Cody Jinks Biography

 




Cody Jinks moved from a career in thrash metal to that of a successful country rebel. He issued several well-received independent releases in the early 2010s before breaking into the mainstream with his self-released sixth album, I’m Not the Devil, which reached number four on the Billboard country charts in 2016. Cody Jinks’ music evokes classic styles ranging from outlaw country to Southern rock. The native of Texas, who is known for his mellow baritone and lonely, dark-hued country ballads, was able to leverage his recent popularity into a recording contract with Rounder Records, and he made his label debut with the album Lifers in 2018.

The next year, he released After the Fire and The Wanting on his own independent label, and then in 2021, he continued the run with Mercy under the same banner. Jinks was born and raised in Haltom City, Texas, and spent the early part of his career fronting the thrash metal band Unchecked Aggression, which was based in Fort Worth. In the late 2000s, Jinks went back to his country roots and reinvented himself as a honky tonk balladeer, but he is still a native of Haltom City. Jinks has put out a number of indie recordings, the first of which being 2010’s Less Wise. He has also done a significant amount of traveling with his backup band, the Tone Deaf Hippies.
