Armed with a pitch-perfect vocal and a knack for brutally honest storytelling, Hope, AR native Mae Estes has earned herself an impressive reputation as “a new-school torchbearer for Nashville tradition” (GRAMMY.com). Estes signed her first publishing deal in 2020 and has since racked up more than 13 million streams across platforms and over 1 million views on YouTube, independently and organically building a quickly growing fan base with her “plain-spoken truth” (The Boot). In 2022, “Thinkin’ Bout Cheatin’” became the first release from her debut EP as well as her first music video feature on CMT. That same year, she was honored with Arkansas CMA Female Vocalist of the Year for the second time in her home state. The NHL Stadium Series, the Grand Ole Opry, PBR Stadium Series, Music City Grand Prix, The Bluebird Cafe, CMA Fest, Nissan Stadium, The Country Music Hall of Fame and more have hosted this “stone-cold country newcomer” (Whiskey Riff) poised for success. Signed to Blue Highway Records, AIMP’s 2024 Rising Songwriter-Artist of the Year winner is one of the key country females to watch, being named to CMT’s Next Women of Country Class of 2024 and a slew of artist to watch lists (GRAMMY.com, iHeart Media, Absolute Radio, COWGIRL Magazine, Country Now, etc.). More new music is expected from Estes soon.
