Contemporary Country Star Kenny Chesney did not have immediate success that the escape of many of his peers enjoyed signing with major labels, but gradually built a significant following via hard work, pop-friendly ballads, and a pleasant, medium- Guy character. Chesney was born in Knoxville, TN, in 1968 and raised in the nearby town of Luttrell, better known as the home of Chet Atkins. He grew up listening to both country and rock & roll, but do not take music seriously until college, where he studied marketing at East Tennessee State University.
