After years of farming in Washburn, ND along the rural banks of the Missouri River, Warner Chappell Music singer-songwriter Schmitty blends his wild child spirit with the down-home morals and values that shaped him in his debut EP, Office With A View.

Inspired early on by stories of his paternal grandpa’s Hall of Fame barbershop quartet, The Schmitt Brothers, he was taught his first guitar chords at 13 by a bluegrass-picking neighbor, he recalls: “That’ s where the bug bit me.” Leaving behind his tractor seat as a third-generation grain farmer to chase his dream in Nashville, Schmitty draws from the influences his family instilled - The Eagles and The Allman Brothers - while shaping his own jam-band storyteller aura. His sound is fueled by the heart of country music’s greats - Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt, George Jones, Eric Church, Cody Johnson, Riley Green - and modern songwriting inspirations like Erik Dylan, HARDY , and Dean Dillon.

Heartfelt lyrics and candid honesty have elevated his social media presence, with one YouTube share sparking over 1.7 million views - affirming his belief that God truly put him on this earth to create music. Pulling from his own story - the highs, lows, and lessons learned - he writes with a grounded authenticity that connects heart to heart with listeners. After signing his publishing deal in summer 2024, Schmitty began gearing up for his debut EP, Office With A View, out now, accompanied by his first Nashville full band show at American Legion.

With previously released songs like “Cadillac,” “This Side of the Porchlight,” and title track “Office With A View”, Schmitty keeps one foot planted firmly in the dirt that raised him while building a foundation for what’s ahead. With new music on the horizon and a growing calendar of shows, Schmitty is positioned for a breakout year.
