Don Louis wasn't always a country singer he was an R&B hip-hop artist it wasn't until he started listening to George Strait, Toby Keith, George Jones, and Waylon Jennings that he learned to appreciate the country music industry. He wanted to write songs about real life, real stories about personal hardships and relationships, even though he still mixes some of his Southern hip-hop influences into some of his music he is a bonified county singer with some swag, according to a story from texasstandard.org. He got America's attention when he released the song, "Neon You" on TikTok in 2023 and with that song, he's got kids that normally wouldn't listen to country music listening now.

Don Louis is coming to Texarkana to perform for one night only at Crossties Event Center on Saturday, June 29, 2024.
