The “energetic high-octane pop country” EP (Holler) features Kinsey’s debut country radio single, “Just Drive.”  Written by Kinsey along with Michael August and Josh Ronen and produced by Ronen, the song continues to connect online with over 25 million streams/views to date and counting, landing her on many “Ones To Watch” lists for 2022.  “Just Drive” is impacting country radio now. The song was sparked when she thought of combining country lyrics with the gritty sound of a pop/rock Paramore song. Kinsey shares: “Anyone can relate to the song if they think about a time in their life where they wanted to get away from it all…get in the car with their significant other and... just drive.” After sharing sneak peek video clips of the song on her socials, Kinsey garnered more than 7.2 million views on TikTok — and an incredible 62,500+ pre-saves prior to release.

Texas native Erin Kinsey may be a country music newcomer, but she’s been hard at work since she was 11 years old.

Now 21, she is the epitome of a 10-year overnight success who has established herself as a Nashville singer-songwriter with a bright future ahead of her.
