Ty Herndon first gained popularity while playing the honky-tonks in Texas, and in 1993 he was named "Texas Entertainer of the Year." That honor led to a record deal with Epic Records. Herndon made his chart debut in 1995 with "What Mattered Most," which became his first #1 song. It was also the title track to his debut album, which debuted on the Billboard "Top Country Albums" chart and had the biggest first-week shipment in the history of Epic Records Nashville. Between 1995 and 2002, Herndon charted 17 singles, including his three #1's and numerous Top Ten hits, such as "I Want My Goodbye Back," "Loved Too Much," "A Man Holding On," and "Hands of a Working Man." He topped the charts in 1996 with the single "Living in a Moment" and again in 1998 with "It Must Be Love."

In 2010, Herndon released Journey On, the album heralded as the most personal project of Herndon's career, due in large part to the fact that the it represented his first foray into songwriting. The album earned him a Grammy Award nomination and his first Dove Award. In 2014, Ty Herndon was the first major male country artist to publicly come out as gay. Shortly after, he made history when he hosted the first-of-its-kind country music event, "The Concert for Love and Acceptance." As a philanthropist, Herndon has also donated his time to The Trevor Project, Make A Wish, St. Jude, GLAAD, Feed the Children, and more. In 2018, Herndon was honored with the HRC Visibility Award from Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest LGBT civil rights organization, which recognizes efforts to help better the lives of LGBTQ people.
