Backstage

Born on June 30, Roy Covington found his musical footing early—singing as a child and learning some piano by age 12, he attended Chowan University for Music Education in Fall 2008. At Chowan, he learned a bit of music production. Due to financial issues, he left college and later served in the United States Marine Corps for 13 years. During Roy's time in the Marine Corps, he adopted the nickname "CovNasty" on social media. After leaving the military, Roy Covington decided to use his legal name to make it easier for people to understand who he is and to avoid confusion between his identity and the Marine Corps. Prior to the name change, he released roughly 37 singles in just 18 months and paused to hone in on his R&B/Soul sound.

Roy Covington has worked with artists including Terrell Baptiste, Lendryx, Robbie Reign, and producer Jackson Drinkard. He's also worked with directors Keith Billingslea, Metro Travieso and cinematographers Baxter Stapleton, Isaiah Upchurch.
