NASHVILLE, Tenn. – RCA Nashville breakout artist Andrew Jannakos’ new EP, Gone Too Soon, is available now. Listen HERE.
“It’s an incredible feeling to be able to put out my debut EP with RCA Nashville. I think it is a solid introduction to who I am as a songwriter and artist, and I hope people can connect with these songs,” said Jannakos. “When I first started pursuing music, I would always dream of the all things I wanted to achieve. Writing, recording, and releasing my own music was always at the top of that list, so I feel very grateful for this opportunity. I still dream of performing in front of thousands of fans singing my songs back to me. This EP is hopefully one step closer to making that a reality.”
The title track of the EP, which is Jannakos’ current single at country radio, has amassed over 60 million on-demand streams to date. Upon its official release, the 2021 Artist to Watch (Sounds Like Nashville, Country Sway) earned a #1 debut on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart, while the track landed at #12 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and within the Hot 100.

About Andrew Jannakos: Flowery Branch, Georgia native Andrew Jannakos grew up in a small-town neighborhood where barbecue parties and backyard soccer games were everyday events. Today, that sense of community translates to his nearly one million followers across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Since Jannakos first teased his breakout single, “Gone Too Soon,” in a viral clip now viewed over ten million times, that community is only getting stronger. Many of Jannakos’ initial followers knew him for his illustrious run on season 16 of NBC’s The Voice , but after his girlfriend (now wife) posted a video of him cooking dinner while singing along to “Gone Too Soon” to his TikTok in July 2020, the video racked up 250K likes by the next morning, and ultimately earned him more than half a million followers on the platform. Upon the official release of “Gone Too Soon” to streaming platforms and digital retailers in September, Jannakos debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart, while the track debuted at #12 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and within the Hot 100. “Gone Too Soon” has amassed over 60 million on-demand streams to date and continues to receive a strong response from listeners.
