Whitney Duncan

Whitney Duncan was born on August 3, 1984 in Scotts Hill, Tennessee, a town consisting of only 900 people. Duncan began singing at her church, later performing in local talent shows, fairs, and festivals. She would also travel to the neighboring states of Kentucky and Missouri to perform at events. In her early teens, she began to travel to Nashville, Tennessee to perform at local clubs, incl. Tootsie's Lounge. In her senior year of high school, Duncan signed a recording contract with a label, cutting a few sides she had written. One of these sides was "My World Is Over", which became a duet with Kenny Rogers, and appeared on his 42 Ultimate Hits album in 2004. A single was made of their duet, and charted for one week on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in July 2004.

Afterwards Duncan parted ways with the label. In 2006, she opened for the CMA Music festival, performing the National Anthem and singing the next day as well. In 2007, Duncan participated on the USA network show Nashville Star and self-released her debut album. After coming in fifth place, she signed to Warner Bros. Records Nashville. Her first solo single, "When I Said I Would" was released from the label in August 2008, peaking at #48 on the U.S. country charts. The second single, The Bed You Made, followed in December 2008 and failed to chart. The third single, Skinny Dippin was released in July 2009, and debuted at #60 and reached #48 as well.
