.CayleeHammack talks life-changing Luke Bryan call & why 'the future is female' at CMAedu Executive Summit
During the final artist panel held on Tuesday, Capitol Records Nashville recording artist Caylee Hammack took the stage beside her all-female team of manager Mary Hilliard Harrington, UMG Nashville president Cindy Mabe and Universal Music Publishing Group vp of creative Cyndi Forman to detail her journey to Nashville.
Hammack grew up 30 minutes from Bryan’s home of Leesburg, where her father worked. Bryan’s mother also worked for the city of Leesburg, and after learning about her colleague’s daughter, she asked to meet with the budding singer-songwriter. Hammack brought a burned CD of her music, never expecting it to make its way to Bryan himself. “I didn't think anything of it until a few weeks later I got a phone call from a Nashville number and it was Luke.
“I believe that there was a time in country music when we were surrounded by characters. These are people that had these ginormous personalities when they walked into a room. It was the Toby Keiths of the world. It was the Alan Jacksons of the world. Even though he might be the quietest person on the planet, you knew exactly what he stood for and what he was about,” she said. “We’re now surrounded by a bunch of people that look the same, sound the same, sing the same, talk the same.
