Her high notes thrill, her nuance in storytelling captivates. A star for our times claims her place&#8221; (NPR). The four-time Grammy nominee and 2022 TIME Breakthrough Artist of the Year Guyton recently released songs &#8220;I Still Pray,&#8221; &#8220;How You Love Someone&#8221; and &#8220;Somethin&#8217; Bout You&#8221; following her critically acclaimed 2021 debut album &#8220;Remember Her Name.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With &#8220;Remember Her Name,&#8221; Mickey made history as the first Black artist to earn a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album. Title track &#8220;Remember Her Name&#8221; also landed Mickey with Grammy nominations for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. This follows Mickey&#8217;s groundbreaking Grammy nomination as the first-ever Black female solo artist to earn a nod in a country category (Best Country Solo Performance) for &#8220;Black Like Me&#8221; which she performed as part of the 2021 awards ceremony. &#8220;Black Like Me&#8221; was named one of the Top 10 all-genre songs of 2020 by NPR, Billboard and Associated Press. She also co-hosted the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards on CBS along with Keith Urban and she was named CMT&#8217;s 2021 Breakout Artist of the Year.

Never confirming his identity, Orville, who is openly gay and lived an itinerant life across South Africa and the rural south, is never seen without his signature, fringed mask. Following the release of his self-produced debut album Pony in 2019, Orville signed with Columbia Records and released his Show Pony EP. Released to immediate critical acclaim early last year, the EP features a duet with global icon Shania Twain and puts Orville&#8217;s triumphant songwriting skills and intentional craftsmanship on full display. He then followed that up with &#8220;Bronco,&#8221; which he released in chapters, alongside a multitude of cinematic videos. He was also hand selected by Lady Gaga for her Born This Way 10th Anniversary album. Orville, known for his unique personal style, has collaborated with many fashion brands including but not limited to Dior, Michael KORS, ADIDAS X Ivy Park, and Pamela Love amongst others. Known for his live shows, Orville was one of the first artists to return to touring and has toured across the US, Europe, Australia, and Canada. He has had sold out shows at Hollywood Bowl and Ryman Theatre, as well as major festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Stage Coach, and Coachella amongst others. When Orville is not performing or touring, he lends his time to activism and the causes he is committed to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple TV+ today revealed that trailblazing country singer-songwriters, including Grammy-nominated and 2021&#8217;s CMA New Artist of the Year Jimmie Allen, four-time Grammy nominee Mickey Guyton and critically acclaimed songwriter, country recording artist, and activist Orville Peck join the groundbreaking new music competition series, &#8220;My Kind of Country,&#8221;
