Intentional Choices Lead to an Intentional Life with Russell Dickerson
Russell Dickerson
Russell Dickerson is a multi-platinum, Nashville-based, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. He has established himself as a prolific songwriter and a powerhouse showman through memorable, high-energy performances in songcraft with spiked spirit.
His gold-certified, full-length debut album, “Yours,” was number 5 on the Top Country Albums chart and number 1 on the Emerging Artist chart. Ultimately, it yielded 3 consecutive number 1 smashes and was christened as one of the hottest wedding songs of the year by The Knot. Nominations piled in from the Academy of Country Music Awards, CMT Music Awards, and iHeart Radio Music Awards.
In his 2020 highlights, Russell received an ACM nod in the category of Best New Male Artist of the Year. He has electrified audiences on tour with Thomas Rhett, Florida-Georgia Line, Darius Rucker, Lady A, and Kane Brown. In addition to headlining sold-out venues every year, Russell sustained a huge following on social media. He finally refers to his followers as the “RD Fam.” To give fans more insight into his life, Russell recently launched a new YouTube channel called, “This is Russ.”
In 2020, he released his second full-length album, “The Southern Symphony,” a long-awaited masterful compilation led by the platinum-certified number 1 single “Love You Like I Used To.” This song spent a record-breaking 21 weeks on Billboard Country’s Top 10.
Russell is a very humble, faith-based man. He claims that he’s just an everyday guy, a regular dude, and a rad dad.
