CMA Awards 2019: Jenee Fleenor becomes the first woman to win Musician of the Year

The female crooner is not only the first woman to be nominated for the category at the CMA Awards but also the first woman to top the list, among powerful contenders.
PUBLISHED NOV 14, 2019

Jenee Fleenor who has been associated with Blake Shelton and house band 'The Voice' takes a big win home as the first-ever female country singer to be awarded the Musician of the Year at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards. This sure is an unprecendented addition to her musical repertoire. Competing in the category with other leading names like Mac McAnally, Paul Franklin, Ilya Toshinsky, and Derek Wells, it is definitely a moment to cherish for the entire country music family globally, particularly for women in country music. Singers like Fleenor stand as real inspirations for female singers and makes us all proud. 

The category of Musician of the Year was only created in 1988. And ever since, there has been no female singer who was either nominated in the category or even took the award home. This sure makes it a big moment for the Country Music Association as well, especially in the wake of female empowerment in every segment of the performing arts. 

For those who are still new to Fleenor's musical journey, here's what you should know about this versatile and talented female crooner. Jenee Fleenor came to the home of country music at Nashville about 18 years ago. And then there was no looking back for her. She soon joined bluegrassers Larry Cordle and Lonesome Standard Time, followed by several gigs with Terri Clark, Martina McBride. 

With women like Jenee Fleenor setting benchmarks in modern country music in America, the future of female singers look extremely promising and her fans and the entire music family cannot be more proud. 

Stay tuned as we bring you more such exciting updates as CMA Awards 2019 continues live from Nashville.
