Strong Slate Of International Candidates Vie For Fifth Annual CMA Global Country Artist Award
NASHVILLE - Nominees have been selected and ballots are being distributed this week to a panel of International music industry leaders to determine the recipient of this year''s CMA Global Country Artist Award. Initiated in 2002 by CMA''s then-Global Markets Task Force, the award recognizes outstanding achievement by a Country Music artist who has furthered the popularity of Country Music and brought attention to the genre in their foreign-based territory.
"As CMA continues to promote Country Music around the globe, we honor the artists who perform Country Music in their homelands and beyond," said Tammy Genovese, CMA Chief Operating Officer. "On CMA''s international trips, I have learned how important recognition from CMA is to Country Music artists in other nations as they continue to build their careers."
"These eight artists have all achieved great success in their countries as well as other territories," said Bobbi Boyce, CMA Director of International. "CMA is proud to recognize the success of all the nominees."
The eight nominees include:
Tom Astor (Germany), Calaisa (Sweden), Adam Harvey (Australia), Corb Lund (Canada), Melinda Schneider (Australia), Rachael Warwick (United Kingdom), Michelle Wright (Canada) and

He has performed at both the CMA Global Artist Party and the Global Acoustic Showcase during past CMA Music Festivals in Nashville. Haddad''s music has received airplay in Argentina, France, Germany, Mexico, and the United States. In addition to performing, Haddad also writes about Country Music for different Brazilian magazines, covering events around the globe including CMA Music Festival.
