Biography
Zorn grew up in Nakusp, British Columbia, where he played hockey, and went hunting and fishing from a young age.[5] He received his first guitar when he was seven years old.[6] Zorn began performing in a country-blues band with his father at eight years old, and he was writing his own songs by the age of twelve.[7][8][9] He described Eric Church, Sam Hunt, and John Mayer as the three biggest influences on his music.[10] Zorn graduated from high school in 2012.[11]
In 2016, Zorn started an electrical apprenticeship, which led to a job in the Alberta oil sands.[12] He later relocated to San Antonio, Texas, for similar work in the oil fields, which allowed him to spend his off-time in Nashville, Tennessee, developing as a songwriter.[13] In 2018, Zorn wrote the song "Humboldt" to honour the victims and survivors of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.[12] Zorn lived and worked in the United States for over four years, splitting his time between Texas and Tennessee.[14] He returned to Canada in 2021, and moved to Kelowna, British Columbia.[15][16] Zorn was a wild card finalist in the 2023 Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase.[17]
In June 2024, after signing with 604 Records, Zorn released his debut radio single "Home".[18][19] The song would reach the top 30 of the Canada Country chart.[3] He released the follow-up single "Back to You" in February 2025.[20][21] Zorn was a semi-finalist in the 2025 SiriusXM Top of the Country contest.[22] On June 20, 2025, Zorn released a self-titled extended play Mitch Zorn through 604.[23] The EP is five tracks long, and includes "Home", "Back to You", and the single "Think of Me".[24] In the fall of 2025, Zorn performed as an opening act across Canada on select dates of Jess Moskaluke's "Life for Me Tour" and a portion of James Barker Band's "Bud Light Buckle Up Tour".[25][26]
