Artist. Texan. Country Music & The Outdoors.
Drake Milligan burst onto the national stage entering Billboard’s Emerging Artists Chart at #5 after dominating iTunes with his debut album Dallas/Fort Worth. The project delivered back-to-back iTunes #1 Country songs, #1 on the All-Genre Chart, #1 on Country Albums and four of the Top 5 Country Video slots. In the UK, the album spent 11 weeks in the Top 20 of the Official Country Artists Albums Chart. A student of classic Country with the swagger of early Rock ‘n’ Roll, the Fort Worth native cites George Strait and Elvis Presley as heroes, and his modern take on tradition has been embraced by fans, peers and media. Milligan has performed on The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Grand Ole Opry, Stagecoach and CMA Fest, earning praise from People, Billboard, USA Today, American Songwriter, CMT.com, Entertainment Tonight, Cosmopolitan and more. Named one of Billboard’s “Best Country Albums of 2022,” Dallas/Fort Worth was followed by a Canadian Country #1 (“Honky Tonkin’ About” with The Reklaws), viral holiday hit “Cowgirl For Christmas” and the 2024 EP Jukebox Songs featuring “I Got A Problem,” a #1 in Australia. Recognized as an “Artist to Watch” (CMT, Pandora, etc.), Milligan returned to primetime for America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League and toured arenas with Cody Johnson. With over 230M streams worldwide, he’s spent 2025 headlining and opening for Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton. Milligan is preparing for his next chapter with new single “Tumbleweed,” out September 19.
