Two-time ACM New Female Vocalist nominee RaeLynn continues to carve her unique lane in country music with her gift for storytelling through songwriting, accented by a one-of-a-kind, electric personality. As she prepares for an upcoming 2023 summer album release as an independent artist, RaeLynn once again connects with fans after delivering new songs within the new year including, “It’s Happening Right Here,” “Broken One,” and “Somebody Else.” RaeLynn has both GOLD (“Love Triangle”, “Lonely Call”) and PLATINUM (“God Made Girls”) singles to her name amassing over ONE BILLION total career streams and over 100 MILLION global streams on her 2021 independently-released full-length album BAYTOWN. BAYTOWN followed RaeLynn’s widely praised debut WILDHORSE which arrived at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart (only one of ten albums to ever do this) and was recognized among the best Country albums of 2017 by Rolling Stone, UPROXX and Stereogum. With over 2.5 MILLION followers across her engaging online platforms RaeLynn’s star continues to rise after becoming the first country face to represent the global beauty brand Too Faced and made her acting debut in the Hallmark Channel’s “A Nashville Christmas Carol.” Since becoming a mother in September 2021, her outlook on life has been enriched with growing a family and leaving a legacy of purpose. In doing so, she unapologetically has begun accepting speaking engagements and divulging an unfiltered, raw perspective of her inspiring life experiences.
