Rising country artist Lloyd Carter, fresh off multiple wins at the 2025 Georgia Country Awards, is lighting up the independent country music scene with heartfelt songs, meaningful lyrics, and a creative fire that shows no signs of slowing down. Known for his smooth vocals, timeless sound, and real-life storytelling, Carter continues to prove that country music built on heart and honesty still resonates deeply. In addition to his award-winning music, Carter received five nominations at the prestigious Josie Music Awards held at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, a major recognition for one of the South’s most dedicated independent country voices.

At this year's Georgia Country Awards, Carter was honored with "Male Artist of the Year" and "Song of the Year" for his energetic hit "Ain’t Good at Being Alone." The single is part of his ambitious “12 in 25” collection, a yearlong creative project releasing twelve original songs that each capture a different story, emotion, and texture of country music. So far, he has released standout tracks including "What the Whiskey Do," "Spend a Little Time with You," "Mama I Made It," and "Honky Tonk HeartBreak." Each song has showcased a new side of his artistry from soulful reflection to backroad fun earning praise from fans and peers alike.

Just in time for the holidays, Carter is set to release a special Christmas single, "Follow the Star," a heartfelt reminder of the true reason for the season.

Beyond the spotlight, Carter continues to give back to the music community through his podcast, "Sounds From the Shed," where he interviews fellow artists and celebrates the independent spirit of country music.

"It’s been an incredible year," says Carter. "To see these songs connect with people and to be recognized for something that comes straight from the heart that’s what it’s all about. I’m just grateful for everyone who’s been part of this journey."

With new music, more “12 in 25” releases, and upcoming performances on the horizon, Lloyd Carter is proving that authentic country music — built on passion, perseverance, and pure storytelling — will always find its audience. For more information, visit lloydcartermusic.com or follow Lloyd Carter on social media @LloydCarterMusic.
