Biography
McComas was born in Bethesda, Maryland, and his family moved to Harrison, Arkansas when he was four years old. At age sixteen, he attended a Paul Overstreet concert; while at the concert, Overstreet gave McComas the address of his publishing company. McComas submitted a demo tape to the publishing company, who then encouraged him to continue working on his writing skills.[1][2]
McComas later attended college, but soon dropped out to move to Nashville, Tennessee.[2] He briefly signed with Mercury Records, before he landed a deal with Lyric Street in 2001, charting the singles "Night Disappear With You" and "I Could Never Love You Enough."[3] In 2003, he landed his first Top 10, "99.9% Sure (I've Never Been Here Before)"[1] and the follow-up "You're in My Head", a No. 21 hit on the country charts. Another single for Lyric Street, "The Middle of Nowhere", fell short of the Top 40, and Lyric Street dropped him not long afterward.[4] He later signed to Katapult Records, where he released Back Up Again, his second album.[5]
