An innovator in modern music, Kane Brown has broken records with his crossover country / pop songs and his genre breaking collaborations since his 2015 breakthrough single ‘Used To Love You Sober’.
Following the arrival of his self-titled, 2X Platinum debut album in November 2016, Kane Brown has ascended from social media notability to become one of country music’s most accomplished mainstays. Not only was he recently named as one of the Time100 most influential people in the world, but the 28-year-old singer-songwriter was nominated for multiple 2022 ACM Awards and 2021 CMA Awards as his latest hit single, ‘One Mississippi’, topped country airplay charts for the seventh time. Upon the release of his Kane Brown Deluxe Version in October 2017, Brown made history as the first artist ever to lead all five of Billboard’s main country charts simultaneously. This accomplishment was achieved by his album which reigned No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart for 13 weeks, plus his 7X Platinum-certified hits ‘Heaven’ and ‘What Ifs’ featuring Lauren Alaina, respectively the fourth and seventh most-streamed country songs of all time (U.S. Nielsen Country On-Demand Streams chart).
A 5X American Music Award Winner, Brown became the only male country artist in more than 24 years to have his sophomore album debut at the top of the Billboard 200 when he dropped Experiment in 2018. Now certified Platinum, Experiment yielded the three consecutive No. 1 2X Platinum certified hits ‘Lose It’, ‘Good As You’ and ‘Homesick’. Mixtape Vol. 1, Kane Brown’s first multi-song project since Experiment, dropped in August 2020 and earned an ACM Award nomination for Album of the Year in 2021. Brown’s EP included the powerful ‘Worldwide Beautiful’, which received an ACM Award for “Video of the Year,” the first time a Black solo artist has won this trophy.
