Early life

Kyle Park was born in July 1985[2] in Austin, Texas, and was raised in Leander, a small country town[3] north of Austin, where he[4][5] attended Leander High School.[2][6] He listened to country and rock radio in particular, and eventually began focusing on artists such as[6] Clint Black and Chris LeDoux.[3][4]

He has celebrated numerous #1 Texas radio singles from his self-released seven studio albums.[9][10][11] Since 2005, he has performed thousands of shows across North America and Europe, often headlining those events, as well as opening for artists such as George Strait, Clint Black, Willie Nelson, and more. As of 2024, he has independently released: Big Time (2005), Anywhere in Texas (2008), Make Or Break Me (2011), Beggin’ For More (2013), The Blue Roof Sessions (2015), Don’t Forget Where You Come From (2018), and All Nighters (2024).[12]
