The Georgia-born singer found success in country duo Sugarland before carving her own path with songs like 'Unlove You.'
For the Sugarland years, 'Change' captures that early energy. For her solo work, 'Unlove You' is the one that sticks.
Nettles' voice anchored Sugarland's breakthrough sound on 'Twice the Speed of Life,' blending country and pop in a way that felt fresh in the early 2000s. Her solo material, including the ballad 'Unlove You,' shows a more personal side that connects with listeners moving through tough relationships. She's kept working steadily even after the 2010 Indiana State Fair stage collapse that paused Sugarland's momentum.
She formed Sugarland with Kristian Bush after meeting at Agnes Scott College, and their debut album found an audience quickly. After the duo went on hiatus, Nettles began releasing solo tracks like 'Playing With Fire' and 'Know You Wanna Know,' shifting toward more personal songwriting. She's occasionally spoken out on social issues but mostly stays focused on making music.
