Russell Dickerson is an American country music singer-songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee.[2] He earned a degree in music from Belmont University and signed with Creative Artists Agency in 2010.[2] In 2011, he released an extended play, Die to Live Again, and opened for David Nail.[3] He toured with Canaan Smith in 2015.[4]

In 2015, he released the single "Yours".[5] The song has sold 105,000 copies as of August 15 2016.[6] It became the title track to his second extended play, released on January 18, 2016 by Dent Records.[7] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the EP three stars out of five, writing that "Dickerson emphasizes hooks and sweetness […] and while his inclinations can be corny […], that shamelessness is often charming because it's paired to sharp songcraft." The EP debuted at number 14 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart,[8] selling 2,700 copies in its first week of release.[9] He made his Grand Ole Opry debut on 3rd June 2016.

Dickerson will tour with Billy Currington in 2016 and is working on his next studio release.[5]
