Few people have come from modest origins to make a lasting impression on the world like Cody Johnson. Born in the little Texas town of Sebastopol, his path from rodeo arenas to country music glory is just remarkable. Growing up in a household that appreciated diligence, Cody's father, Carl Johnson, instilled in him an unrelenting drive that would see him through the worst of life's events. His time in the rodeo gave him tenacity and determination-qualities that would define his forceful songs and performances-while his heart pounded for music. His success in the Texas country scene was not given to him; rather, it was acquired after years of commitment, tiny venue performance, and self-made CD release that developed a devoted fanbase. When *Gotta Be Me* went on the radio, it was a message more than just an album. Cody's songs connected with his audience, demonstrating that mainstream success still welcomes authenticity. Keep reading to uncover Cody's journey's core and the motivation that molded his route. His journey reminds us that everything is achievable with persistence and sincerity.
