His career trajectory steepened in 2022 when he released “Fall in Love,” which ascended to number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100, followed by other significant singles like “Where It Ends.” These successes paved the way for Zimmerman to sign with Warner Music Nashville and Elektra Records, and his major-label project “Leave the Light On” debuted in the top ten of both the Billboard 200 and Canadian Albums charts.
Known for his collaborative spirit, Zimmerman has worked with a multitude of artists and personalities across the industry. Some noteworthy collaborations include Josh Ross, who opened for Zimmerman on his U.S. headlining tour and will again join him for his 2024 “Religiously: The Tour.” Further connections extend to fellow TikTok musicians, producers at Warner Music Nashville and Elektra Records, as well as songwriters who have been instrumental in crafting the stories in Zimmerman’s music.
As for honors, Zimmerman’s work hasn’t gone unnoticed.
