With backwoods bathed vocals and bona fide southern swagger, recently nominated Texas Regional Radio's New Female Vocalist of the Year and 2023 Texas Country Music Awards Emerging Artist of the Year, Payton Howie is on the rise and one to keep your eye on.
This Texas trailblazer and Nashville recording artist is branded as the ultimate ‘All American Girl’ by Scenes Media, and is gaining nationwide notoriety with features from CMT, Guitar Girl Magazine, The Boot, Country Rebel, Fox News, and repetitive seasonal invites to NBC's The Voice and American Idol from executive producers.
Payton unapologetically embodies the untamed tradition that country music was built on, and she’s hellbent on bringing her own grit to the honky tonk. Not many can say they’ve shared the stage with Carrie Underwood, and Howie is one of even fewer who can say they were handpicked to do so at the age of 5. She has multiple songs featured on several of Spotify’s sought after editorial playlists and her debut EP, “Youngblood”, has attained over 1.5 million streams. The accompanying music video for "Never Go Home" shows off her non-stop party attitude and the music videos for "Keep Her Breathing" and "Freedom" bleed red, white, and blue.
Payton is honored to have shared stages with Chris Janson, Clay Walker, William Clark Green, Pam Tillis, Aaron Watson, Bret Michaels, The Bellamy Brothers, Ian Munsick, The Band Perry, Warren Zeiders, Billy Ray Cyrus, Hunter Hayes, Walker County, Gary Allan, Jack Ingram, Coffey Anderson, Josh Ward, Laci Kaye Booth, Casey Donahew, Janie Fricke, Tyler Farr, Chayce Beckham, Tracy Byrd and many more.
With her latest single, Orange, released summer 2023, Payton Howie is scorching country music with a brand that’s hers alone.
