Kacey Musgraves

Born on August 21, 1988, in Golden, Texas, U.S.A, singer-songwriter Kacey Lee Musgraves has garnered multiple Grammy awards for her solo albums that blend Nashville country with contemporary pop. Beginning her musical journey at the age of eight, she honed her skills as a multi-instrumentalist and started crafting her own songs during her teenage years, drawing inspiration from artists such as Alison Krauss. Her entry into the music industry was catalysed by her participation in the talent show Nashville Star, with her debut single "Merry Go 'Round" already making waves on the country and single charts by 2012, earning the singer her first Grammy. Following her successful debut, Musgraves released her first album, Same Trailer Different Park, a year later, which swiftly climbed to the top of the country charts and secured a Grammy award for Best Country Album. Subsequent albums like Pageant Material (2015) and A Very Kacey Christmas (2016) displayed her unique blend of traditional country sounds with bold and contemporary lyrical themes. Her crowning achievement came with her third album, Golden Hour (2018), which earned her four Grammy awards, including Album of the Year, and solidified her status as a headline act at prestigious music festivals like C2C: Country to Country. In 2021, her album Star-Crossed reached Number 1 on the country charts, followed by a successful 15-city tour and global chart success. In 2023, Musgraves teamed up with country star Zach Bryan on the single "I Remember Everything," which debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, marking her first Number 1 single on the chart and earning the Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. She also served as an executive producer alongside Reese Witherspoon for the country music competition show My Kind of Country (2023). In 2024, Musgraves released her sixth studio album, Deeper Well, preceded by its title single, which went to number 26 on the US Country charts and 28 in New Zealand.
