Drenched in sun-kissed natural beauty both inside and out, Nashville native Deana Carter didn’t take a seemingly easy route to stardom, but instead chose to defy the conventional expectations of the typical Nashville artist blueprint and make her own mark. And she did, undeniably taking the industry and fans by storm with her wildly successful multi-platinum international debut ‘Did I Shave My Legs for This?’ more than two decades ago. Anchored by the dreamy super hit ”Strawberry Wine,” Carter showcased her own blend of country and retro-rock sprinkled with the folksy singer/songwriter qualities that have garnered Deana Carter well-deserved respect and wild acclaim.

Carter co-produced ‘Did I Shave My Legs For This?’ and wrote a half-dozen of the album’s songs. The record garnered strong reviews in late summer 1996. By the end of the year, it had climbed to the top of both the country and pop charts, quickly achieving multi-platinum status, with three number one singles in a row. A “first” for the genre, Deana’s celebrated debut album held this distinction and many ground breaking achievements for more than five years and has become one of country music’s most treasured classics of the 90’s.
Carter’s superstar success continues to be evident as the chart topper “You & Tequila,” co-written with Matraca Berg and recorded by Kenny Chesney. The track received “Song of the Year” nominations from the Country Music Association, Academy of Country Music, and the Grammy Awards. “You and Tequila” also received coveted ‘Songs I Wished I’d Written’ recognition by the Nashville Songwriters Association International, something Deana treasures, coming from her hometown music community.
Carter recently added the title of label CEO to her many credits, serving as the chief of her own Little Nugget Records, where she released her most recent album, ‘Southern Way of Life.’ She recently held a Governor’s seat on the Grammy Board for the Recording Academy and served on the Producer’s & Engineer’s Wing, The Membership Committee, and held an active voice for Artists & Creators with Advocacy in Washington, D.C. throughout the last year for pandemic relief. She divides her time between Los Angeles, Florida, and Nashville, writing and producing for both the pop/rock and country markets when not on the road touring or making movies.
