Few artists in country music wear their story on their sleeve quite like Jason Michael Carroll. From heartfelt Billboard hits like “Alyssa Lies” and “Livin’ Our Love Song” to his upcoming album Anthem, Carroll’s career has always been defined by honesty, heart, and staying true to his roots. Born in Houston, Texas, and raised in Youngsville, North Carolina, Carroll grew up in a strict household that limited his exposure to secular music. After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, he began performing in local bands—eventually catching the attention of Nashville scouts after winning a 2004 talent competition. His 2007 debut album Waitin’ in the Country—produced by Don Gehman—debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and No. 8 on the Billboard 200, marking the strongest debut by a new male country artist since Billy Ray Cyrus. With over a billion career streams and a string of hits including “Alyssa Lies” (#5), “Livin’ Our Love Song” (#6), “I Can Sleep When I’m Dead” (#21), and “Where I’m From” (#11), Carroll’s music continues to resonate deeply with fans. Now, nearly two decades into his career, he’s entering one of the most exciting chapters yet with the release of his highly anticipated new album Anthem, coming in early 2026. The project blends classic country, honky tonk grit, gospel heart, Southern rock swagger, and even hip-hop influences into a bold, deeply personal reflection on redemption, family, and the music that raised him. As Jason puts it: “Everything I do is focused on the fans who never once slowed up. Every song, every show, and every new chapter I dedicate to them.” With Anthem, Jason Michael Carroll proves once again why Nashville hails him as a triple threat—singer, songwriter, and entertainer—and one of the most grounded, genuine voices in modern country music.
