Kenneth Eric Church was born on May 3, 1977, in Granite Falls, North Carolina. His early life included working at his father’s furniture upholstery company, Clayton Marcus, where his father served as president. At the age of 13, Church acquired a guitar and began composing original songs. During his senior year of high school, he regularly performed at a local bar, often playing Jimmy Buffett covers and his own material. These early performances, sometimes in challenging venues, occasionally led to altercations from the stage. Prior to his move to Nashville, Church attended South Caldwell High School and subsequently graduated from Appalachian State University with a marketing degree. He formed a band called “Mountain Boys” with his college roommate, brother, and a fellow guitarist, and they performed in various bars and restaurants across North Carolina for several years.
Church developed his songwriting skills, co-writing “The World Needs a Drink” for Terri Clark in 2005 and “Whiskey Wings” for Dean Miller’s 2005 album, Platinum. His collaboration with producer Jay Joyce was a turning point, convincing Capitol Nashville to offer him a recording contract. He released his debut album, “Sinners Like Me,” in 2006, which produced three Top 20 singles on the Billboard country charts: “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” and “Guys Like Me.” In 2009, his second album, “Carolina,” featured his first Top 10 hits, “Love Your Love the Most” and “Hell on the Heart.” His 2011 album, “Chief,” became his first No. 1 album and yielded two No. 1 singles, “Drink in My Hand” and “Springsteen.” Over the years, Church has received numerous accolades, including the CMA Album of the Year twice for “Chief” (2012) and “Mr. Misunderstood” (2016), and the CMA Entertainer of the Year award in 2020. He has also been recognized for his philanthropic efforts through The Chief Cares Fund, established in 2013 with his wife, Katherine, supporting underprivileged families and animal welfare.
