Let me introduce myself

Rising singer/songwriter Tiera Kennedy is emerging as one of the most exciting voices in the format - injecting Country music with a breath of vitality. The Alabama native’s unique sound - an earnest storytelling-based country laced with the influence of the R&B she was raised on - stems from equal parts nature and nurture. She credits her celestial singing voice to God, while crediting her country music songwriting prowess to what organically flows from her pen. Lighting a fire with her independently released self-titled EP, Nashville Scene cited Tiera as "the total package" and "a writer who has learned how to write for their own voice at a young age," while American Songwriter concurs, hailing her as "one of Nashville's most promising young singer-songwriters." Formally introducing her artistry with debut single "Found It In You", a poignant love song inspired by her relationship with her husband and creative director Kamren Kennedy, Tiera showed off her playful side with subsequent releases like the effervescent "Gentleman" and jubilant ode to home state soirees on "Alabama Nights." 

Landing on several of 2022's most impressive Artist to Watch Lists, including MT's Listen Up, MusicRow's Next Big Thing and Pandora's Country Artist to Watch, Tiera took those songs and more on the road, opening for artists including Kelsea Ballerini and Danielle Bradbery, while playing festivals across the country. 

As she readies her forthcoming full-length debut album, Tiera delivers the project's lead single “I Ain’t A Cowgirl" on April 26th. Forthcoming album standouts only deepen that narrative, taking listeners on a journey through the process of finding oneself as a person and artist amidst the shotgun start of a career and the peaks and valleys that followed - all-the-while sonically maintaining that one-car-only lane niche Tiera’s carved for herself in country music due to her commitment to authenticity.  

 As the host of Apple Music Country’s, The Tiera Show, Tiera Kennedy puts her stamp on the genre daily.
