About Russell Dickerson

Multi-Platinum chart-topper and Triple Tigers entertainer Russell Dickerson is no stranger to the grind. The country headliner first broke through by wearing his heart on his sleeve, launching a string of five deeply romantic No. 1 hits—“Yours” (3X Platinum), “Blue Tacoma” (2X Platinum), “Love You Like I Used To” (2X Platinum), “Every Little Thing” (Platinum), and “God Gave Me a Girl.” He followed that success with the slinky, soul-infused “She Likes It” (with Jake Scott) (2X Platinum), further showcasing his genre-blending style. Often inspired by his happy home life, they powered a rise which now includes 3 Billion career streams, industry-wide accolades and a solid reputation for lyrical brilliance, rooted in feel-good reflection and paired a good-natured grin. But what fans of his singles couldn’t always see was Dickerson’s fiery, sold-out tour showmanship. That changes with his highly anticipated fourth studio album, FAMOUS BACK HOME. Blending the tender family man with the wild-eyed performer from his SOLD-OUT RUSSELLMANIA TOUR 2025, the project marks a new era of confidence and creative range. Leading with the dance-floor-ready single “Happen to Me,” a seize-the-moment rocker full of sonic swagger, landed on the Billboard Hot 100 and scored his biggest streaming debut week yet. FAMOUS BACK HOME delivers a bold blend of country-soul, ‘80s rock, and modern pop—pushing sonic boundaries while keeping Dickerson’s signature heart-on-sleeve sincerity. It’s his most personal and dynamic project yet. For more, visit RussellDickerson.com.
