Kane Brown’s Journey to Stardom: From FedEx to Festival Headliner
Country music star Kane Brown recently took a moment at Stagecoach Festival to reflect on his journey to success, his new music, and the exciting milestones in his personal life.
Stagecoach and Stardom
Brown noted that his return to Stagecoach was a much different experience than his first time two years prior. “Not a lot of people knew who I was,” he recalled, a stark contrast to his current status as a fan favorite. Now, he’s focused on “getting in front of new fans” and showing people a good time. He also opened up about his friendship with fellow superstar Jason Aldean, describing him as a mentor and “brother beside me” on tour.
The interview also touched on his impressive career accolades, including his ACM success and multiple nominations at the Billboard Music Awards. He humbly admitted that he was honored to be recognized alongside music’s biggest names. When asked where he was five years ago, he said he was working at FedEx or Target, and that he still finds it surprising that he’s now performing on stage at major awards shows.
Music, Family, and Future Plans
Brown’s music video for the song “Learning” was a highlight of the conversation. He shared that the video, which features his mother, reflects his childhood and was a deeply personal project. He also proudly announced that he and his wife, Katelyn, were expecting their first child. He described the moment they heard the baby’s heartbeat at the hospital as “more real” and emotional than they ever could have imagined.
The conversation wrapped up with some fun, quick-fire questions. Brown shared that he can’t leave home without his Xbox, phone, and wife. He also revealed that if he wasn’t a singer, he would “probably be working at FedEx.” Looking ahead, he plans to spend the rest of 2019 on tour with Jason Aldean, working on new music, and enjoying time with his growing family.
