Drake Milligan, born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, is a multifaceted talent making waves in the Country Music scene and entertainment. With a voice that resonates with authenticity and depth, Milligan has captivated audiences with his soulful performances and magnetic presence.

From an early age, Milligan displayed a natural inclination towards music, drawing inspiration from country legends like George Strait, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, George Jones and Elvis. Armed with an appreciation for the history of country music, Drake Milligan moved to Nashville and immediately jumped into co-writes and recording sessions, where veteran songwriters taught him the art of storytelling, legendary producers taught him how to perfect his voice, seasoned musicians backed the new guy, and his country music heroes shared advice on ow to bring his music to life on stage.

When it came time to craft his sound though, the country traditionalist turned to his roots: Texas. His debut album Dallas / Fort Worth via Stoney Creek Records, produced by award-winning music producer and industry icon Tony Brown (Brooks & Dunn, George Straight, Vince Gill) and songwriter/producer Brandon Hood, is stacked with songs all co-written by Milligan. Featuring 14 tracks, his double-barreled baritone vocals match electrifying honky-tonk hooks, Western swing two-steppers and country pop balladry. Milligan uncorks exuberant themes of trouble-making fun, young romance, life-sustaining love and more on the project.
