Country Soul Artist Brei Carter Fuses Louisiana Roots With Military Service As 2025 CMA Ambassador

Brei Carter brings country, soul and Southern pop together through her Louisiana upbringing, gospel foundation and U.S. Army veteran background as a 2025 CMA Ambassador. The Monroe native built buzz through viral tracks including “Boots Get to Talking,” empowering anthem “Cake and Eat It Too” and Alpha Kappa Alpha tribute “Walk Yo Walk,” earning features across over 200 nationally syndicated outlets including Billboard, Guitar Girl Magazine, WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour and WSMV-TV. Her 2024 included headlining the Ford Midwest Invitational Rodeo and receiving the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award for service, leadership and commitment to uplifting others, while her 2025 appointment as Nashville Insider TV Reporter extends her reach into media alongside music. Carter holds a Doctorate in Theology, Master’s in International Relations and Bachelor’s in Business, bringing the same dedication to her artistry that defined her time serving as both enlisted soldier and officer in the U.S. Army.

The singer songwriter has opened for Tyler Farr, RVSHVD and 803Fresh while building a reputation for bold, genre bending performances that challenge what country music sounds like and represents. Carter describes her mission as creating music that heals, empowers and reminds people they can shine regardless of what they’ve experienced, a philosophy reflected in her powerhouse sound that refuses to fit neatly into traditional categories. With a new album and tour approaching, she stands as an artist redefining country music through authenticity, resilience and rhythm rooted in lived experience and academic achievement.
