Kane Brown, Luke Combs and Carly Pearce all made the Forbes list of 30 Under 30 Class of 2019 in the music category.

Kane made the list because of "In three short years, he has become one of the genre's biggest stars, with platinum-certified records, over 1.8 billion streams and hits including 'What Ifs,'  the third most-streamed country song ever."

Brown told Forbes what piece of advice would you give to your 18-year-old self? saying, "Don't give up. Be a good person. The best person you can be. That's what matters."

Combs also made the list because for one, "All five singles on his debut album, 2017's 'This One's For You,' claimed top spots on Billboard's Country Airplay chart."

Carly is on the list due to her platinum selling single "Every Little Thing" and having toured in 2019 with Blake Shelton, Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum.

She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
