Who is Lainey Wilson?
Born in a small town in Baskin, Louisiana, Lainey Denay Wilson grew up in a family who were country music enthusiasts.
"Country music for me and my family, it was more than music," she told The Advocate. "We lived the words to those songs."
She has cited Glen Campbell, Buck Owens, Hank Williams, and the great Dolly Parton as her earliest musical influences.
While growing up, listening to country music made her drawn into the genre; it was the Grand Ole Opry performance she attended when she was nine that cemented her love for music and performance.
With fewer platforms for her to express her art, Wilson took to Myspace and released her own EP called Country Girls Rule. After then, thanks to Miley Cyrus and the worldwide sensation that is "Hannah Montana," Wilson made use of his blonde locks to impersonate Hannah Montana at Birthday parties all across Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
