WHITNEY MILLER

“15 MINUTES OF FAME”

Country music singer-songwriter

Whitney Miller released her new single “15 Minutes of Fame,” premiered by People.com. The former Miss Texas and Miss United States, kickboxing commentator and MMA fighter is no stranger to hard work and dedication.

Never one to shy away from difficult topics, Miller has taken the pain from a broken relationship and turned the experience into a lifelong lesson that most can learn from. With lyrics like “When it comes your time, I’ll bring the wine and we can make a toast to the next girl in line,” it is clear that she isn’t looking back for one second.

In a short period of time, Whitney Miller is already making her mark in country music with several new singles and a debut album slated for 2023, proving to the world that she isn’t going to settle with just “15 Minutes of Fame” in a man or her music!

STRUGGLE JENNINGS, WAYLON’S GRANDSON

Struggle Jennings, the grandson of Waylon Jennings and Jessie Colter has been nothing short of a true Outlaw from a long line of gangsters, outlaws, and rockstars, making his family lineage proud. An RIAA Certified Gold-selling artist for his collab with Jelly Roll on Fall In The Fall, and #1 Billboard Charting artist for “God We Need You Now”. Struggle has revolutionized a new style of music, blending Country and rap influences and making ground-breaking country rap styles.

Contrary to his family’s upbringing, Struggle and his single mom grew up in lowincome housing, and being the black sheep of the family, he fought through the streets of West Nashville and into the studio where he would create the foundation for what has become his contribution to the Jennings family legacy.

Since being released from prison in 2016, where he served a five-year drugrelated sentence, Struggle has performed for sold-out crowds across the country and released multiple projects. He is finally poised to secure his position as the Godfather of the burgeoning Outlaw Hip Hop Rock & Roll movement.
