ABOUT BLAKE WHITEN
Blake Whiten often finds inspiration from his upbringing. Born in Six Mile, South Carolina, where the population hovers below 800 people, the 21-year-old singer-songwriter writes what he knows. His passion for Country music is evident throughout his descriptive storytelling and the Country cover songs he’s shared online. Many of those videos have since gone viral. After his June 2024 cover of Morgan Wallen’s “I Guess” amassed nine million views on TikTok, managers, record labels, and publishers came calling. Within 24 hours, he was on a flight to Music City.
A 2024 cut with Bailey Zimmerman (“Holding On”) also put him on the map as a songwriter. All the while, Whiten’s solo writes continued to pick up steam. His poignant debut single “Breakin’ My Heart” and massive follow-up, “Rollin’ Stone” (31 million+ cumulative streams since its October 2024 release), highlight his prowess as a songwriter. Both tracks, penned alone, are featured on his independently released 2025 debut EP, Six Mile.
