Kristian Bush, one half of international super-duo Sugarland, has been leaving his mark on music for more than two decades.

He and partner Andrew Hyra released a much-lauded pair of albums for Atlantic Records (their 1994 self-titled debut and 1995's Bloom), earning multiple Top 5 singles on the AAA charts, rotation on VH1, and a reputation as dynamic live performers who traveled from the tiny stage of Eddie's Attic in Decatur, Georgia, to a worldwide tour supporting Melissa Etheridge in 1995.
Bush founded Sugarland in 2002; in 2004, he and singer Jennifer Nettles exploded onto the music scene, and haven’t stopped since. They have surpassed sales of over 22 million albums worldwide, achieved eight No. 1 singles and won numerous awards, including trophies from the Grammys, AMAs, ACM Awards, CMT Music Awards and CMA Awards. In October of 2012, they were inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.
His live solo debut came in March 2013 during the inaugural C2C: Country to Country Festival at the O2 Arena in London; his first single as a solo act, “Love or Money,” debuted in the UK and Europe the following week.

He is a frequent panelist at events for the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, and has become a sought-after expert on disruptive business practices, word of mouth marketing, digital media/fan engagement, and studio engineering.
