Episode Description:

On this episode of The Music Row Podcast with Leake, host Jeff Leake sits down with platinum-recording artist Atlus for a raw and inspiring conversation about his journey from the trailer park to the top of the country charts.

Fresh off the release of his highly anticipated label debut album Art of Letting Go (BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville), Atlus opens up about the making of the 15-track project, the personal stories behind heartbreak anthems like “Devil Ain’t Done,” “Secondhand Smoke,” and the title track. He also reflects on the surreal moment of playing Red Rocks Amphitheatre, getting slid into the DMs by Jelly Roll (who quickly became a mentor), and signing with Broken Bow Records.

From driving semi-trucks in Colorado to going viral with unfiltered truth-telling songs, Atlus shares the highs, lows, and lessons in the Art of Letting Go. This is one of the most honest and motivational episodes yet — don’t miss it.
