Early life and The Voice
Jannakos was born and raised in Flowery Branch, Georgia, where he grew up in a musical family. He cites Brad Paisley, Shania Twain, Chris Stapleton and Clay Walker as his earliest influences. After graduating from high school, he worked as a sauté chef and waiter for several years while pursuing music on the side, uploading performance videos to YouTube and Facebook.[4]
After seeing one of Jannakos' performance videos online, a recruiter for NBC's The Voice invited him for a private audition in Atlanta. Jannakos debuted on Episode 6 during the show's blind auditions, after which he joined Team Adam Levine before being eliminated in the battle rounds.[5]

Following his run on The Voice, Jannakos began writing and recording material for his debut project. In October 2019, he independently released "Living On Love," following it with "Southern Skies" in March 2020. Jannakos dropped his eponymous debut EP one month later.[6]

The video went viral overnight, racking up 250,000 likes and earning Jannakos 125,000 followers by the next morning. Jannakos officially released the song in September and began fielding record deal offers. On November 10, 2020, Sony Music Nashville announced that Jannakos had signed a recording deal with its RCA Nashville imprint.[1]
Meanwhile, "Gone Too Soon" hit No. 1 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart, No. 2 on the Digital Song Sales chart, No. 12 on the Hot Country Songs chart, and the song helped Jannakos debut at No. 1 on Billboard's Emerging Artist chart.[3] "Gone Too Soon" impacted country radio on February 1, 2021 and landed within Billboard's Hot 100 chart.[citation needed] A month later, Jannakos released "Wine Country" as his major label debut.[citation needed]
