From his self-titled debut in 2017, Brett Young has captured the hearts of fans everywhere through his honest lyrics and West Coast-meets-Southern sound, aptly dubbed “Caliville” style.

Following his acclaimed second studio album, Ticket To L.A., Brett broadened his emotional scope on Weekends Look A Little Different These Days, which features “You Didn’t” (GOLD) and “Lady,” whose lyrics inspired Brett’s debut children’s book “Love You, Little Lady,” published by Tommy Nelson (an imprint of HarperCollins). One of only four modern Country artists to have their first seven singles go No. 1, Young debuted atop the Billboard Country Albums chart with his GOLD-certified Ticket To L.A. while his PLATINUM self-titled debut dominated the Top 20 on the Country Albums chart for 37 weeks, all contributing to over 8.1 billion global streams to date. In 2018, Young was named ACM’s New Male Artist of the Year and ASCAP’s Country Songwriter-Artist of the Year for his “melodic craftsmanship” (Billboard) and garnered nominations from Billboard, Teen Choice, CMT and CMA Awards, while continuing to amass non-stop hits as “one of Country’s most consistent radio stars” (Rolling Stone). He released his first holiday album Brett Young & Friends Sing the Christmas Classics, with special guests including Darius Rucker, Maddie & Tae and Colbie Caillat in 2021, and co-wrote “Long Way Home (From The Motion Picture ��Father Stu’)” with Shay Mooney and Bear Rinehart, featured in Sony Pictures’ 2022 film starring Academy Award Nominee® Mark Wahlberg.

Hailing from the small town of Hull, GA, Mackenzie Carpenter is the spunky blonde girl-next- door who fell in love with music as a kid, writing alongside her brothers and singing in church. Years later, the charming singer-songwriter has used her pure, classic Country voice to write and sing her truth, armed with an undeniable knack for penning songs that deeply resonate with listeners time and time again. With an upbringing consisting of a rowdy support system, back porch hootenannies and juicy drama, the warm and authentic Carpenter also embraces the crazy and sometimes humorous aspects that make life more interesting. She kickstarted her career as a songwriter with standout cuts like Megan Moroney’s “I’m Not Pretty,” “Indifferent,” “28th of June” and Lily Rose’s No. 1 hit “Villain,” all while honing her craft as an artist. Since signing her record deal with The Valory Music Co. in 2022, Mackenzie has been named to MusicRow Magazine’s ‘Next Big Thing’ Artists Class Of 2025, Spotify’s Hot Country 2024 Artists To Watch, CMT’s Next Women of Country class of 2023 and Nashville Briefing’s Artists To Watch 2023. She has opened for talents like Miranda Lambert, Jake Owen, Parker McCollum, Craig Campbell and Ryan Hurd. Mackenzie’s debut album, HEY COUNTRY QUEEN, was released on March 7 and offers fans a deeper view of her multi-dimensional talents. The release follows the breakout success of previously released tracks, including the “sardonic and really, really fun” (MusicRow) “Dozen Red Flags” and “the year’s most irresistible duet” (Entertainment Focus) “I Wish You Would ft. Midland” which kicked off Mackenzie’s 2025 and set the stage for an electrifying new chapter. Co-writing all 13 tracks, this bold and personal project highlights Mackenzie’s inherent ability to blend fun-loving humor with deep, full-hearted sincerity. This April, Mackenzie will join Megan Moroney as direct support for select dates of her Am I Okay? Tour.

Injecting new vitality into the country tradition, 24-year-old Mercury Nashville talent Bryce Leatherwood is a next generation traditionalist plugged firmly into the modern mainstream, with all the hallmarks of a rising star. But while he’s come a long way in a short time, the singer-songwriter won’t forget his raising.

“My music is a true representation of where I came from,” he says with simple pride. “The early times in my life are my most fond memories, and really, I guess my life now is a translation of that. I want to live it every day, so I go and write it, I go and sing it when I’m on the road. It’s just about keeping a connection to that place.”

Poised for a breakout year, emerging singer/songwriter Kevin Smiley’s highly anticipated debut single, “Paralyzed,” is out now.

He first shared portions of the song on social media last summer and has since received significant attention across platforms, garnering 20 million cumulative views to date.

Pitbull continues to push boundaries and inspire millions worldwide, marking a profound cultural impact and unique legacy across entertainment, business, education, and beyond.

The string of hit songs haven’t stop after that including “Bend Ova” feat. Tyga, “Prison Riot” with Flosstradamus, “Get Loose,” (out on DIM MAK) and recent singles “Live The Night,” with Hardwell  “Savage,” with Borgeous and Riggi & Piros and “Take It Off” featuring Yandel and Becky G.

Atlanta’s party rap duo Ying Yang Twins scored a hit with the single “Whistle While You Twurk,” which received nationwide airplay on urban and crossover radio stations. Their full-length debut album, Thug Walkin’, appeared later in 2000. Alley…Return of the Ying Yang Twins from 2002 sold well down South, but it was the duo’s 2003 team-up with Lil Jon — “the King of Crunk” — that brought them nationwide success. The party anthem “Salt Shaker” was a massive club and radio hit and soon had the TVT label chasing the duo to sign. They did, and their first album for the label, Me & My Brother, yielded two more crunk hits, “What’s Happnin!” and “Naggin’.” The same year the duo appeared on Britney Spears’ album In the Zone and her television special of the same name. In 2004, TVT released the remix-filled My Brother & Me with a bonus DVD of the group’s videos. USA (United State of Atlanta) appeared in the summer of 2005 as its single “Wait (The Whisper Song)” was dominating urban radio. Chemically Imbalanced followed in 2006.
