Eric “Pistol” Combs was born Sept 15th, 1990 in Hazard, Kentucky. At the age of twelve he
developed a strong love for music and was heavily influenced by the hip-hop genre. He began
to write his own lyrics and practice his craft. From 2009-2011, Combs had a short run with a
band called Highway 80 and performed at local venues. The band went their separate ways
after two years. In October 2017, after going through a trying time in his life, Eric Combs began
writing and recording his first EP. He crossed paths with April Edwards at Nitrosonic Studio in
Lexington, KY who went on to engineer Eric's “Pistol” EP. In February 2018 the five song EP
wrapped up production and was released April 6th of 2018 under the Nitrosonic label. The night
it debuted, “Pistol” hit the top 100 iTunes Rap Album charts at #88. He's seen immediate
success, including national radio play of the song “We Will Conquer” from the “Pistol” EP and
live performances at several county fairs and Kentucky festivals, opening for Colt Ford at the
Black Gold Festival. His second release in September, “ROOTS”, had no different trajectory; it
debuted at #31 on the same iTunes chart
