Sam Hunt is up for three American Music Awards later this month including Favorite Country Male Artist, Favorite Country Album for Montevallo and overall New Artist of the Year. Sam is honored to be nominated and honored and humbled to represent Nashville and the Country Music format at the show.
“When you put it in the big picture like that, I sort feel like in some of those categories, I’m not just representing myself as an artist, but I’m representing country music in Nashville and the genre and all these other people who I feel like would be much worthier than me to represent the genre,” says the Georgia native. “It’s an honor…I was flattered to be recognized not just myself as an artist, but as someone who’s a part of this awards show as a representative of country music. So, that’s bigger than me and it’s something that I feel and appreciate.”
The 2015 American Music Awards will broadcast live on Sunday, November 22 at 8:00pm ET on ABC.
Sam is currently making his way up the country charts with his latest single, “Break Up in a Small Town.”
