Despite facing challenges in joining a genre often dominated by white artists, she remains determined to make her mark as a Black woman in country. Her passion for country music stems from her upbringing, where she developed her skills and even received a scholarship for yodeling.
With her new country album on the horizon, K. Michelle has teased that the project takes inspiration from iconic artists such as Tobey Keith, Alison Krauss, and The Judds, indicating a strong bluegrass emphasis. To connect with her fans and introduce her country alter ego, ‘Puddin,’ she previously released a country-infused track titled “Tennessee” on her last R&B album.
In a significant step for her music career, K. Michelle signed with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, the largest independent country label, solidifying her commitment to making a name for herself in the country music scene. As she gears up for her concert at Minglewood Hall, both her established fan base and new listeners eagerly await what promises to be an exciting evolution in her musical journey.
