From the small-town dreams to the big city life, Mason Ramsey knows what it’s like to be ‘Famous’ after debuting his new single.

Just as Ramsey has experienced in his quick rise to stardom, he sings about the drastic changes ahead in his lifestyle and how to prepare for the spotlight in an appreciative way. Looking upon the entire experience as a learning process, the boy seems optimistic about what lies ahead for his future.

“I’d been to Nashville a few times before, but never thought something like this would happen. It’s a dream to sign with Atlantic and Big Loud. I loved recording ‘Famous’ and can’t wait for everyone to hear it,” Ramsey said of his debut.

Ramsey made his break when someone filmed his spontaneous yodeling performances in an Illinois Walmart and shared the video to social media. The viral sensation blew up practically overnight, with Ramsey receiving invitations to perform at Coachella and visit the Ellen show for an interview.

The 11-year-old even accomplished his lifelong dream to walk onto the Grand Ole Opry stage when the iconic venue allowed him to play a song when he visited Nashville recently. It prompted a record deal offer from the partnership between Atlantic Records and Big Loud, in which Ramsey signed on to the team.

“Famous” is available everywhere now.
