When any starry-eyed country music hopeful packs up their life and moves to Music City, they're often moulded, sculpted and pulled in every which way by label execs in order to build a specific ‘brand’.  

, she's maintained a distinct determination to stay true to her roots. Many artists sing about their down-home upbringing as a marketing device, but for Lainey, it's always been the truth - all she needed was three chords to accompany it. 

She grew up in a camper trailer in rural Baskin, Louisiana, and stormed onto the scene with her reflective 2021 single, ‘Things A Man Oughta Know’. The track earned Lainey a No. 1, a Platinum certification and the award for ACM Song of the Year. Alongside this, Lainey also picked up the ACM New Female Artist of the Year prize. 

It didn't take long for Nashville to warm to Lainey's honeyed drawl and traditionally-minded yet contemporary sound. Billboard named Lainey as their Top New Country Artist of 2021, while CMT championed her as the 2022 Breakout Artist of the Year. 

If 2021 was Lainey's take-off, then 2022 saw Lainey rocketing into country's galaxy of modern-day stars. Two successful collaborations set the ball rolling. Her Cole Swindell assisted single, ‘Never Say Never’, became Lainey's second No. 1 in April 2022, while her dark, ominous HARDY duet, ‘wait in the truck’, sent ripples across Radnor Lake and quickly became one of the most notable tracks of the year.

This laid the foundation for the October 2022 release of 

The project spawned singles such as ‘Heart Like A Truck’ and ‘Live Off’, both of which embody the unpretentious, small-town way of life that continues to inspire so much of Lainey's music. 

Often, Lainey Wilson's sound of choice is fun, playful and swaggering, while at other times, it's beautifully poignant and heartfelt. But whichever sonic playbook she chooses to draw from, one thing's for sure - it's always going to be unmistakably, unashamedly and unwaveringly

It seemed, at first, that country singer Sam Hunt was destined for football. He played at Middle Tennessee State University for a year, before transferring to the University of Alabama at Birmingham. 

But it was what happened after practice that formed his future: Hunt learned how to play the guitar. Even though he would go on to try out for the Kansas City Chiefs, he ultimately wanted to pursue a career in music. 

His songs eventually caught the ear of MCA Nashville, which signed him in 2014. Later that year, he released the EP 

and followed it closely with the debut studio album 

Hunt's first single hit big on country radio. 'Leave the Night On' topped the Country Airplay chart and marked the first of four songs to reach that spot. The achievement meant he became the first male country star to have four songs from their debut studio album reach No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart. 

Hunt also won New Artist of the Year at the Americana Music Awards in 2015, and was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys in 2016. His sophomore album
