After a buzzworthy performance at CMA Fest 2025 in Nashville, Coffman continues to demonstrate his staying power with music rooted in authenticity and connection.

In the past couple of years, Hayden's been featured on the covers of Spotify’s “Fresh Finds Country” and “Next From Nashville” playlists, as well as Amazon’s “Breakthrough Country” and TIDAL’s “Country Rising” playlists. In 2023, he was one of the fastest-growing unsigned country artists in America, breaking into the Top 3 on Spotify and Top 5 on YouTube. He has racked up multiple Top 10 releases on the iTunes charts as an independent artist. Since the November 2022 release of his single “Where's The Whiskey” and recent collaborations with Chase Matthew (“Raised In The Holler”) and Trey Lewis (“Give A Country Boy A Call”), Hayden has amassed over 254 million total streams and 58 million YouTube views to date.
A native of Knoxville, Tennessee, Coffman has firmly established himself as one of country music’s most promising independent singer-songwriters. His catalog has earned significant attention from fans and industry alike, landing him on premier playlists, such as Billboard, CMA, CMT, and ACM, solidifying his reputation as a breakout artist.
Coffman will keep the momentum going with the release of his new single, “Fit for a King,” arriving this Friday, December 19. Pre-save the track HERE.
