He has claimed to be a descendant of Davy Crockett, mixed-race, and Jewish.{{Cite web |last=clairewilson |date=2021-07-30 |title=Charley Crockett's Valley |url=https://txliving.com/charley-crocketts-valley/ |access-date=2023-12-06 |website=Texasliving |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Parker |first=Bryan C. |date=2022-09-28 |title=Rising Country Star Charley Crockett is a Legend in the Making |url=https://www.austinmonthly.com/rising-country-star-charley-crockett-is-a-legend-in-the-making/ |access-date=2023-12-06 |website=Austin Monthly Magazine |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Zuel |first=Bernard |date=2023-02-28 |title=NO TICKET REQUIRED - CHARLEY CROCKETT RIDING MYTHS, RACE, TRAINS AND THE TRUTH |url=https://www.bernardzuel.net/post/no-ticket-required-charley-crockett-riding-myths-race-trains-and-the-truth |access-date=2024-06-09 |website=bernardzuel |language=en}}{{Cite news |last=Cooper |first=Leonie |date=2020-07-10 |title=Charley Crockett: ‘I don’t look like what a country audience expects’ |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jul/10/charley-crockett-i-dont-look-like-what-a-country-audience-expects |access-date=2024-06-09 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}{{Cite news |last=Darling |first=Cary |title=Talking music, race and Texas with Charley Crockett |url=https://www.chron.com/entertainment/music/article/Talking-music-race-and-Texas-with-Charley-12898104.php |access-date=2024-06-09 |work=Chron |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Raggio |first=Eva |title=Charley Crockett Tapped the Soul of Dallas Blues By Traveling the Country |url=https://www.dallasobserver.com/music/charley-crockett-tapped-the-soul-of-dallas-blues-by-traveling-the-country-7400786 |access-date=2024-06-09 |website=Dallas Observer |language=en}} His mother relocated the family to Dallas, and Crockett spent the summer months with his uncle, who lived in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Upon leaving high school at the age of 17, Crockett decided to travel with his guitar acquired by his mother from a pawn shop. Crockett noted "I taught myself how to play and started to write songs immediately, without any chord knowledge or anything. I didn't know what key I was in for 12 years, but my ear was really good, and I could play in any key and any chord. I just didn't know what it was." His early musical influences came from hearing hip hop, and he became fascinated with the samples used. Crockett said, "I got into Curtis Mayfield through samples of his songs by other artists, and Nina Simone was through a sample. Even J. Cole, I was listening to a song of his ("Kenny Lofton"), and it was based on the sample from the Manhattans version of 'Hurt{{'"}}.

Crockett played music on the streets in the French Quarter of New Orleans and in Deep Ellum, Dallas as a teenager. Later he traveled further afield by hitchhiking and riding freight, and by 2009 he was busking in New York City. As he improved his performance skills, Crockett organized a street band called the Trainrobbers, which caught the attention of a Manhattan-based representative for Sony Music. She signed the 26-year-old Crockett to a two-year management contract, although he rejected a publishing deal. Eventually tired of life on the streets and the pending expiration of the contract, Crockett relocated to Northern California, where he combined working on farms and communes with performing for three more years. Crockett then existed on the streets in Paris, France, for a year, and briefly lived in Spain and Morocco.

In 2015, Crockett returned to Texas and after settling in Dallas, self-released his debut album, A Stolen Jewel, in May. It landed him the Dallas Observer Music Award for Best Blues Act.{{cite web|url=https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2016/march/how-dallas-dresses-charley-crockett/|title=How Dallas Dresses: Charley Crockett|website=Dmagazine.com|date=February 29, 2016 |access-date=February 14, 2019}} The lo-fi collection contained a cover of the Flying Burrito Brothers' "Juanita." Crockett also befriended Leon Bridges at this time, before Crockett released a blues-dominated album, In The Night, in 2016.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country-lists/10-new-country-artists-you-need-to-know-october-2017-199758/|title=10 New Country Artists You Need to Know: October 2017|author1=David Menconi|author2=Marissa R.

