Cingle Records’ flagship artist Rainey Qualley was announced as one of CMT’s “Next Women of Country,” the prestigious franchise showcasing signed and unsigned female artists across CMT platforms and at NextWomen.CMT.com. Since its launch in January 2013, several alumnae — Brandy Clark, Kelsea Ballerini, Maddie & Tae, Ashley Monroe, Kacey Musgraves, Cassadee Pope and others — have found success ranging from commercial and critical acclaim to chart-topping singles and high-profile award nominations.The announcement took place at Music City Winery in Nashville.
“CMT has been incredibly supportive from the very start, and I can’t thank them enough for giving me this unbelievable opportunity,” said Rainey. “To be included in the same group with all of this talent is amazing, and I’m really looking forward to what this next year brings!”
“Rainey is an amazingly talented young artist and we are so proud of what she has accomplished in such a short amount of time. As her record label we are very thankful to our industry partners like CMT who have been supportive of new talent, says Russ Zavitson – President/Cingle Records.
This has been a big year for Qualley who released her debut TURN DOWN THE LIGHTS EP a few months ago and made her debut on the revered Opry stage. RollingStone Country also named Qualley as one of their “Top 10 New Country Artists to Watch,” and the dynamic artist has opened for several music legends, including Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams Jr. and Dave Mason. Rainey co-wrote all seven of the songs on the EP, including her debut single, “Me And Johnny Cash.”
