Martina McBride [POSTPONED] at Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair

Martina McBride's distinctive voice first made waves in the country music industry in the early 1990s. It didn't take long for her to break through after the release of her second album, 1993's "The Way That I Am," thanks to her distinctively soulful, lively, and strong voice. The 27-year-old Nashville native rose to fame with the smash tunes "My Baby Loves Me" and "Independence Day," making her a household name in both country and mainstream music. The album was a commercial and critical success, foreshadowing years of fame for the country singer who would become known as "The Celine Dion of Country Music."

Throughout the years, Martina McBride would go on to release several albums, all of which topped the charts. Her most memorable ones include "Evolution (1997)," "Martina (2003)," "Emotion (1999)," "Wild Angels (1995)," "Timeless (2005)" and "Greatest Hits (2001)." Most of these albums feature family, empowerment, love, and other uplifting themes, making them relatable to most listeners. Whether it is a power ballad or a simple feel-good song about family and relationships, Martina has a knack for expressing her music that no other singer can. Thus, she has been proving herself over and over again by winning several awards from the most reputable award-giving bodies in the industry.

She has been nominated for the Grammy Awards 13 times. Although she is yet to snatch her first Grammy, Martina has been awarded several times by the Country Music Association (CMA) Awards and Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards — two of the highly-esteemed award-giving bodies in the country music world. In 2019 she received the highly-coveted Icon Award from the Academy of Country Music, further cementing her place with the greats in country music.

With her popularity, Martina also ventured into other things outside of music. In the course of her career, she became active in charitable work. She supported various causes and advocacies, including domestic violence awareness and women's health. Indeed she is more than an icon in music. She is a philanthropist and an active role model.
