Rising Stars: Chanel Yates


28 10 2025

British country pop singer/songwriter Chanel Yates, whose hits include Colourblind, Big Girl Boots and Shotgun Seat, is fast becoming one of the UK’s most exciting new voices in country pop.

Since her breakout on The Voice UK in 2021, she’s performed at C2C Festival, Reading & Leeds Festival and Tramlines and supported Caity Baser and Alexandra Kay on tour. Inspired by Kacey Musgraves and Kelsea Ballerini, and with support from BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 1’s Future Pop, Yates is next set to headline at The Grace in February 2026.
