ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Cody Jinks !Sponsored By: Thirty Tigers Single: “I’m Not The Devil”
Songwriters: !Cody Jinks & Ward Davis Hometown: !Fort Worth, Texas !Website: www.codyjinks.com Artist Bio: Always avoiding trends and ferociously choosing his direction were the only options from day one, even though that very path could have prevented success. “What is success if you can’t wake up everyday being who you really are? In the end, that will catch up with you,” he says. His long, dark beard and endless array of tattoos are no fad. They unquestionably de ine Cody Jinks. Diving into his album, I’m Not the Devil, is the perpetual truth of who he is and where he has found himself at this point in his career. “I’m just glad that I ended up where I am now,” he says. “It makes complete sense that I’m at this place in my life. Country music found !me when I was young and chased me down as I grew older.” !Cody Facts: !-Merle Haggard is the greatest of all !-Bass ishing is a massive passion !-Fronted a Thrash Metal Band in his early 20s !-Mom and Dad can both sing -Happily married and a proud father of two Thursday, September 29, 2016