After relocating to Austin, Texas, Crockett's next release was a collection of covers of country songs, Lil G.L.'s Honky Tonk Jubilee (2017), which was issued on Thirty Tigers. Tracks included the Roy Acuff-penned "Night Train to Memphis", Tanya Tucker’s "The Jamestown Ferry" and Hank Williams' "Honky Tonkin'", all incorporating Crockett's clipped, hiccuped Texan drawl. Other tracks on the album were originally recorded by Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn, and Webb Pierce ("I Ain't Never").

In 2018, he released Lonesome as a Shadow, a collection of purely original songs. It was recorded at Sam C. Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, and produced by Matt Ross-Spang. The opening track, "I Wanna Cry", was written for his sister who had died from a methamphetamine overdose.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/how-charley-crocketts-hard-living-shaped-new-album-lonesome-as-a-shadow-630324/|title=How Charley Crockett's Hard Living Shaped New Album 'Lonesome As a Shadow'|author=Jeff Gage|date=April 26, 2018|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=February 14, 2019}}{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/lonesome-as-a-shadow-mw0003153477|title=Lonesome as a Shadow – Charley Crockett – Songs, Reviews, Credits|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=February 14, 2019}} The album was dedicated to Henry "Ragtime Texas" Thomas.

In late 2018, Crockett issued Lil G.L.'s Blue Bonanza. Crockett noted that "Lil G.L. is my side name, like Hank [Williams] had Luke the Drifter. I use it for all my side projects and cover projects." He explained the moniker was given to him by a local blues drummer, Jay Moeller, in reference to the obscure R&B singer G. L. Crockett. AllMusic stated "Lil G.L.'s Blue Bonanza is a companion of sorts to Charley Crockett's 2017 Lil G.L.'s Honky Tonk Jubilee". The album was primarily another compilation of cover versions, although Crockett's definition of the blues encompasses tracks including Jimmy Reed's "Bright Lights, Big City", Tom T. Hall's "That's How I Got to Memphis" and Danny O'Keefe's "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues".{{cite news|url=https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2018-12-14/honky-tonk-soul-man-charley-crockett-makes-his-move/|title=Honky-Tonk Soul Man Charley Crockett Makes His Move|author=Doug Freeman|newspaper=The Austin Chronicle|access-date=February 14, 2019}} In addition, Crockett covered work by Ernest Tubb, George Jones, and T-Bone Walker.{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/lil-gls-blue-bonanza-mw0003220790|title=Lil G.L.'s Blue Bonanza – Charley Crockett – Songs, Reviews, Credits|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=February 14, 2019}} Lil G.L.'s Blue Bonanza peaked at number 10 in the Billboard Blues Albums chart.

In early January 2019, Crockett underwent open-heart surgery. Pre-assessments for the surgery exposed that Crockett had a congenital heart condition where his heart had two out of three aortic valve flaps fused together, leading to Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome.{{cite web|url=https://www.heart.org/en/news/2019/02/21/up-and-coming-texas-singer-lucky-to-be-alive-and-still-singing-the-blues|title=Up-and-coming Texas singer lucky to be alive and still singing the blues|website=Heart.org|access-date=June 24, 2019}}

Field Recordings, Vol. 1 was released on April 3, 2020, and is a mixtape of 30 low-fidelity covers and originals recorded in Mendocino County, California. Crockett and Kyle Madrigal recorded the collection over the previous year using a 4-track recorder, an old CB radio microphone, and an old rotary telephone. Crockett said the songs came "from my street stuff and folk tunes, stuff I wrote that might not necessarily be best for these studio albums."{{cite web |last1=Hern |first1=Raoul |last2=Stitt |first2=Greg |last3=Stegall |first3=Tim |last4=Rascoe |first4=Rachel |last5=Udensi |first5=Derek |title=New Austin Music You Can Enjoy at Home |url=https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2020-04-03/new-austin-music-you-can-enjoy-at-home/ |website=Austin Chronicle |access-date=April 24, 2022 |date=April 3, 2020}}
