Luke Combs Discusses Career Path

Luke Combs was in college before he picked up and guitar and taught himself to play and write songs.

Fast forward a handful of years and he’s already broken chart records, charted seven consecutive Number One hits — which is every single he’s released — and broken attendance records at venues all over the country.

While his career unfolded at a meteoric rate, Luke said he took baby steps to get where he is today, setting logical goals along the way.

“It was always following logical steps. It wasn’t like pick the guitar up and say, ‘I want to break this record and do that.’ It was like, ‘Okay, I want to be able to play this song on guitar,’ and then it was like, ‘I want to play this song on guitar.’ After a while it turns into, ‘I want to play a stadium instead of playing an arena,’ but they’re all steps that are achievable. It’s not write your first song and go, ‘I want to write a Number One.’ It’s like, ‘I want to write a better song than I did last time,’ and a better song and a better song, and it’s still that.”

Luke is on his way to his eighth chart-topper with “Does To Me” featuring Eric Church.
