Drake Milligan Bio
Drake Milligan, born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, is a multifaceted talent making waves in the Country Music scene and entertainment. With a voice that resonates with authenticity and depth, Milligan has captivated audiences with his soulful performances and magnetic presence.
From an early age, Milligan displayed a natural inclination towards music, drawing inspiration from country legends like George Strait, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, George Jones and Elvis. Armed with an appreciation for the history of country music, Drake Milligan moved to Nashville and immediately jumped into co-writes and recording sessions, where veteran songwriters taught him the art of storytelling, legendary producers taught him how to perfect his voice, seasoned musicians backed the new guy, and his country music heroes shared advice on how to bring his music to life on stage.
When it came time to craft his sound though, the country traditionalist turned to his roots: Texas. His debut album Dallas / Fort Worth via Stoney Creek Records, produced by award-winning music producer and industry icon Tony Brown (Brooks & Dunn, George Strait, Vince Gill) and songwriter/producer Brandon Hood, is stacked with songs all co- written by Milligan. Featuring 14 tracks, his double-barreled baritone vocals match electrifying honky-tonk hooks, Western swing two-steppers and country pop balladry. Milligan uncorks exuberant themes of trouble-making fun, young romance, life-sustaining love and more on the project.
With his debut, Milligan carved out a place for himself on the national scene. Securing No. 5 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart, his debut album was named “One of the Best Country Albums of 2022” by Billboard, Saving Country Music and Whiskey Riff, as it dominated iTunes, scoring him the #1 spot on iTunes Country Album Chart, All Genre Chart and Country Song Chart as well as the #1, #2 and #3 spots on the Video Chart. In an unprecedented move, CMT featured five of Milligan’s videos simultaneously on the network.
Milligan competed on NBC’s America’s Got Talent (AGT) during season 17 and became a fan-favorite and Top 3 finalist. He recently returned to primetime television to compete on AGT’s new spin-off show Fantasy League, before hitting the road with country superstar and fellow Texan Cody Johnson for his 2024 The Leather Tour.
Selling out venues across the nation including multiple sold-out shows at the legendary Billy Bob’s Texas in his hometown of Fort Worth, Milligan continues to conquer new milestones including making his Grand Ole Opry debut and Stagecoach Main Stage debut, being named an “Artist to Watch” by CMT and Pandora and earning a nomination at the 2023 CMT Awards for Breakthrough Male Video of the Year.
Never taking his boot off the pedal, the pure-country hitmaker’s Jukebox Songs EP – released on February 16 marking another bold chapter in Milligan’s book. Produced by fellow Texan and traditionally minded star, Trent Willmon (Cody Johnson), the EP once again highlighted Milligan’s smooth, booming baritone vocal, towering over four fresh tracks full of instant-classic intensity and diverse country soul...including the foot-tapper “I Got A Problem” and the delicate, rootsy arrangement of “Don’t Leave Me Loving You,” a timeless, classic-country style ballad, aching and built on a still-tender emotional wound.

His latest EP release titled, Jukebox Songs, features four all new tracks and was released on Friday, February 16. He will also return to his primetime TV roots for the America’s Got Talent spin-off show, Fantasy League, and hits the road alongside Cody Johnson on his 2024 U.S. arena tour.
