A native of northern California, Tyler Rich was named one of Rolling Stone’s “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know.” The article touts Rich as “the newest member of country music’s radio-minded incoming class, with a homecoming king’s swagger and a valedictorian’s songwriting smarts.” Rich has amassed more than 339 million total global streams of his debut album Two Thousand Miles. The record includes his gold-certified hit “The Difference” and newer releases “Better Than You’re Used To” and “A Little Bit of You.”

Kylie Morgan began writing songs when she was 12 years old. At 19, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and worked with Shane McAnally and Ben Johnson to create her debut extended play record (EP) “Love, Kylie.” She has had over 50 million on-demand streams and 63,000 Amazon song requests. Kylie was selected as one of three artists for the County Music Association (CMA) Kixstart Program and was the only country artist of Vevo’s 2021 DSCVR Artists to Watch—a program highlighting 19 of the world’s top emerging artists. In 2020, her single “Break Things” amassed more than five million streams in five weeks.
