Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Joey Hyde grew up listening to his dad’s record collection. His early influences were such bands as Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, and Pink Floyd, which led him to a love of the guitar. Later, he found himself digging deeper into the lyrics of the songs he loved, which drove him headfirst into songwriting. Joey came to Nashville in 2006 and spent most of his younger days playing the honky tonks on lower Broadway, and across the Southeast.

It wasn’t long before he hit the road playing guitar for artists including Florida Georgia Line, Ryan Hurd, and HARDY, but after a couple years on the road playing for other artists, he felt a pull to make his own music and chase his own artistry. Joey then toured the country singing his songs for crowds that appreciated his blend of rock guitars and songwriter story telling.

In 2019, Joey Hyde scored his first number one hit with “Made For You,” co-written with songwriters Benjy Davis and Neil Medley, and recorded by Jake Owen. Hyde’s credits include songs recorded by Kameron Marlowe, Ryan Hurd, The Band Camino, Kid Rock, and many more. As a producer, he currently has his first single at radio with Meghan Patrick’s song “Golden Child,” which Hyde also co-wrote.
