Verified identity details.
Shane Profitt is an American country singer-songwriter from Columbia, Tennessee, a small city in Maury County about an hour south of Nashville. He was born on January 17, 2000, and got his first guitar from his grandfather, teaching himself to play beginning in 2018.
Before music became his career, Profitt held a blue-collar day job working for the city of Columbia — including mowing roadside ditches — while traveling Tennessee for weekend gigs and playing local rooms like Puckett's. That working-class background is central to his identity and his songs, which lean on plainspoken, authentic small-town country.
His life changed in 2021 when country star Chris Janson discovered him. Janson recorded two of Profitt's songs, signed him to a deal, and brought him on tour. Profitt has since sold out the Ryman Auditorium, played the Grand Ole Opry, landed the top-15 breakout hit "How It Oughta Be," and signed with Triple Tigers Records in 2025. In 2026 he was named one of Taste of Country's RISERS: 2026 Artists to Watch.
