Alright folks, buckle up. Earlier today, I got this random question buzzing in my head: whatever happened to that Walmart kid who went viral yodeling? You know, the one everyone went nuts over. Just popped into my head, so I figured I’d actually look into it and share the process.
The First Step: Starting the Search
First things first, I opened up my browser. I typed “walmart yodeling kid now” straight into the search bar, hit enter. Simple start, right? A bunch of links popped up immediately. News articles, YouTube stuff, social media hits.
Scrolling down, I clicked on a few of the top news links from reputable sites. Seemed faster than diving into YouTube right away. Wanted some current facts. Saw his name right away: Mason Ramsey. Forgot his real name for a second!
Digging Deeper: Tracking Down Recent News
So, now that I had his name, I refined my search. Tried “Mason Ramsey career 2023” and “Mason Ramsey recent”. Wanted stuff that wasn’t ancient history. Found a couple of interviews he’d done earlier this year. Good sign.
Checked his official social media next – seemed logical. Went to Instagram. Searched for “@masonramseyofficial”. Yep, found his verified account. Scrolled through his feed, checked out his stories highlights too. Here’s the gist of what jumped out:
- Still Making Music: Dude’s definitely still singing and recording. Posted clips from the studio, song snippets.
- Concerts & Gigs: Pictures and videos from performing live! Smaller venues, country fairs, festivals – looked like he was out there doing shows.
- New Song Teases: Kept hinting at new music dropping soon on his posts. Got people in the comments hyped.
Went over to YouTube and searched his channel “Mason Ramsey”. Saw recent uploads – some music videos (both professional and more casual ones), covers, behind-the-scenes bits. Definitely active there too.
Putting the Pieces Together
Based on what I was seeing consistently across news sites and his own platforms:
- Not Just a Meme Kid: He clearly stuck with the music thing. Signed with a major label way back after the viral moment, put out an EP, kept at it.
- Balancing Act: Found mentions in articles that besides music, he was focusing on school and trying to have a somewhat normal teenage life too. Can’t blame him.
- Genre Exploration: Looks like he’s sticking mostly with country but also trying different sounds. Still yodeling sometimes! That voice hasn’t gone anywhere.
- Growing Up in the Spotlight: Obvious difference looking at his pics/vids now compared to the little kid in the Walmart vest. Taller, deeper voice sometimes, but same grin.
Seems he hasn’t faded away. He’s navigating a music career that started in the most random way possible. Not a mega superstar filling stadiums every night, but he’s touring, recording, building something real off that one weird moment. Saw he even played the Grand Ole Opry – that’s pretty legit for a country artist.
My Final Takeaway
Honestly? It was kinda cool digging into this. That kid caught lightning in a bottle back then. The internet chews things up and spits them out fast, but it looks like Mason and the people around him played the long game. He turned a viral fluke into a sustainable music career he’s actively working on years later. Still recording, still performing, trying new stuff. Seems grounded too, focusing on regular life as well. Makes you feel a little better about these overnight sensations sometimes! Definitely wasn’t just a one-time joke for him. The kid’s still doing his thing.
