Atlus
Raised in a single‑parent home marked by poverty and addiction, Atlus grew up fast, developing the resilience and honesty that define his storytelling. Named after the Titan who held up the heavens, he wrote his first two albums while working long hours as a commercial truck driver, using endless highway miles to shape lyrics and melodies while supporting his family and funding studio time.
That life on the road helped build an underground following and led to breakout moments, including performing with Jelly Roll at a sold‑out Red Rocks Amphitheatre, earning a Top 5 album on Spotify’s Global Album Chart, and achieving a Platinum single. Blending candid, often dark themes with a genre‑bending sound, Atlus creates immersive music rooted in real connection. With over a billion on‑demand streams, his career continues to be defined by grit, community, and honest storytelling.
He is performing at Country Rising Festival 2026 on the following dates:
- May 29 – Milwaukee
- August 7 – Colorado Springs
