Cody Joe Hodges started playing music at an early age, but it wasn’t until his senior year in high school that he became serious about his art. His first song to write was “Daddy’s Dream”, his freshman year, while living in the dorms at Texas A&M University. Not long after graduating from Texas A&M in 2006, he had a short stay in Nashville and decided to “get away from music”, moved back to Texas and eventually joined the Army.

After auditioning with “Daddy’s Dream” & “Star Spangled Banner”, they extended an offer to join them, and Cody Joe began traveling across America playing for large entertainment venues.
