Local lad Troy Cassar-Daley has won the Country Music Association Global Artist Award. Troy received the gong at The Stage in Nashville last night.
The award recognises the achievements of country artists which further the genre’s popularity outside the US.
“Receiving this award means a lot to me,” he said. “I have loved country music since I was a child and have enjoyed many years out on the road in Australia playing it.
“It makes me proud that people in Nashville think that I am a worthy ambassador for this award, and I look forward to many more shows playing this incredible music called country!”
With sales of around 250,000 units locally, Troy is definitely a worthy recipient. He also comes across as a genuinely nice guy. Congrats Troy!
