Hailing from the small farming community of Baskin, La., country music newcomer Lainey Wilson has as much grit in her as she does soul. She moved to Nashville in a bumper-pull camper trailer to pursue a career in music and has been carving her own unique place in the country music landscape ever since, already garnering early praise as “a cautious optimist with just enough scars and pragmatism to write great, universal country songs” (Taste of Country) and “one of those voices who will grab your attention and keep it” (Whiskey Riff). A natural-born storyteller, Wilson has quickly established herself as an in-demand songwriter on Music Row, landing cuts with chart-topping country artist Luke Combs as well as fellow rising country artist Kasey Tyndall and ultimately capturing the attention of both WME for booking and publishing powerhouse Sony / ATV, which signed her to an exclusive publishing deal in late 2017. Wilson is a co-writer on all six songs from her current self-titled EP, which she released via digital retailers and streaming platforms on April 13, 2018.see
