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.
