In 2011, Mickey Guyton signed to Capitol Nashville, becoming the only Black woman at the time backed by a major country label. After 10 years, her debut single “Better Than You Left Me” in 2015 and three EPs, the 38-year-old singer has become a household name.
In May 2020, a time fraught with Black Lives Matter protests after an onslaught of police brutality, Guyton released a snippet of her single “Black Like Me” on Instagram. The video amassed over 8,000 views, and Spotify contacted Guytonteam asking for the completed version, later adding it to their Hot Country playlist. Now, the song has over 8 million streams on Spotify.
