Levi Hummon Interview By Christian Lamitschka For Country Music News International Magazine & Radio Show Singer-songwriter Levi Hummon spent his early 20s practicing his art, but his immersion into country music started much, much earlier. From the day he was born, his father Marcus Hummon, (one of Nashville’s most prolific GRAMMY-winning songwriters [The Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts]) immersed Levi in the music scene, and It didn't take long to realize the apple didn't fall far from the tree. At 24, Levi began releasing music of his own. Cleancut and compelling, he told stories of love and loss while building a loyal fanbase that has grown with him through every bend and break. As a Nashville native who was inspired by the legacies around him and had an undeniable gift of songwriting, it was no surprise that 5 years, 30 released songs, and 100 million streams later as an independent artist, Levi had created a name for himself. In 2021, his viral Walker Hayes collaboration sensation “Paying for It” cemented Levi’s status as a rising country star. This sparked a new sense of confidence both on stage and in writing rooms that allowed him to discover the magnitude of his potential as an artist, and a new authentic version of Levi emerged. His follow-up tunes, “Bottled Up,” “For Me,” “Good Riddance,” and “Drink On” are the product of just that. Hummon says, “taking risks, finding my own voice, and showing the scars and roughness around the edges allowed me to portray the most honest version of myself”.

Kailey Nicole Interview By Christian Lamitschka For Country Music News International Magazine & Radio Show
?
Since childhood, the answer to country up-and-comer Kailey Nicole’s vocational line of questioning has always been music - and, upon listening, it should come as no surprise. An old soul, there’s a timeless elegance to her voice that pairs perfectly with a throwback sound many try to create but can’t quite emulate. “My grandma greatly influenced my love of classic country music. I grew up listening to Patsy Cline, Connie Francis, Johnny Cash, and Elvis… Some of my earliest memories were of her hanging laundry on the line and singing songs by those artists.” And with latest release, “She Gone” - a track depicts the songstress moving on and doing just fine after a breakup - Kailey sets the tone for a career with the staying power of a good old fashioned country song.
?
Originally from Las Vegas and affectionately dubbed the “human karaoke system” by her older brother, Kailey took to the stage from an early age, using a butcher block in her family’s kitchen as a platform to perform for guests at her parents’ occasional dinner parties. Hoping to appease her constant begging for voice lessons, Kailey’s mom put her in the church choir, where her love for music continued to grow. But it was an open call audition for the American Girl store in Los Angeles that set the wheels for a career in entertainment in motion.
