I was born in the UK and spend much of my time now in Nashville, Tn. Rightly named as Music City, Nashville is home to some of the greatest musical talent in the world. I wanted to be there to soak up the history of this amazing place and write songs that I hoped would be milestones in my musical journey.
A few years ago, after failing to get any cuts, I discovered a great company called Loggins Promotions and decided to release some of my songs, promoted by Loggins.
Things started to change for me right away. I’ve been nominated 3 years in a row by New Music Magazine for awards. Last year, 2023, I won AC Breakthrough Artist Award and this year 2024, I have been nominated for 4 different awards.
As a writer, I believe that your best work is always ahead of you, and that if you strive to make yourself, the best writer you can be, then you have succeeded. Don’t let your song out until you have given it everything. Regardless of what happens in the future, if you create and get your stuff out there to the best of your ability, you have done it. Got there. What fate has in plans for us and our creations, we don’t know. But, hey! It’s a hell of a ride!

Chris Chitsey is a multihyphenate, award-winning, singer, musician, entertainer, actor, producer, director, entrepreneur & philanthropist. A proud native Texan, Chitsey is the only country artist today that has charted #1 Worldwide Studio Singles across four different decades. Fresh off a career-defining milestone, his 10th #1 single in February of 2025, he now returns with “Where Ya Been Girl,” a soul-stirring anthem about timing, destiny & connection.
Written by hitmaking heavyweights Rhett Akins & Ben Hayslip, two-thirds of the legendary The Peach Pickers, “Where Ya Been Girl” marks what is widely considered Chitsey’s strongest single to date. With a songwriting pedigree that includes more than 50 #1 hits and countless CMA, ACM, BMI, and ASCAP honors, Akins and Hayslip have helped define modern country music and shape the careers of some of the genre’s biggest stars.
Produced by acclaimed Nashville hitmaker D. Scott Miller, “Where Ya Been Girl” blends polished, contemporary country production with timeless storytelling. While The Peach Pickers are known for anthems built for Friday nights and back-road soundtracks, this release turns inward, capturing the rare, lightning-strike moment when two people connect instantly and unmistakably.
Rooted in the Texas honky-tonk circuit, Chitsey’s journey began on the stage of his family’s Bar-B-Q restaurant and entertainment venue in Austin, Texas. Raised on the music of George Strait, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley, Charley Pride, and Mel Tillis, his path toward country music stardom took shape early. While still in college at Southwest Texas State University, Chitsey inked his first record deal, releasing a self-titled debut album that produced three #1 singles and spent 18 weeks on the CMT and GAC Top 10 Countdown Shows, all while completing both his undergraduate and master’s degrees.
In recent years, Chitsey has experienced a remarkable resurgence. Since signing an eight-single deal with Clinetel Nashville in 2023, he has delivered a string of global No. 1 hits, including “Last Time I Saw You,” “Life Is Hard, Whiskey Is Easy,” “Every Small Town” and 2025’s chart-topper “Chasing Taillights.” His music has also crossed into film and television, with “Every Small Town” serving as the theme song for the streaming TV reality series Only in Iola, where Chitsey appears across multiple seasons.
Beyond the studio and stage, Chitsey’s partnerships reflect his authentic connection to craftsmanship, heritage, and lifestyle brands, including Jack Daniel’s Whiskey, Deep Eddy Vodka, Chuck Norris’s CForce Premium Artesian Water, LiveFit Apparel, Neven Eyewear, American Hat Makers, Molly’s Custom Silver, TEXITCoin, Clinetel Nashville Records, and SONY/Orchard.
Celebrated for his expressive storytelling, commanding live performances, and genuine connection with fans, Chris Chitsey continues to bridge the gap between classic and modern country music. With “Where Ya Been Girl,” he delivers a timeless anthem about timing, destiny, and connectionone that feels destined to soundtrack countless Friday nights in 2026 and beyond.
“Where Ya Been Girl” is available NOW on all global streaming/digital platforms. For more information & updates, follow ChrisChitseyMusic.com.

Saint and Sinner Records, is proud to announce the release of the fourth single from his latest album “I Should Have Known Better”. The new single is titled “When The Ring Comes Back”. Dennis has teamed up again with H2 Productions for this project. “When The Ring Comes Back” is the latest single from stone cold country singer Dennis Ledbetter, written by Dennis Ledbetter and TW Hale. “When The Ring Comes Back” is a heartbreak ballad. Grab a beer to cry in.
“When the Ring Comes Back” is a reality song. Shortly after a devastating break up a UPS truck pulls up with a small package expressing a huge message. “UPS had found a way to tell me you don’t love me anymore”. An engagement ring was inside. Sometimes a song like this gives you the opportunity to purge the pain out of your heart and soul.

The single was released to radio January 30, 2026 and is available for sale in all digital formats including CD Baby, Amazon, iTunes, & Google Play.
