Mickey Guyton (born c. 1984) is an American country music singer. She is signed to Capitol Records Nashville, and has released her debut single "Better Than You Left Me".
Guyton was born c. 1984 in Arlington, Texas. She said that she was inspired to begin a singing career after, at the age of eight, she saw LeAnn Rimes sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the start of a Texas Rangers game. In 2011, Guyton signed with Capitol Records Nashville and recorded an extended play, Unbreakable three years later. Her debut album will be co-produced by Dann Huff and Nathan Chapman.
Guyton wrote her debut single, "Better Than You Left Me", with Jennifer Hanson and Jenn Schott. She debuted the single at the Grand Ole Opry on January 10, 2015, and released both it and the music video two days later.[3][4] Guyton said that the single was inspired by a breakup with a former boyfriend who "came running back to" her after she got the opportunity to sing for the President of the United States.[5] The song broke the record for most first-week adds by a debut artist's first single in Country Aircheck history.
Taste of Country named the song a "Critic's Pick" from editor Billy Dukes, who called Guyton a "pure country vocalist who relies on talent and strong songwriting before anything else". USA Today's Brian Mansfield also reviewed the single favorably, saying that it "has a soaring melody that reflects its strength of spirit."
The song debuted at number 56 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated for the week ending January 24, 2015. An article in The Guardian made note of the song's early success on the charts, particularly due to Guyton being an African American female in a genre dominated by white men. - Wikipedia
