Kaylee Bell

Kaylee Bell, a Country / Pop artist originally from small town Waimate on the South Island of New Zealand, is a force to be reckoned with amongst artists on an international level with a live show, hits under her belt and drive to succeed.

Kaylee Bell, an award-winning Country Pop artist from Waimate, New Zealand, has taken her music to the global stage. Bell’s breakthrough came in 2023 when she supported Ed Sheeran on his Mathematics World Tour, performing to over 200,000 fans across six sold-out shows in New Zealand, including Eden Park in Auckland and Sky Stadium in Wellington.

Following this success, Bell released her biggest radio hit to date,“Boots N All,“which landed at #1 on the NZ Hot Singles Chart and climbed into the Top 20 at radio. The single sparked her first headline tour of New Zealand, where she sold 10,000 tickets across 17 dates. She followed up with a run of well-received singles—“Good Things,” “Nights Like This,”and”Life Is Tough (But So Am I)”—all of which received heavy radio rotation across major commercial stations.

In late 2023, Bell’s international recognition grew when she received the Jeff Walker Global Country Music Artist Award at the CMA Awards in Nashville, making her the only New Zealand artist ever to win a CMA Award.

Early 2024 saw Bell crowned “Best Female Artist” at Australia’s prestigious Golden Guitar Awards. In March, she released her most successful album to date, Nights Like This, which debuted at #1 on the New Zealand Album Chart where it has held its position for over a year. The album’s success led to a nationwide tour and critical acclaim.

In May 2024, Bell was honoured at the Aotearoa Music Awards, winning “Best Country Artist” for the second time and receiving the inaugural Te Manu Mātarae Award for international success. That same year, she released the high-energy single “Cowboy Up”—a fiery, confident anthem that peaked at #5 on the Hot 20 Aotearoa Singles Chart and became a standout radio hit.

Bell’s live presence continued to grow with a performance to one of the biggest audiences of her career at CMC Rocks 2025, Australia’s premier country music festival. In April this year, she released her next single,“Ring On It,“which climbed to #8 on the Hot 20 Aotearoa Single Chart.

Her accomplishments earned her four nominations at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards, affirming her position as one of the most prominent country artists in the region.

In September 2025, Bell released her fourth album Cowboy Up. Eight tracks of Bell’s confident, emotionally rich lyrics that explore resilience, identity, and growth, all through the lens of her signature country-pop sound. The album debuted at #2 on the Aotearoa Top 20 Album Chart with the title track receiving high rotation radio play.

Bell first caught global attention with her original single“Keith,”performed onThe VoiceAustralia. The tribute to Keith Urban became a viral sensation, amassing over 60 million views on TikTok, 30 million Spotify streams, and reaching #12 on the US Billboard Country DigitalSales Chart. Her Red EP, featuring Keith, was certified Gold, making her the first female country artist in 20 years to reach that milestone in Australasia.

For five consecutive years, Bell has been the Most Streamed Female Country Artist in Australasia and recently sailed past 100 million catalogue streams. She began performing at age 4, won the NZ Gold Guitar Award at 18, and earned a Bachelor of Performing Arts from NASDA. After moving to Australia at 21, she won Toyota Star Maker in 2013 and became the first non-US artist to win the Overall Grand Prize in the US Unsigned Only competition.

Kaylee Bell has shared stages with Ed Sheeran, The Chicks, Keith Urban, and Kane Brown, and was featured in Times Square, New York, as the face of Spotify’s EQUAL Global campaign, representing women in music.

As an independent artist with over 100 million catalogue streams, Kaylee Bell continues to lead the way for future generations of country artists across Australasia and beyond.
