Drake White has been named 2017 Grammy Artist of Tomorrow from daily votes at CBS.com. Nominated by Zac Brown Band, White will be featured in Grammy Live—a live stream broadcast online across CBS.com, grammy.com and platforms through the CBS App—leading into the 59th Annual Grammy Awards telecast on Sunday, Feb. 12.

“I am beyond honored to say that I am the Grammy Artist of Tomorrow,” shared White. “A very big thank you to Zac Brown Band and the opportunities they have afforded us both on and off the road. This is a dream.”

This week, White gathered a select group of fans for an intimate performance at AURORA Studios in Nashville. The live-streamed event offered a nationwide online preview to White’s exhilarating live homecoming shows April 12 and 13 at Nashville’s Exit/In.

GSM CEO, Tim Gray commented, “Maintaining company culture while balancing the level of growth the agency’s experiencing while has been imperative. Over the last six months we’ve meticulously recruited talent, not just searching for good employees, but extraordinary individuals of all experience levels that can contribute day one. I feel we’ve found that in these two young professionals.”
