The People’s Choice Country Awards will name Kane Brown this year’s Country Champion at its upcoming award show later this month.
Brown follows Wynonna Judd as the second Country Champion Award recipient.
Brown’s career includes 11 Country radio number-one songs. He is noted as the first black artist to headline and sell out Boston’s Fenway Park in 2023. His numerous awards and recognition include the Country Radio Seminar (CRS) 2024 Artist Humanitarian Award.
Jen Neal, Executive VP of Live Events & Specials, NBCUniversal, said, “Since the beginning of his career, Kane Brown has ensured that his legacy will extend beyond music. His dedication to empowering and supporting younger generations is nothing short of inspiring, and we’re thrilled to honor him with the Country Champion Award.”
