Worsham was born in Jackson, Mississippi, and grew up in Grenada, Mississippi. The Mississippi Senate recognized Worsham in 1999, when he was 14 years old, for his outstanding musical accomplishments, as well as being "a model student who makes straight A's". Worsham attended Grenada High School, and then Berklee College of Music in Boston. Worsham joined the band KingBilly, singing harmonies and playing mandolin until 2010; the band recorded an extended play, "Waiting On You". Though the band received some local fame in Nashville and a featured spot on Great American Country’s GAC Minute, they never broke through to mainstream radio, and disbanded in 2012 with all members pursuing solo careers. Worsham toured with Taylor Swift in 2011, and has opened for performers such as Miranda Lambert and Wade Bowen. He opened for Brad Paisley and Randy Houser in 2014. In 2016 it was announced he would be opening some shows during the final world tour of Kenny Rogers.

He released his debut single, "Could It Be", for Warner Bros. Records in 2013. The song appears on his debut album Rubberband, released on August 20, 2013. The album features Vince Gill and Marty Stuart on one of the tracks, "Tools of the Trade". The album's second single, "Want Me Too", was released in late 2013.

Worsham's second album, Beginning of Things, was released on April 21, 2017. "Cut Your Groove" was released as the album's lead single. Worsham did not release any new content until April 2021 when he issued a single titled "Fist Through This Town". This was followed by an EP titled Sugarcane in July of the same year. In July 2026, Worsham signed with ONErpm for the release of his third studio album, Once Upon a Second Time Around. Scheduled for August 7, 2026, it was described as his first independently released album. On August 7, 2026, the twenty-year anniversary of Worsham's move to Nashville and the release day of Once Upon a Second Time Around, Worsham was surprised by Vince Gill during Gill's show at the Ryman Auditorium where Worsham was playing as part of the band with an invite to become the next member of the Grand Ole Opry, which he accepted.

In 2014, Worsham was cast as Colin Haynes (a country musician who was brutally murdered) in Bones' 9th season episode Big in the Philippines. The episode was directed by David Boreanaz.

Charlie Worsham currently hosts the "Mississippi on the Map" podcast in partnership with Visit Mississippi. Guests have included Morgan Freeman, Marty Stuart, Mac McAnally and Chris Stapleton.
