Growing up, Rossell’s life was filled with much adversity, which he credits for his tenacity and grit. After his father passed away, Rossell discovered his passion for guitar and upon graduating from college, a promise to his late father, Rossell made his way to Nashville. With over 7 million views on YouTube, Rossell has charted at #27 on the iTunes Top 100 and been named one of the Academy of Country Music’s Top 15 Rising Artists, Rossell is making an indelible imprint in the country scene.

Rossell has teamed up with several of country music’s biggest stars, such as Eric Church, and more recently, Garth Brooks. “Mitch is one of the young singer/songwriters in Nashville that I was lucky enough to discover,” explains Garth Brooks, “and then I kept hearing stuff that had his name on it and it just killed me so I had to call him up.” Mitch remains humbled by the journey, and can be seen later this year on tour opening for Garth Brooks, headlining his own shows, or finishing up his album in the studio.
