Mickey Guyton is a groundbreaking American country music artist who has made a significant impact with her powerful vocals and poignant songwriting. Born Candace Mycale Guyton on June 17, 1983, in Arlington, Texas, she moved to Nashville to pursue her music career and signed with Capitol Records Nashville in 2011. Guyton's journey in the industry has been marked by perseverance and trailblazing achievements, including her recognition as the first solo Black female artist to earn a Grammy nomination in a country music category.

Guyton's music delves into personal themes of love, empowerment, and social commentary, and she has become a critical voice in a genre historically dominated by white artists. Her 2021 album, "Remember Her Name," which includes the powerful title track and the anthemic “Love My Hair,” serves as a testament to her resolve to embrace her identity and highlight the experiences of Black women in America. With a catalog that includes emotive ballads like "If I Were A Boy" and festive tracks like "Christmas Isn't Christmas," Mickey Guyton has carved out a unique space for herself in the music world, combining traditional country music elements with her singular brand of storytelling that resonates with a diverse audience.
