311 acres of land in Williamson County. According to county records, Stapleton paid $5.625 million for land and a sprawling estate in Leipers Fork. The area is home to many other wealthy people in the music industry, including Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, and Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, so Stapleton keeps an impressive (and wealthy) company. Notably, one of his fellow pop musicians, Justin Timberlake, also bought land (126.
63 acres to be exact) in the same area, so they are neighbors as well as musical colleagues.

Chris Stapleton has been a huge success as a singer-songwriter, and he also seems to use his celebrity for good. He and his wife, Morgan Stapleton, founded Outlaw State of Kind in 2016, "a charitable foundation that supports a variety of causes close to their hearts," according to Chris Stapleton. Official site . Outlaw State of Kind has provided grants to a significant number of organizations, including various Habitat for Humanity organizations, Special Olympics, animal welfare groups, and Indigenous women's groups, to name a few. The charity also pays special attention to educational and musical initiatives.
Stapleton himself, on behalf of his organization, also participates in activities that will help serve a variety of initiatives.
For example, he only joined Cameo for one week for the sole purpose of donating all proceeds to the Outlaw State of Kind. He covered Metallica's 'Nothing Else Matters' and the proceeds from the performance benefited both the Stapletons charity and the Metallica All Within My Hands foundation.
And in 2019, he formed a foundation that will directly benefit Kentucky, with a focus on arts and music education, and hosted a benefit concert with Sheryl Crow, Yola, and Willie Nelson to raise money for him. Philanthropy is definitely in Stapleton's focus, along with his music.
Chris Stapleton made a cameo in Game of Thrones
One fact about Chris Stapleton that might surprise some of his fans is that he made a cameo in the final season of Game of Thrones ". Rolling Stone described Stapleton as a "big fan" of the HBO epic. The star "reached out to his management" to see if he could play a "secondary role" on the show.
Having musicians on Game of Thrones wasn't unheard of before Stapleton's arrival, as Ed Sheeran, Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Ros, and metal band Mastodon had previously made brief appearances on the show.
Stapleton (along with his bassist J.T. Cure and their tour manager) all received cameos in the season 8 episode "The Long Night". A little reminder: The Long Night shows Winterfell, the home of the Starks, under attack by the evil Night King, who can bring dead corpses to life - which is exactly what happens to Stapleton's character. Stapleton originally portrayed the wildlings of a group of people who led a nomadic lifestyle north of the Wall. However, his character dies and the Night King reanimates his character's body into that of a White Walker, the Night King's zombie-like minion. "They knew we weren't actors," Stapleton recalled to Rolling Stone magazine. "So the instruction was basically, 'We're going to accommodate you, and when we tell you, open your eyes.
' And they taught us how White Walkers should get up and move when they first wake up."

Although Chris Stapleton is known for his unique voice and amazing songwriting skills, he is also highly recognizable for one of his iconic features, his beard. According to Rolling Stone, fans clung to Stapleton's facial hair, sometimes literally. "If they like something, that's great," Stapleton told the publication. “If they are attached to the beard, it is normal. I had this beard for a very, very long time, and you know, it's always fun. Being related is good. I've had a few fans pulling it too hard and stuff like that. But other than that, I had fun with him. Seeing people putting on fake beards or painting them... is always interesting.
In fact, Stapleton so embraced his fans' love for his beard that he even ran contests around its existence. In order for them to win free tickets to one of his shows, Stapleton asked fans to submit photos of their beards (or the beards of people they know).
