KANE BROWN (born October 21, 1993) is a Georgia country music singer and songwriter. First garnering a mass following on social media, he released his debut extended play, "Closer" in June 2015
and followed it up with the single, "Used to Love You Sober" in October of that year. After Brown signed with RCA Nashville in early 2016, the song was included on his second EP and major label
debut, Chapter 1 in March 2016. He released his eponymous debut studio album later that year in December. The album spawned the single "What Ifs" (featuring Lauren Alaina), and in October 2017, Brown became the first artist to have simultaneous number ones on all five main Billboard country charts. Brown released his second album, "Experiment", in November 2018, which became his first number one album on the Billboard 200.
Brown was raised in rural northwest Georgia and in the Chattanooga, Tennessee, area. Sometimes homeless, Brown's family moved around northwest Georgia when he was younger from Rossville, GA to Fort Oglethorpe, GA to LaFayette, GA before finally settling in Red Bank, Tennessee. As a result, he attended many schools, among them Lakeview Fort Oglethorpe High School in Fort Oglethorpe, GA where he sang in the choir with Lauren Alaina (country music artist from Rossville, GA), the runner-up on Season 10 of American Idol. He also attended Red Bank, Ridgeland, and Soddy Daisy High School.[16] After graduation, he lived with his grandmother, who had also helped raise him.
Brown is married to Katelyn Brown, who is also a singer. He proposed to her on Easter Sunday in 2017 and announced their engagement during a concert in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a short time later in April 2017. They were married at Mint Springs Farm in Nolensville, Tennessee, on October 12, 2018, with about 200 relatives and friends in attendance. On April 15, 2019, Brown announced they were expecting their first child. Less than a month later, on May 1, 2019, he revealed the baby was a girl during a walk down the red carpet at the Billboard Music Awards. On October 29, 2019, Katelyn gave birth to their first child, a daughter. On December 31, 2021, Brown announced that Katelyn had given birth to their second daughter a day prior. On June 18, 2024, the couple welcomed their third child and first son.
Brown has a myriad of country music hit songs including, "What Ifs", "Heaven", "Lose It", "Good As You", "One Thing Right", "Cool Again", "Famous Friends", "Thank God" and numerous others.
In 2018, Brown won the ACM Favorite Country Male Artist, Favorite Country Album and Favorite Country Song Award. In 2021, Brown won the ACM Video of The Year Award, as well as many other music awards and nominations.
