Description

Country artist and songwriter Clayton Mullen opens up about his newest project, Varsity Blues, and why it’s his most personal work yet. He talks about the inspiration behind the title track written by Ryan Hurd, the anthemic sound of “Blue,” and how his music has evolved since his debut album Where The Time Goes.

Clayton also reflects on his journey from being “West Coast-born, East Coast-raised” to attending TCU in Texas, signing a publishing deal in 2023, and chasing his dream in Nashville. He shares stories about opening for Sam Hunt, landing cuts with artists like Nate Smith and Austin Snell, and how social media helped songs like “Burnt Orange” connect with fans. Plus, he gives a glimpse of what’s next, from new music teases to bucket-list venues like Red Rocks.
