Scotty McCreery: Country's Heartthrob with a Killer Voice

Scotty McCreery: Country's Heartthrob with a Killer Voice Scotty McCreery’s name has become almost synonymous with country music. Since his big win on American Idol in 2011, he’s managed to carve out a place for himself in the genre with a voice that could melt butter. If you haven't heard his deep, rich baritone yet, then you’re probably living under a rock, or maybe just not tuned into country music enough (no judgment, we all have our preferences). The Beginnings: Small Town, Big Dreams Scotty McCreery was born in Garner, North Carolina, where, like many country stars, he grew up surrounded by family, faith, and good ol’ southern values. From an early age, he had a penchant for singing, and though his voice wasn’t quite the deep, velvety magic it is now, he was still better than most of us when it came to hitting those high notes. But it wasn’t until his big American Idol debut that the world truly took notice. Let’s be honest: his win wasn't a surprise. With his natural charisma and that voice, it was only a matter of time before he stole the show. But it’s safe to say, no one expected him to be so... cool. A guy with a cowboy hat who can belt out a song about beer and trucks? Yep, that’s Scotty.
