Kenny Chesney is a country music superstar, although his first release, titled "In My Wildest Dreams", was released to lackluster sales in 1994 on independent label Capricorn Records. However, singles from the album proved that there was a fan base for Kenny's music, and his subsequent albums have proven this.
The success of Kenny's music is remarkable. Of the first thirteen albums he released, eleven were certified gold or higher by the RIAA. His debut may not have sold record numbers on Capricorn Records, but the independent label's release spurred two singles, "The Tin Man" and "Whatever It Takes" that garnered enough success to prove that Kenny had star potential. Capricorn Records decided to discontinue publishing country music later that year, but Kenny was destined for bigger things.
Today, Kenny Chesney has released more than thirty top ten country hits, and that includes seventeen that made it all the way to the number one spot. With four consecutive AMC Entertainer of the Year Awards under his belt and six CMA awards, there's no doubt he's a country music powerhouse. In 2007, his summer tour was the top grossing country music tour of the year.
Born in Knoxville, Tennesse in 1968, Kenny Chesney's youth in the heart of country music was fueled by an early Christmas gift of a guitar, which he taught himself to play. After joining a bluegrass club while attending East Tennessee State University, he recorded a record on his own in 1989 which he used to sell at gigs to help pay for his dream. Kenny graduated from East Tennessee State with a degree in marketing and with a dream in his back pocket of a career singing country music.
