How Kane Brown’s Wife Supports His Country Music Career

Kane Brown changes traditional country music rules by blending hip-hop, R&B, and pop into his unique style. When you listen to his music, such as his hit "I Can Feel It," you experience country with steel guitar, but then, soaring guitars take over, and the beat has a distinctly urban feel.

His songs are catchy, with touching and often profound lyrics. Aside from his hip-hop urban appearance, Brown is truly a country singer with just enough twang to his voice and steel guitar in the background to root him in the genre.

Kane Brown ruled social media by performing country covers and posting them on YouTube and Facebook, where they soon went viral. He auditioned for American Idol and didn't make the cut, but he got ontoThe X Factor. 

Brown didn't like that they wanted him to be in a boy band, so he started his own style of music. In 2015, he released his album Closer , funded through a Kickstarter campaign. Record labels took notice of Brown's success, and in 2016, he signed with RCA Nashville. Hits such as "What Ifs" and "Heaven" from his self-titled debut album landed him on the charts and made him a prominent figure in the country music world.

Today, Brown has numerous awards from the Country Music Association, Academy of Country Music, and American Music Awards. He couldn't have managed this success and his rise to fame without the help and support of his wife, Katelyn Jae Brown.

Katelyn attended West Chester University before dropping out to pursue her passion for music. After signing a deal with producer Johnny Wright, who worked with NYSNC and Britney Spears, Katelyn released two singles, "Perfect" and "24KT." 

In 2015, Katelyn met and started dating Kane Brown. She paused her music aspirations to support the business side of Brown's country music career. Realizing how much she enjoyed the business side, Katelyn earned an undergraduate degree from Berklee College of Music's Online Music Business program in 2019. Katelyn and Kane married in late 2018 and have three children together.

Not only is Katelyn a huge supporter of her husband's musical success, she is also an entrepreneur. In 2021, she paired with an Australian swimwear brand called Amore + Sorvete to create a bathing suit collection, and in 2022, she announced her wine company, Allen Rose.

How does a busy mom of three run businesses and support and help manage Kane Brown when he's on tour? She brings their kids and the family dogs on a custom tour bus designed to feel like home. Katelyn picked soothing colors reflective of their Nashville house's color schemes, with touches of cedar wood for a natural feel.

The main living area has a long couch with velvety material that the family can lounge on, and the kitchen has a farm-style sink. The two youngest kids have bunk beds, and the baby has a crib to sleep in. The tour bus's primary bedroom has a large bed built higher than normal to store the German Shepherd's crates under.

Because Kane Brown tours frequently and wants to spend time with his family, the customized tour bus is a refuge for him. He can recharge for the next show with the love and support of his wife, kids, and dogs.

As Katelyn has a background in music and is a singer herself, it seemed natural that she and Kane would collaborate on music. In 2022, Kane and Katelyn sang a duet together, "Thank God," off Kane's album Different Man. 

This sweet love song features Kane's distinctive country-style voice, which blends beautifully with Katelyn's strong pop/country vocals. She has a powerful voice that can keep up with Kane's husky one to create a ballad that fans love. This song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and earned Video of the Year at the 2023 Country Music Television Awards. Kane Brown's album Different Man was No. 2 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.

On September 26, 2024, Kane and Katelyn walked the red carpet together without their three children at the Grand Ole Opry for the People's Choice Awards ceremony, where he won the Country Champion Award. As a working family often in the limelight, it's essential to have time together as a couple.

While they do post family photos on their social platforms, they also keep their private life quiet. Even during Katelyn's third pregnancy, she mostly hid signs of her pregnancy from the public and only announced the arrival of their son after he was born.

Kane calls his wife Superwoman for taking care of three kids, helping manage his career, and caring for her businesses. 

Both Kane and Katelyn have teased more musical collaborations. Kane recently stated that there might be two duets with Katelyn on his upcoming album; one will be country and one pop to honor her diverse musical background. Kane said Katelyn helped with the song "Body Talk" from his new album, The High Road. Brown will go on tour in 2025 for the High Road Tour with Scotty McCreery.

The couple appear to have a strong relationship as Kane calls his wife his secret weapon. They support each other through sickness and challenging times, including during the COVID-19 lockdown. Kane has periods of depression, and Katelyn can have anxiety issues. Together, they pick each other up. After the lockdown, Kane embraced gratitude for his family and success and found inspiration to write again.
