BMI Entertainment | Stephanie Quayle
As a member of CMT’s Next Women of Country, Stephanie Quayle is an undeniable force on the country music scene.
The Big Sky Music recording artist is one of the most active female artists with a consistent presence on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, official music video airplay on CMT and a vigorous performance schedule.
The singer-songwriter is turning heads as an independent artist with repeat performances on the Grand Ole Opry and historic Ryman Auditorium stages, along with hosting for Wrangler Network on the ACM Awards red carpet, as well as hosting for Sounds Like Nashville on the CMT Awards and CMA Awards red carpets. And in a once in a lifetime opportunity, she was the only indie act invited to perform for the five living former U.S. presidents (Obama, W. Bush, Clinton, H.W. Bush and Carter) as part of the hurricane relief concert “Deep From The Heart: The One America Appeal” in Texas.
Named one of Rolling Stone Country’s “Top Artists You Need To Know,” Quayle is garnering a buzz from her high-energy live performances across the country while sharing stages with artists like Brett Eldredge, Jon Pardi, Carly Pearce, LoCASH, Billy Currington and more; her magnetic energy and booming personality grabs hold of audiences wherever she goes.
She has been highlighted in People, Huffington Post, Glamour, Hollywood Life, Inspirer Magazine, Taste Of Country and Sounds Like Nashville, to name a few. She also serves as music ambassador for Murdoch’s Ranch & Home Supply, an original store from her hometown of Bozeman, MT, and has teamed up with national brands like Wrangler, Kampgrounds Of America (KOA), Winnebago, Polaroid, and more throughout multiple campaigns.

Streamed Directly To You – OTT Style
Rising Above 4 was live-streamed through our new OTT video training platform, the Ten-Minute Trainer Network. Think the power of Netflix, but focused on solving the daily challenges of the broadcast industry.
The old way of online training (webinars, bulky learning management systems, etc.) needed a major facelift, so we rethought everything, starting with the launch of the Ten-Minute Trainer Network mobile app (iOS & Android) so you can stream content on the go, when and wherever you are.
