Kamryn Palmer

Kamryn Palmer is a Nashville-based country singer-songwriter originally from Indian Harbour Beach (or Harbour Beach), Florida, where she picked up the guitar at age 10 and started writing songs after penning an emotional tribute for a friend's family following their dad's passing in Afghanistan. She moved to Music City at 19 right after high school, chasing her dream inspired by Carrie Underwood—whom she spotted as her fave during the singer's *American Idol* audition when Kamryn was just 5—and quickly racked up accolades like Grammy Camp in 2017 and being a national finalist in the National YoungArts Foundation competition.

She's been dropping tunes since 2018, with 19 singles and an EP under her belt, including hits like "Call Me When You Hear This" (her top streamer on Spotify with over 100k plays), fresh tracks such as "Only Fans" and "BABY DON'T MISS ME TOO MUCH," and fan faves like "Doctor," "if his boots could talk," and "Empty Chair." Building a solid following with 45k+ TikTok fans (shoutout to her mini Dachshund Wrigley), she's performed at spots like the Grand Ole Opry and is now auditioning for *American Idol* Season 24, proving she's one of country's rising stars to watch.
