Hudson Westbrook

Hudson Brown Westbrook (born May 21, 2004)^[1] is an American country singer-songwriter based in Lubbock, Texas. He is known for his country music accomplishments at such a young age, having gone viral on social media.

Although currently living in Lubbock, he was born and raised on a cattle farm in Stephenville, Texas. He attended college at Texas Tech University, where he worked at a feed store and pursued a major that would prepare him for a career as a landman.^[2] He began singing as a freshman in high school, just for fun, to his mom and friends. However, he never thought he was good enough to make a career out of it.^[3]

His music career took off after his debut single "Take It Slow" went viral on TikTok, garnering millions of views, compelling him to drop out of Texas Tech to pursue music full-time. When it blew up, he decided it was time to start chasing his real dream, immediately buying a bus to begin touring and writing an album.^[2] He broke the news of dropping out to his mom on stage during one of his performances. His parents were skeptical at first, but quickly hopped on board after realizing he has a real talent that can take him far.^[3] Since then, he has released notable tracks such as, "Two Way Drive", the follow-up to "Take It Slow", and "House Again", a ballad inspired by his parents' divorce, which became his first charting single on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 47. His debut album, Texas Forever,^[4] was released on July 25, 2025, featuring 17 songs with a country-rock sound. The album includes the tracks "Funny Seeing You Here," "Momma Raised a Winner," and "Lie to Me" featuring Mackenzie Carpenter,^[5] and debuted at number 59 on the US Billboard 200. The original idea was to remain loyal to Texas, but now he is touring elsewhere.
