Tiera Kennedy

Tiera is the host of a highly personal radio show, The Tiera Show, on Apple Music Country. But she’s also an accomplished artist, as showcased on her sunny, self-titled 2021 EP and that same year’s single “Gentleman." She’s been singing since she was in elementary school in Birmingham, Alabama, where she auditioned for the part of Ariel in a school production of The Little Mermaid. Since making the move to Nashville, the singer-songwriter was included in CMT’s LISTEN UP roster and was named one of 2020’s Next Women of Country. On her radio show, Tiera brings her up-close perspective to what’s new in country—but also incorporates other sounds. “My heart is in country music, but I draw inspiration from all different genres," she told Apple Music. “So you’re going to hear everything from country to R&B, the classics to the new, and all the feel-good songs that set fire to your soul.”
