Fancy Hagood, born Jake Hagood on in Bentonville, Arkansas, is an American singer-songwriter known for his unique blend of country, pop, and glam influences. He moved to Nashville at 17 with the dream of becoming an openly queer country artist. Over the past decade, Hagood has built a reputation as one of the genre's most charismatic and boundary-pushing voices. His music often features high-energy, organic instrumentation, drawing from bluegrass and roots textures while maintaining sharp pop melodies.
In 2015, under the moniker Who Is Fancy, he released the single 'Goodbye,' which peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart. The track was part of a viral campaign that kept his identity a secret until he revealed himself on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. After parting ways with his previous management, Hagood embraced his identity as Fancy Hagood and released his debut album, 'Southern Curiosity,' in 2021. The album received critical acclaim and showcased his evolution as an artist.
Hagood's latest release, the EP 'Baby Jake,' came out in April 2026. The EP features original tracks 'Love Me Back' and 'To The Moon,' along with a bluegrass-inspired cover of the Spice Girls' 'Say You'll Be There.' This release marks a return to his roots, blending bluegrass influences with pop melodies. In 2026, he is set to embark on a UK tour, with performances in cities including Manchester, Birmingham, York, Bristol, Brighton, and London.
