ABOUT CHANEL YATES

Chanel Yates is the Pocket Sized Cowgirl bringing big personality and unapologetic humour to country music.

Independently, Chanel has amassed more than 20 million streams and built a rapidly expanding international audience, with her music connecting through its mix of wit, heartbreak and real life chaos. Her music has earned support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2 with Darius Rucker, The Ty Bentli show on Apple Music, Introducing, Absolute Country, Smooth Country, Holler and Song Suffragettes, alongside editorial support across Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. Her catalogue includes multiple million stream releases, with “Big Girl Boots”, “Shotgun Seat”, “Colourblind” and “Once Upon a Time” becoming standout moments in her career.

In 2025, “Big Girl Boots” became a defining moment for Chanel. The empowering country anthem sparked a viral line dance that continues to see fans around the world share their own videos and stories, taking the song beyond 10 million streams. The track was named Holler’s Song of the Year and featured on BBC’s Best Live Music playlist, becoming the centrepiece of the enchanting world Chanel has built around her music.

That momentum has continued with her latest releases. “Once Upon a Time” generated more than 5 million social views before release, amassed over 7,000 presaves and surpassed 3 million streams within its first eight weeks. The release further cemented Chanel’s ability to turn songs into colourful worlds that audiences want to step inside.

That connection with her audience is equally evident onstage. Chanel sold out her first London headline show in under two minutes, prompting a venue upgrade, before going on to sell out her entire UK headline tour. She has performed at C2C, was one of the first country artists to ever be on the Reading and Leeds lineup, Tramlines, The Long Road and Country Calling, supported Garth Brooks at BST Hyde Park and toured the UK and Europe with Alexandra Kay, alongside appearances with artists including Carly Pearce and set to hit the road in Feb 2027 with Tyler Braden.

With upcoming releases continuing to push her sound forward and an audience that grows with every release, Chanel Yates is breaking boundaries, she’s the sister you didnt know you needed and your new bestie in country music.
