Nashville-based artist Caleb Hearn crafts indie folk-pop that reflects both personal evolution and the courage to move forward. Blending bright, uplifting melodies with unguarded lyricism, his music resonates like a cinematic snapshot of growth, vulnerability, and hope. Since debuting in 2019, the Mount Airy, North Carolina native has built a devoted audience drawn to his open-hearted storytelling, amassing nearly 1 billion global streams (driven by his 2024 viral hit “Little Bit Better” with ROSIE).

In September 2024, Hearn released his debut album Left on McKinney and received praise from outlets such as Atwood Magazine, EUPHORIA., Sweety High, and garnered Spotify editorial support with New Music Friday, Pop Rising, New Pop Picks, Fresh & Chill, Folk Pop, Chill Pop, and more.

Hearn’s sophomore album, LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND, out February 20, 2026 via Nettwerk, is a 13-track coming-of-age album capturing Hearn’s evolution at 25—a moment defined by growth, clarity, and learning to release the past. Written over the past year during a retreat in Gatlinburg, TN with co-producers Colin Foote & Alex Borel (Dean Lewis, Matt Hansen) and Ruslan Odnoralov (The Chainsmokers, Charlotte Sands), and completed through sessions in Nashville and Los Angeles, the album marks his most vulnerable and sonically adventurous work yet, incorporating organic textures and vintage tape recordings.
