Mickey Guyton (born Candace Mycale Guyton; June 17, 1983) is an American country music artist. Her material incorporates elements of contemporary country and country pop. Raised in Texas, Guyton was exposed to various types of music at a young age, notably country. Moving to Nashville, Tennessee, she would later sign a recording contract with Capitol Records Nashville. In 2015, the label released Guyton's debut extended play, Unbreakable.
In 2015, her debut single was released on Capitol titled "Better Than You Left Me." The song reached the top 40 of the country chart and helped her receive a nomination from the Academy of Country Music Awards. The same year, her second extended play was released. In 2020, Guyton released the single, "Black Like Me," which speaks on her experiences as a Black woman, particularly a Black woman in country music. It was released in the wake of the George Floyd protests and the Black Lives Matter movement. The song helped further elevate Guyton's career and resulted in her first ever nomination at the Grammy Awards, being the first Black woman to ever be nominated in that category. Later that year, her third extended play Bridges was released. She then collaborated with Dean Brody on the song, "Boys" which made her the first black woman to achieve a number one hit on the Canada Country chart.
