16. Brad Paisley

Brad was just your average little boy growing up in West Virginia until his grandfather gave him a guitar one day. At 8 years old, he was being taught how to play it. By 9, he was performing in events around town. By 13, he was writing songs and playing in adult bands. After that he got asked to join one of the oldest country music radio shows around, where he opened for the likes of (1992 inductee) George Jones, (2018 inductee) Ricky Skaggs, and (2021 inductees) The Judds. After completing University and getting a songwriting deal, Brad got his own recording contract and made his radio debut in 1999. What came over the next two decades plus was a huge career for one of the most beloved artists in the modern Nashville industry. He was able to be one of the few truly comedic artists with great songs of humor, while also recording some of the most loveable and heartbreaking songs in country music history. He has two decades of well-remembered songs, 3 Grammy awards, 14 ACM awards, and 14 CMA awards (including getting the Entertainer Of The Year in 2010). He also co-hosted the CMA Awards with Carrie Underwood for eleven years in a row, while also being one of the most nominated artists in the history of the CMA awards. Even though his radio career tapered off in the mid-2010s, he continues to record songs and dip his toe into other areas (including recently releasing his own bourbon brand). Someday, another notch in his belt will be getting into the Country Music Hall Of Fame, though that is still a few years off.
