Today’s spotlight artist may be one of country music’s newest rising stars, but his journey started long before he ever stepped on stage. Tyce Delk is a hardworking, creative at heart. Keep reading to learn more about his story.

Growing up in east-central New Mexico, Delk was surrounded by both music and agriculture. A fourth-generation musician on his dad’s side and a fourth-generation farmer and rancher on both sides of his family, music was simply a part of everyday life. “Music has always been around and kind of been integrated into our family,” Delk shared. Still, music wasn’t always the plan.

Long before releasing music, the singer-songwriter was already writing songs. While working on the family ranch in high school, he kept lyrics in the same notebook where he logged his work hours, often finding inspiration while building fences, driving tractors, or simply observing the world around him.

He also collected a vast and wide ranger of musical influences. Growing up, his family listened to traditional country, western swing, and worship music, while artists like Vince Gill helped shape his melodic style. Outside of country music, he also found inspiration from artists like Maroon 5 and Bruno Mars, influences that still find their way into his music today.

After graduating high school, Delk went on to play college basketball before taking a job with an engineering firm. Looking for something to fill his free time after basketball ended, he went home, borrowed one of his dad’s guitars, and started teaching himself to play. The first song he learned on guitar was a Kolby Cooper song.

“It just kind of started going up from there,” he recalled. Although music had always been in the back of his mind, Delk admitted he never truly believed it could become his career. “It was always a thing that would be pretty fun to do,” he shared. “It was never anything that I thought for sure could happen.”

The Turning Point:

While songwriting and acoustic gigs slowly became a bigger part of his life, everything changed after Delk recorded a song called “Adeline.”

At first, though, no one heard it. “I cut ‘Adeline’ at the studio and then I sat on it for a year just because I was so unsure about it,” he shared. Eventually, he decided to take a chance on himself and release the song. It quickly became a viral hit on social media. “It just kind of did its thing,” shared the singer, adding, “We kind of had to decide right away if it’s just something that we wanted to do.”

Delk deciced to trade his pickup truck for a touring van, hanging up one career in favor of hitting the road. “It’s been a whirlwind for sure,” he admitted. “It’s definitely keeping me busy, but I like staying busy, and I like having to chase something.”

Now working alongside the team at River House Artists, Delk says he couldn’t be more grateful for where the journey has taken him. “Life is good,” he shared. “It’s a blessing, and I’m thankful to be where I’m at with the team and where I’m at in my career. I couldn’t think of a better spot to be.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, and Delk is continuing to build a catalog that reflects every side of who he is as an artist.

His latest project called Everything But Gone was intentionally crafted to showcase a variety of sounds and stories, from stripped-down back porch songs to soulful ballads and honky-tonk anthems. “I’ve always said that I want my catalog to touch all the bases,” Delk shared. Among his personal favorites from the project are the title track, “Everything But Gone,” and “Mind I Smoke.”

Most recently, Delk released “Would Have Been It,” a song inspired by something a friend said after going through a breakup. “He was like, ‘Man, if it was a perfect world, this would’ve been it,'” Delk recalled. The phrase stuck with him, eventually becoming the foundation for one of his newest songs.

The singer-songwriter also recently joined forces with fellow singer-songwriter, Ashland Craft. “My manger texted me and was like, ‘Hey, would you be open to doing a song with Ashland?’ At the time I didn’t know much about [her],” he shared, adding, “When I started kind of listening to her music, I was like, ‘Yeah, this would be awesome.”

“Doesn’t Have To Be That Way” was quickly born.  “The song that we did together, I don’t think it could’ve been more perfect, and that song just turned out way, way better than I could have imagined. I was super, super thankful for that,” shared Delk.

Looking ahead, fans can expect plenty more music and even more time on the road. With shows booked nearly every weekend and new songs already lined up for release, Delk says he’s especially excited about what’s coming next.

“We’re definitely staying on the road, staying busy,” he shared. “I’m really, really excited for these next two songs.” Stay tuned!
