Nashville, TN — May 27, 2025
In a moment that feels like the beginning of something truly special, rising country artist Breanna Nix has officially signed with Capitol Records Nashville, one of Music Row’s most legendary labels—home to stars like Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley, and Luke Bryan. For Nix, a 24-year-old singer-songwriter from Beaumont, Texas, this milestone is more than just a career move—it’s a full-circle dream come true.
“It still doesn’t feel real,” Breanna said through happy tears during an exclusive sit-down interview with The Country Loop. “I used to write songs in my bedroom while listening to Carrie Underwood CDs on repeat. To think I’m now part of the same label that shaped her career… I’m just incredibly grateful.”

The Road to Nashville
Breanna’s path to stardom hasn’t been the overnight sensation tale you might expect. She grew up in a working-class family just outside of Beaumont, where her father was a diesel mechanic and her mother worked as a school cafeteria manager. Music was the heartbeat of the Nix household—George Strait on Saturday mornings, Shania Twain in the car, and the local church choir every Sunday.
By age 12, Breanna was writing her own lyrics in a battered spiral notebook, many of them inspired by the stories she heard at family gatherings and the heartbreaks she watched her friends endure. She taught herself to play guitar on a pawn-shop acoustic and began performing at coffee shops, county fairs, and any venue that would give her five minutes on stage.

Her big break came in 2022 when a video of her singing an original song, “Gravel Roads & Promises,” went viral on TikTok. Within weeks, she was flooded with messages from fans and industry professionals alike. Still, she remained grounded, continuing to write and tour small venues while developing a fiercely loyal grassroots following.
A Deal That Almost Didn’t Happen
Despite early attention from several major labels, Nix hesitated to sign anything that didn’t feel like the perfect fit. She turned down multiple offers in 2023 and early 2024, citing creative control and long-term vision as non-negotiables.
“I was terrified of losing myself in the machine,” she said. “The stories I want to tell are real, raw, and sometimes messy. I needed a team that believed in that.”
Enter Capitol Records Nashville.
The label, known for balancing artist integrity with commercial success, had been watching Nix closely since her 2022 breakout. When label president Cindy Mabe heard Breanna’s unreleased track “Paper Hearts in Gas Station Parking Lots,” she arranged a meeting the very next day.
“I knew instantly that she was something rare,” Mabe said. “Breanna has the grit of Miranda [Lambert], the storytelling soul of Kacey [Musgraves], and the powerhouse emotion of Carrie [Underwood]. But most importantly, she has her own voice—one that the world needs to hear.”
The Signing Day
The signing took place in a private ceremony at the Capitol Records tower in Nashville. Surrounded by family, friends, and new labelmates, Nix signed the contract with trembling hands and a beaming smile. Her parents flew in from Texas for the occasion, and her younger brother streamed it live to their hometown bar, where locals gathered to cheer her on.
As a surprise, the label arranged a welcome video from Carrie Underwood herself.
“Breanna, welcome to the Capitol family!” Carrie said in the video message. “I’ve been following your journey, and I’m so excited to see what you’ll bring to country music. Keep being true to yourself—you’re going to shine.”

Breanna was visibly stunned.
“I don’t even know what to say,” she whispered. “That’s Carrie freaking Underwood.”
What’s Next for Breanna Nix
The first major project under Capitol’s banner is Breanna’s debut album, tentatively titled "Dust & Daisies." Produced by Grammy-winner Jay Joyce, the album is expected to blend classic country storytelling with modern textures—heartfelt ballads, gritty southern rock influences, and even some rootsy gospel vibes.
The first single, “Backroad Baptism,” drops this July, with a full album release scheduled for fall. Early industry insiders who have heard the pre-release demos are already calling it “a career-launching masterpiece.”
But that’s not all. Nix is slated to perform at the CMA Fest 2025, her first appearance on the main stage. She’s also opening for Lainey Wilson’s summer tour, bringing her music to amphitheaters across the country. And yes—there’s even buzz about a future duet with one of her Capitol labelmates (though details are under wraps for now).
A Voice for the Underdogs
Breanna has made it clear that fame isn’t her main goal—connection is.
“I write for the girls who never quite fit in, the boys who got their hearts broken, and the folks who feel like nobody hears them,” she said. “If my songs can be a light for someone else, that’s success to me.”
She also plans to launch a nonprofit organization in 2026 focused on supporting mental health resources in rural communities, an issue she says is deeply personal.
“There were times I struggled with depression and anxiety, and I didn’t know where to turn,” she shared. “I want to be part of changing that—especially for young people out in the country where support is limited.”
