Russell Sutton was born and raised in Austin, Tx. He grew up around the country music scene with his dad playing guitar and tour managing for Austin native Rick Trevino. After graduating from Texas A&M and spending 6 years working at Dell Computers, he cashed in all of his chips in 2014 and moved to Nashville to pursue his songwriting dream after a weekend at the Austin Songwriters Group Symposium. In 2018, Russell signed his first publishing deal, and spent the year touring the country as a part of the duo Grassroots Revival, sharing the stage with the likes of Toby Keith, Lady Antebellum, Billy Currington, Brothers Osborne, Cole Swindell, Walker Hayes, and others.  As a songwriter, 2021 brought his first #1 single “My Boy” by Elvie Shane as well as a joint venture publishing deal with Sony Music Publishing and Droptine Publishing. In 2022, Russell landed a 2 week #1 hit with Nate Smith’s “Whiskey on You”, as well as cuts by Warren Zeiders, Drew Green, Dalton Dover, Erin Kinsey and more. This year, he has already landed 2 newly released songs by Chris Young - “Knee Deep in Neon” and Nate Smith - “Rather Be Lonely”. He resides in Nashville, TN with his wife, Melissa, daughter Phoebe, and their dog Bubs.
