Something new that I thought would be cool to do is a spotlight on an upcoming or not too well-known music artist. I thought this because what better way to get a name out there then an article online. This week, I decided to pick Country music artist, Mitch Goudy.
Mitch Goudy is 20 years old and was born and raised in Southeast Iowa. He's not just a singer; he's also a songwriter, musician, and producer. He is truly a man of many talents. Mitch's interest in country music started after suffering a traumatic knee injury which limited his ability to play sports forever. Goudy's dad bought him his first guitar. From that moment on he knew his passion.
Goudy writes, records, and sings all his own music. He frequently works with Diana Upton-Hill. They are label mates so they write, sign background vocals, and tour together. They are both signed to Third Floor Records owned by Justin Hill. Justin also writes and produces. He released his first single in 2013 called, "Blow These Speakers Out". He released his 2nd single "Ain't My Fault" in 2014, and most recently his 3rd single "My Girl's Hand". Goudy has created a new type of country music called Hybrid Country. Hybrid Country for Mitch is a mix of country, pop, rock, and EDM. His sound is unique and one of a kind. Goudy has recently released his first music video for "Ain't My Fault" in 2014. Take a look by clicking here.
Mitch's most recent awards include CMA's Who New To Watch in 2014 and Digital Journal's Top Ten Male Country Artists to Watch.He endorses Strut Apparel and Stay Outdoors. He is currently in the studio working on writing and recording new music as well as playing shows across the midwest.
Mitch is very into connecting with fans. Whether it's on social media or in person. One big thing he does is weekly video chats with fans through his fan club site called Goudy's Rowdies. Through this site you can watch the weekly video chats, do weekly challenges called Dirty Deeds, cash in your stars for merchandise, and keep up with Mitch on all his social media! So you're probably wondering what Dirty Deeds and stars are. Well, Dirty Deeds are the weekly challenges which are usually just tweeting out thank yous to radio DJ's or tweeting DJ's and radio stations to play his new single. For doing these deeds and posting pictures of you and Mitch on the fan site you can earn stars. You can also earn stars by inviting your friends to join the site as well! With these stars you can cash them out for a code to use in his Merch store online. Every 1000 stars equals a dollar in his store.
