Martina McBride

Country singer and artist, Martina McBride was born in 1996 in the city of Kansas. She grew up on a dairy farm together with her sister and two brothers. Through The Schiffters, her father’s band, she became more interested in country music, especially how the members sang and played the keyboard at local gigs. After finishing high school, she headed to college before she eventually realized she was interested in singing. Even though Martina was incredibly talented, she didn’t start easy. She began by performing odd jobs such as selling T-shirts to fans at Garth Brooks’ concerts. Her patience finally paid off when she caught Brooks’ attention in 1990. She was offered a chance to perform as his opening act, signing a contract with RCA right before the tours started. In 1992, Martina decided to try it out on her own, and she released her debut album known as The Time Has Come. This followed yet another album in 1993 known as The Way That I Am, which included a hit single, My Baby Loves Me, which rose straight to number 2 on music charts.

Career Accomplishments

As years went by, Martina released a string of new hits that made her very popular. In fact, in 1995 she released Wild Angels, a hit that rose to number one single in music charts. Her next album in 1997, Evolution, became a double-platinum record, bringing her a string of hits such as Wrong Again, A Broken Heart, Happy Girl, and Valentine. These singles earned her much-needed critical acclaim, leading her to an award for the Best Female Vocalist of The Year. In 1999 she was among the few artists who were chosen to perform for the then president, Bill Clinton. Success seemed to be following Martina wherever she went. In 2002 she was again offered an award for the Best Female Vocalist thanks to her album, Greatest Hits. The success of singles in the album caught the attention of country music organizations, such as the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association, who went ahead to award her the Top Vocalist Trophy in 2003. In 2007 Martina returned to the studios, creating her next album, Waking Up Laughing, which saw her nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year again in 2009.
