Oliver Anthony is from a town in Virginia and has a plot of land he shares with his 3 dogs, he plans on turning it into a small farm to raise livestock. He currently lives in a camper on this land and even turned down an 8 million dollar offer saying “I don’t want 6 tour buses, 15 tractor trailers and a jet. I don’t want to play stadium shows, I don’t want to be in the spotlight,” “I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression.”
Now he’s unveiled a new song that is already getting lots of streams! Oliver Anthony shared the new song on Tuesday via YouTube and it already has over 3 million views. It’s called I Want To Go Home and it sounds like a follow up to Rich Men North Of Richmond.
