Mae Estes

Hope, Ark. native Mae Estes has been having a breakout year after paying her dues in Music City, working up to three jobs at a time all while continuing to hone her craft. Estes signed her first publishing deal in 2020 and has since racked up more than 13 million streams across platforms and over 1 million views on YouTube, independently and organically building a quickly growing fan base with her “plain-spoken truth” (The Boot). In 2022, “Thinkin’ Bout Cheatin’” became the first release from her debut EP as well as her first music video feature on CMT. That same year, Mae was honored with Arkansas CMA Female Vocalist of the Year for the second time in her home state. The NHL Stadium Series, the Grand Ole Opry, PBR Stadium Series, Music City Grand Prix, The Bluebird Cafe, CMA Fest, Nissan Stadium, The Country Music Hall of Fame and more have hosted this “stone-cold country newcomer” (Whiskey Riff) poised for success.  AIMP’s 2024 Rising Songwriter-Artist of the Year winner is one of the key Country females to watch, being named to CMT’s Next Women of Country Class of 2024 and a slew of artist watch lists (GRAMMY.com, iHeart Media, Wide Open Country, Cowgirl Magazine, Entertainment Focus, Country Now, etc.). Her five-track self-titled EP, Mae Estes, is out now.
