Summary

Kylie Frey — the princess of Texas country music — has built her career the hard way, turning early rejection from label executives into an undeniable run of success with 12 No. 1 songs on Texas country charts. Raised in a rodeo family as a middle child, Kylie’s independence, grit, and quiet confidence were forged early and still define both her personality and her sound. She never planned on becoming a mom, but motherhood sparked a profound personal and creative rebirth, adding new depth to her songwriting as she learned how to balance life on the road with a child by her side. Her latest EP, Half a Mind, features the standout single “Fort Worth” with John Randall, while she continues work on what she says is her most personal album yet — one that reflects resilience, growth, and staying true to yourself no matter how long the road takes.
