CAREER

2002-2005: Career beginnings

In 2002, Houser relocated to Nashville, Tennessee in order to pursue a music career. He began as a songwriter for other artists, with one of his first hits being Trace Adkins’ "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk", which he co-wrote with Jamey Johnson and Dallas Davidson. The song became a top-five hit, leading him to begin performing as an artist in his own right. He had a short-lived contract with MCA Nashville, but he did not release anything on the label.

2008-2009: Anything Goes

In 2008, Houser signed to Universal South Records, releasing his debut single, "Anything Goes", in May of that year. The song peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. He released his debut album of the same name that November, reaching number one on the Heatseekers Album chart and number 21 on the Top Country Albums chart. The album’s second single, "Boots On", was released in February 2009 and peaked at number two on the Hot Country Songs chart, becoming his first top 10 hit. "Back That Thing Up", a song he co-wrote, was Justin Moore’s debut single, peaking at number 38 on the Hot Country Songs chart.
