After being discovered at a local talent competition in 2004, Carroll was signed to the Arista Nashville label in 2006, releasing his debut album Waitin' in the Country that year.

In 2004 encouraged by his mother (Pamela Clark Carroll), Carroll won a local singing competition, WRAZ FOX 50's Gimme the Mic.[1] During this same period, Carroll had finished writing "Alyssa Lies." Carroll says he struggled to the point of getting migraines for a year and a half before finishing the song. By the summer of 2005, Carroll was a regular along Nashville's Music Row.
