Mini bio
How it started.
Maren grew up in Arlington, Texas, and began touring around the state at about 10 or 11. Before her major-label breakthrough, she had already self-released Walk On, All That It Takes and Live Wire. In Nashville, a publishing deal with Big Yellow Dog Music led to co-writes recorded by Kelly Clarkson and Tim McGraw.
Finding her own microphone.
Writing “My Church” helped Maren decide to record her own songs again. Hero arrived in June 2016, topped Billboard’s country albums chart and brought her a Grammy for Best Country Solo Performance the following year. She co-produced the album with busbee.
Songs that travel.
Her 2018 collaboration with Zedd and Grey, “The Middle,” took her voice into dance-pop. GIRL followed in 2019, with “The Bones” going on to spend 19 weeks atop Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. That same year she released The Highwomen’s debut with Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby and Amanda Shires.
The current chapter.
On 2025’s Dreamsicle, Maren explored change and healing across country, pop and soft-rock sounds. She also writes picture books with Karina Argow, including Beatrix Butterfly Wings It for Once. In 2026 she revisited Hero with an anniversary edition and joined Michelle Branch for a new “Goodbye to You” duet.
