Early Life and Background 

Lainey was born on 19 May 1992 in Baskin, Louisiana. This is a small town in the UK with just 250 people. Her parents had ordinary jobs.

Nothing more is known about her sister so far.  Her family was fond of listening to classic country music by Buck Owens and Glen Campbell.

Lainey went to a local high school in Louisiana and started performing in various events right at the age of nine. Her first performance was made at Grand Ole Opry and she developed a high interest in the genre of country music. Later on, Wilson released her first Extended Play (EP) on the platform MySpace and titled it Country Girls Rule. Soon after this, she started performing at various occasions such as parties and festivals across her hometown.  

Professional Career 

After finishing her high school in Louisiana, Wilson made her life-changing decision in August 2011 to move out to Nashville, Tennessee. She struggled for her living in the city and released her first self-titled label with the label Cupit in 2014. Another album was released two years later with the label Lone Chief. This was the one that helped her gain an audience and keep moving. Lainey then released another EP in 2018 which provided her the opportunity to sign a publishing deal with Sony/ATV.  

The following years brought breakout success for her. Lainey’s works were recognized by BBR music label in 2018 and she ended up signing with the label. This association led to the release of the third EP “Redneck Hollywood” in 2019 and several singles, including “Dirty Looks”. Both of these were praised by critics and other music artists. Her music was noticed by Country Music Television and they featured her in their shows. Lainey’s songs were also featured in another show “Yellowstone” by Paramount Network. 

Her breakout single came up in 2020 when the BBR group issued her song “Things A Man Oughta Know” on their radio. This song gained high media attention and it topped the Billboard Country Airplay. In 2021, Lainey also appeared as a supporting actor for the project “Back in the Saddle Tour” by Jason Aldean. Later, she collaborated with Cole Swindell on the song “Never Say Never”. This song was a part of the fourth album for Swindell and became Wilson’s second single to top the Billboard Country chart.     

Soon, Lainey became the fourth artist to receive six nominations in her first nomination for the 56th Annual Country Music Association Awards. Next year, she received seven nominations for the 57th Award show. This time, she won five of these awards including the Top Entertainer of the Year in 2023.
