“Since the beginning of his career, Kane Brown has ensured that his legacy will extend beyond music,” Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Live Events and Specials, NBCUniversal Entertainment, says. “His dedication to empowering and supporting younger generations is nothing short of inspiring, and we’re thrilled to honor him with the Country Champion Award.”
“It took a lot for me to get to this place,” McCreery shared with Everything Nash and other outlets, at a recent media event. “I think for one, growing up. I started so young, as we all know … I remember people being like, ‘What’s this kid going to sing about?’ It used to tick me off, but now I’m like, ‘What was I singing about?’ I hadn’t lived a lot of life. But those days were not that long ago, in the grand scheme of things, where I’d never had a No. 1.
“I had songs that I believed in, but wasn’t sure if they’d get out there,” he continued. “Ever since ‘Five More Minutes,’ and just the roll we’ve been on, it feels good. It feels very fulfilling. My fans have been by my side since before No.1s and it’s just grown since then.”
McCollum also just celebrated his fourth No. 1 single, with “Burn It Down.” He is back at radio with “What Kinda Man,” from a forthcoming new album. McCollum also joins Miranda Lambert on a song, “Santa Fe,” from her just-released Postcards From Texas album. More importantly than any professional accomplishments, McCollum just became a father, when he and his wife, Hallie Ray, welcomed their first child, son Yancey Tyler McCollum, into the world last month.
