Country and bluegrass singer, songwriter and musician Chris Stapleton moved to Nashville in 2001 to kick start his music career. Not long after arriving, Stapleton signed a publishing deal with Sea Gayle Music. He has written for artists such as artists as Adele, Luke Bryan, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Kenny Chesney, George Strait and Dierks Bentley, and has had six number ones, as well as co-writing with notable artists like Vince Gill, Peter Frampton and Sheryl Crow. Stapleton fronted Southern rock band The SteelDrivers from 2008-2010. The band won an International Bluegrass Music Association Award for "Emerging Artist of the Year" in 2009, and a year later were nominated for three Grammy Awards, including Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for the songs "Blue Side of the Mountain" and "Where Rainbows Never Die", as well as Best Bluegrass Album for Reckless. After leaving the band, Stapleton signed to Mercury Nashville, a division of Universal Music Group Nashville, as a solo artist in 2013, as well as moving his publishing deal to Warner/Chappell. His debut album, Traveller, was released in May 2015 to great critical and commercial success. Stapleton won three awards at the 2015 CMA Awards: "Album of the Year", "Male Vocalist of the Year", and "New Artist of the Year", and in December 2015, Stapleton received the CMT Artist of the Year Breakout Award.
