Josh Turner burst onto the country music scene in 2003 with the platinum-selling “Long Black Train,” which spent more than 40 weeks on the Billboard country charts. In 2006, the country singer had his first breakout radio hit with “Your Man,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. To date, the popular country singer has sold almost 12 million songs, had a slew of top 10 hits, been inducted into the Grand Ole Opry and won his first GMA Dove Award in 2021.

Born and raised in South Carolina, Josh Turner released his “Greatest Hits” collection in Sept. 2023.

To support music and arts education, he created The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund to help students pursue their studies in these fields.
