His early journey includes the release of his debut EP, "The Way She Rides," in 2014, paving the way for a successful career in country music.

Combs' first single, "Hurricane," sold 15,000 copies in its first week, and debuted at No. 46 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. After being re-released under Sony Music Nashville, the song reached No. 1 on the Country Radio airplay charts on May 15, 2017, holding that spot for 2 weeks. His debut album, "This One's for You," hit number four on the Billboard 200 and spent 44 weeks at No. 1, setting a new record. Combs continued his career with the release of his second album, "What You See Is What You Get," which topped the charts in multiple territories and produced several number-one singles on the country chart, shattering streaming records.
