He has been a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2001. Paisley has written or co-written 20 of his 23 #1 singles with the first being in 1999 with “He Didn’t Have To Be.” “Perfect Storm,” was #1 on the country charts for two weeks and is from his chart topping 2014 album Moonshine in the Trunk. His current single is “Crushin’ It” from the same album. He is currently headlining his Country Nation World Tour presented by KRAFT Cheese through March 2015.

Texas native, Mickey Guyton’s debut single is the powerful “Better Than You Left Me” which she co-wrote.  The single broke Country Aircheck history for the most one–week adds for a debut act’s first single.  Mickey has appeared on many Who To Watch for in 2015 lists including NPR, Billboard, Spotify, Yahoo! Music, Huffington Post, Mashable, Taste of Country and Nashville Lifestyles. She was also recently featured in the Wall Street Journal and “Better Than You Left Me” was USA Today’s Song Of The Week. On January 10, Mickey made her Grand Ole Opry debut at the historic Ryman Auditorium.  Her emotional and powerful performance brought the audience to a spontaneous standing ovation.  She is currently putting the finishing touches on her Capitol Records Nashville debut album.

Nashville, TN (January 12, 2015) – Capitol Records Nashville’s Mickey Guyton celebrates the debut of her first single and video for “Better Than You Left Me” today. With an impressive 79 adds at country radio today, Mickey’s single debut of “Better Than You Left Me” is the highest one-week add total on a debut act’s first single in Country Aircheck history.  “Better Than You Left Me” is also the No. 1 most added song at Country radio this week.  The single was co-written by Mickey, Nathan Chapman, Jennifer Hanson and Jenn Schott.  This past Saturday night Mickey made her Grand Ole Opry debut on the historic Ryman Auditorium stage.  Her emotional and powerful performance brought the audience to their feet.

“I can’t believe I performed on the Ryman stage for my first Grand Ole Opry appearance,” shares Mickey.  “It’s been such an incredible journey to get to today and I am so excited to share my first single and video with the world.  I can’t thank Country radio enough for being so kind to me and accepting of my music.”

The Texas native has appeared on several Who To Watch in 2015 lists including NPR, Billboard, Spotify,Yahoo! Music, Huffington Post, Mashable, Taste of Country and Nashville Lifestyles.

“Guyton is quite possibly the best female voice to come along since Carrie Underwood. She’s an impact artist, no doubt!”

Billboard

“…giving mainstream country insiders hope that the genre will welcome another young woman into its still-pretty-macho top echelon.”

NPR 

“…if you’ve seen her get standing ovations from radio programmers at her private showcases, you’d be hard-pressed to bet against Guyton, who has the good looks, sweet spirit, and — most importantly — serious vocal chops to go all the way in the genre.”

Also today, Mickey releases her first music video for “Better Than You Left Me.”  The video can be viewed here.  Directed by Peter Zavadil, the video stars Mickey’s real life best friends and roommates as well as her dog Charlie.

Newcomer Mickey Guyton hits radio with her debut single, “Better Than You Left Me,” on Monday, nearly three years after signing her record deal with Capitol Nashville. It hasn’t been roses and riches for the Texas native in those three years, since she’s been working on her album and working another job to pay the bills.

Mickey says people think once you sign a record deal, money isn’t a problem anymore. That isn’t the case. “I got my record deal, and it was my saving grace,” recalls Mickey. “It felt like I wouldn’t have to worry about money, and I was just going to focus on my album, and it’s just not the case. Your bills still have to be paid. You still have things happen where you have to fork out a whole bunch of money, where you’re like, ‘Well, there that goes!’ Once I moved to Nashville, got my record deal and was focusing on my music, and then I realized my money was running out…So, I drove my little self over to Nordstrom and got a job in the lingerie department. So, Monday through Thursday, I wrote, and then Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I worked.”

“I look back at some of my pictures and I had lost so much weight because I wasn’t even able to eat, because I was constantly on the go,” Mickey adds. “You do have to make a living for yourself. I know other artists who’ve had to do that or who got their car repo’d because they couldn’t pay their bills, because it’s really truly so hard. You never know when your money’s coming in, but it makes you a stronger person, and it makes being in this room talking about my life that much sweeter.”

Mickey just made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry (at the Ryman Auditorium), and she declared it, “Hands down, one of the best moments of my life.”

Mickey Guyton will release her debut single and debut video, “Better Than You Left Me,” on Monday (January 12th). Check out the sneak peek below.
