What’s the buzz on Chris Stapleton? After going through my Facebook Newsfeed and watching the 49th Annual Country Music Awards, the new up and coming star Chris Stapleton is all the rage.
Stapleton started his career over 15 years ago on Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee. Since he began his career he has not only focused on singing, but he has written songs for other artists as well. He has written 5 number one hits for well known Nashville Country Stars such as: George Strait and Luke Bryan. Stapleton has also aided in songwriting with Adele and Jason Aldean.
Stapleton graced the country music industry with his voice in 2013 and signed with a record company called Mercury Nashville. He came out with his 2015 Album “Traveler” in May. This album lead him to “Album of the Year”, “New Artist of the Year”, and “Male Vocalist of the Year” this year at the CMA Awards held on November 4, 2015.
Chris Stapleton’s performance of the country classic “Tennessee Whiskey” along side pop artist Justin Timberlake wowed the audience. Stapleton’s deep, raspy voice empowers the viewers with qualities much like Hank Williams Jr. and Jamey Johnson. Many country music listeners view Stapleton’s voice as a change for Country Music.
