Carpenter is a BMI singer-songwriter known for “Love Me Like You Mean It” (2014), a No. 1 song he co-wrote with and performed by Kelsea Ballerini. Before the big-hearted Arkansas farm kid had any success in music, he chose a career of service to others. Carpenter got a job with the state of Arkansas after he graduated from Arkansas Tech University and subsequently with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he worked to support those affected by dozens of disasters, including Hurricane Katrina. Amid the considerable stress and turmoil of the job, Carpenter found that through songwriting, the music he loved was able to quiet his mind. He moved to Nashville in 2011 and, within 18 months, he signed his first publishing deal. His albums include his self-titled debut album “Lance Carpenter” (2013), “Hay Days” (2015) and “Mustang” (2018). “The Demo Sessions” album (2021) included the hit “You’re Beautiful.” He has performed with Toby Keith, Luke Bryan, Justin Moore and the Randy Rogers Band.
