About Malachi Gagnon
Built on hope, heartbreak, and his hometown, rising country-pop sensation Malachi Gagnon went from family talent shows during COVID to viral sensation when he was only fourteen. The small-town New Hampshire native found himself skyrocketing to new heights after posting a video of himself online. Gagnon’s opportunistic mindset has transformed virality into a successful music career, and the now seventeen-year-old holds over five million streams on Spotify alone.
“I think being able to make music and do what I love is just an amazing opportunity,” Malachi said. “Music and writing are just who I am.”
Over the past two years, Gagnon has found himself in rooms with some of Nashville’s best songwriters, such as David Ray Stevens (Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson). Gagnon’s powerful, introspective lyrics reminiscent of classic country storytelling paired with his “dynamic voice” (HollywoodLife) create a version of singer-songwriter that transcends genre. Influenced by the likes of Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan, Brooks & Dunn, and Garth Brooks, Malachi Gagnon is determined to make country music that appeals to fans of other genres. Nothing makes him happier than meeting someone who claims not to enjoy country music and being able to play them a song of his and watch as they change their minds.
