He then enrolled at Middle Tennessee State University where he originally intended to played college football, but became more interested being in a band.[4] He graduated with a music business degree.[5] He has been in a long-term relationship with fellow country singer Meghan Patrick.[6] On November 24, 2021, the two got engaged in the bar where they first met.[7]

Tenpenny released his debut album, titled Black Crow, in 2015. A track, "Canes Creek", featured the bluegrass band The SteelDrivers.[3] His debut single was the title track of the album, "Black Crow".[8] In his early songwriting career, he wrote a number of songs with artists such as Nick Fradiani;[9] an early success is the Top 10 song he co-wrote "If the Boot Fits", recorded by Granger Smith.[10] He signed a publishing deal with Sony ATV Music Publishing Nashville,[5] and was involved in the documentary film The Voyage in 2014.[11] He was signed to a newly formed Riser Records in 2016.[12] On January 10, 2018, it was announced that Tenpenny was signed to a joint venture with Riser House/Sony Music Nashville to a record deal. He will be on the Columbia Records imprint.[13]

In July 2017, Tenpenny released an EP, Linden Ave, named after the street where his grandmother Donna Hilley used to live.[14] The EP charted at No. 10 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart, No. 6 in Heatseekers Albums, and No. 12 in Country Album Sales, with 2,100 copies sold in its first week.[15][16]
