Mickey Guyton on Bucking the Odds in Country: ‘Black Women Inspire Me — They’re Not Being Silent’
Mickey Guyton is an honoree for Variety's Power of Women: Nashville. She discusses her experience as one of country's boldest singers.
When it’s pointed out to her that she’s one of the most respected women in Nashville for her talent, perseverance and mentoring, Guyton says, “I appreciate that,” and adds, “It’s crazy to even think that I’m admired like that, when I’m just wanting everybody to feel loved and accepted and seen.” She brought the Times Square ball down this past New Year’s Eve, singing John Lennon’s “Imagine.” She performed her own anthem of country inclusivity, “All American,” on the opening night of last summer’s Democratic National Convention. Her primary producer, for years, has been Karen Koslowski, and her latest album’s writing credits includes the likes of Jenna Andrews, Jessica Cayne, Autumn McEntire, Victoria Banks, Emma-Lee and Abbey Cone.
