Nearing the end of his enlistment, Cody decided it was time to pursue his music full-time – although this would prove to be difficult. For months, he was forced to sleep in his car while simultaneously booking tours in the southern US.

This period did not last very long as Cody was then offered a position performing aboard Carnival Cruise Line. This led him to perform hundreds of shows in many exotic locations, such as Australia, Bora Bora, Tahiti, and many other Southern Pacific islands.

After meeting his wife in Australia, Cody decided to move back to the UK to return to school for a short period. After receiving a Bachelor’s in Law and a Master’s in Law and Business Management, Cody was offered a position as a trainee lawyer at a corporate law firm. However, the pull to music was too strong. After a year in his law firm, Cody decided it was time to get back to music full-time.

Cody’s 2022 and 2023 UK tours were both sell-outs totalling nearly 20,000 tickets sold. His debut country EP, “Downtown”, is scheduled to be released in September 2023. Two singles from the EP, the title track “Downtown” and “How Bout Kentucky”, were released on 20 January 2023 and went straight to No 1 in the iTunes Country Chart.

The singles “Cowboy Sitting at the Bar”, “Losing Her”, and “Be A Man” have also been released from the EP, garnering hundreds of thousands of streams across the streaming platforms.

Cody will be on tour again in the UK in October and November 2023, with a very large UK tour planned for mid-2024. With tickets flying out the door, Cody Pennington is certainly not an artist to miss.
