After years of farming in Washburn, ND along the rural banks of the Missouri River, Warner Chappell Music singer-songwriter Schmitty blends his wild child spirit with the down-home morals and values that shaped him in his debut EP, Office With A View.

Inspired early on by stories of his paternal grandpa's Hall of Fame barbershop quartet, The Schmitt Brothers, he was taught his first guitar chords at 13 by a bluegrass-picking neighbor, he recalls: "That's where the bug bit me." Leaving behind his tractor seat as a third-generation grain farmer to chase his dream in Nashville, Schmitty draws from the influences his family instilled - The Eagles and The Allman Brothers - while shaping his own jam-band storyteller aura. His sound is fueled by the heart of country music’s greats - Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt, George Jones, Eric Church, Cody Johnson, Riley Green - and modern songwriting inspirations like Erik Dylan, HARDY, and Dean Dillon.

Heartfelt lyrics and candid honesty have elevated his social media presence, with one YouTube share sparking over 1.7 million views - affirming his belief that God truly put him on this earth to create music. Pulling from his own story - the highs, lows, and lessons learned - he writes with a grounded authenticity that connects heart to heart with listeners. After signing his publishing deal in summer 2024, Schmitty began gearing up for his debut EP, Office With A View, out now, accompanied by his first Nashville full band show at American Legion.

With previously released songs like "Cadillac," "This Side of the Porchlight," and title track "Office With A View", Schmitty keeps one foot planted firmly in the dirt that raised him while building a foundation for what's ahead. With new music on the horizon and a growing calendar of shows, Schmitty is positioned for a breakout year. Read more on Last.fm.
