The country superstar listed out some breakout stars he likes including Blanco Brown, Travis Denning, Gabby Barrett and Mickey Guyton.
“Blanco Brown, I worked with him before either of us were in the country genre,” Brown said.
“Travis Denning, I used to open for Travis Denning, which is awesome, I’m glad he’s getting to shine,” he continued.
“Mickey Guyton, I love her girl power, strong, so glad that people are getting to shine,” Brown added. “Of course, I love all of them.”
“Gabby Barrett’s got this super powerful voice, reminds me of a young Carrie Underwood. And I am excited for all of them,” Brown boasted.
