Shawn Randolph Houser was born 18 December 1975 in Lake, Mississippi and took after his father, who was a working musician. In high school, Houser fronted a band called 10lb Biscuit, but in 2002 he moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a songwriting career. His first successful song was a co-write with Jamey Johnson and Dallas Davidson for a Trace Adkins recorded song entitled “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.” The success of the song helped him shift his focus to doing his own performing in local venues around Nashville.

In 2008 Houser signed with Universal South Records and quickly released his first single, “Anything Goes,” in May that same year. The song achieved charting success, making it within the Top 40 of the Billboard Country Chart within the month of its release. The debut album of the same title, debuted the following November. At the 2009 CMA awards, he received two nominations: New Artist of the Year and Music Video of the Year for “Boots On.” He followed the success of “Anything Goes” with his sophomore album, “They Call Me Cadillac” released in 2009.

In 2011 Houser signed with Broken Bow Records’ Stoney Creek Division and released his third studio album, “How Country Feels” in 2012. The album was a big success, and the third single off the album, “Like A Cowboy” was released for 2014.
