If there is one thing that truly defines the music industry in Nashville, Tennessee, it is that it provides the perfect avenue for aspiring and rising music artists to get the opportunities they seek to be appreciated for their artistry. From Dolly Parton to Billy Ray Cyrus, Tim McGraw, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean and Taylor Swift, these big names in the industry have all known fame and fortune, thanks to the thriving music scene in the area. Masked singer Chezney McGoat, however, is redefining the music industry in Nashville by choosing to remain anonymous to offer fans a new experience and appreciation of his genuine talent.
Interestingly, he is a unique mix of the musical stylings of Tim McGraw and Kenney Chesney, both known for the feel-good vibes of their music. By choosing to be a masked singer, Chezney is inspiring music lovers to appreciate songs in a new and elevated way.
The promising music artist recently released his latest single titled “Waves,” which generated a phenomenal response from music lovers across the country. Much to his surprise, the single hit #4 in Canada on the iTunes Country Music Charts and #69 on the USA iTunes and Apple Music Country Music Charts. If anything, he has made quite an impression among music fans of all ages. An emerging artist such as himself has achieved more than what is normally expected in the music business.
“Waves” features the background vocals of well-loved country singer Lexi Sidders, a 22-year-old rising star; She became popular at the age of 19 after becoming a top contender at the MyCollabStreet Singing Contest and her exceptional talent also caught the attention of singer Keith Urban, who asked her to sing at his show.
The WAVES single is considered a musical powerhouse, written by award-winning songwriters, including Maks Gabriel, Heidi Raye, and Georgia Thomas. It was produced by the unmatched Maks Gabriel and The Foxboro studios in Nashville.
Before pursuing a music career, Chezney spent a lot of time in farmlands. The decision to launch his personal brand was not out of a desire to become famous but mostly to have the freedom to create the kind of music he wanted. As an independent artist, he calls the shots. But, at the end of the day, he is all about giving people good tunes over a quiet afternoon and a bottle of beer.
Beyond the mask, Chezney is a passionate and dedicated animal rights advocate who confidently took on Khloe Kardashian, Kevin Hart, Sophie Turner, and Maren Morris for using goats for yoga and entertainment. In addition, he is a proud ambassador for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), a non-profit organization across America.
Introducing something new in an industry that maintains very high and competitive standards for aspiring music artists is quite a tedious endeavor. Chezney McGoat has proven, however, that authenticity and real talent can definitely go head-to-head with rising artists who have the support of big recording companies and their resources. Without a doubt, the masked singer will become an inspiration to multiple young artists who are exploring the possibility of launching a music career.
