CARLY PEARCE
Fiercely rooted in the classics, the girl who left her Kentucky home and high school at 16 to take a job at Dollywood has grown into a woman who embraces the genre’s forward progression. GRAMMY® Award-winning singer-songwriter Carly Pearce lit a fire with her debut album Every Little Thing and the PLATINUM-certified history-making title track, and she hasn’t slowed down since. Her musical style is rooted in the contemporary country and bluegrass genres.

BIOGRAPHY
Born Carly Cristyne Slusser in Taylor Mill, Kentucky in April 24, 1990, Carly Pearce developed interest in country music from her grandparents, who regularly played it at home during her childhood. Her stage name “Pearce” is based on her grandfather's last name. At age 11, Carly Pearce performed regularly with a bluegrass band. She also performed in church and tent revival shows. At age 16, Carly Pearce auditioned for the "Country Crossroads" show, a program part of the Dollywood theme park. After being offered the job, she convinced her parents to move to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee (the location of Dollywood), and to let her drop out of high school and she enrolled in a homeschooling program.
Carly Pearce moved to Nashville, Tennessee, at age 19 to pursue a country music career and she signed a developmental deal with Sony Music Nashville in 2012, but her producer was fired from the label. With the producer's termination, Carly Pearce lost her deal with Sony. After losing this opportunity, she took a series of part-time jobs to help make ends meet. Among these jobs was cleaning Airbnb's.
While working part-time jobs, Carly Pearce began networking with other performers and executives in the country music industry. Around this time, she met Pete Fisher, who was the vice president and general manager of the Grand Ole Opry. Fisher provided Carly Pearce the opportunity to perform on the Opry in 2015 (which was before she had a recording contract). From their professional relationship, Fisher informed record producer Busbee about her musical abilities and interests. In 2015, Busbee signed her to a developing artist deal. In 2016, Pearce was featured on the track "Wasn't That Drunk" by the country group Josh Abbott Band. Her performance on the song allowed Pearce to gain exposure to country radio stations.
In 2016, Busbee produced a track co-written by Carly Pearce entitled "Every Little Thing". Released independently, it was picked up for radio airplay on Sirius XM's The Highway channel, where it received widespread recognition. Following its recognition, she was offered multiple recording contracts, and she ultimately chose to sign with Big Machine Records. Since then, she released four albums: Every Little Thing (2017), Carly Pearce (2020), 29: Written in Stone (2021 and Hummingbird (2024).
