Jamie Lynn Spears is already a seasoned entertainment veteran. After six years focused on raising her daughter, Maddie, the Kentwood, LA native is back in the spotlight with a sound and style that truly captures her Southern roots. Her official music debut comes in the form of country ballad “How Could I Want More.” The intensely personal lyrics mixed with a simple song production portrays Jamie Lynn as wise beyond her years. “How Could I Want More” was written by Spears along with Nashville songwriter Rivers Rutherford, who has also collaborated with Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, and Montgomery Gentry. Jamie Lynn’s experiences with Rivers and other Nashville writers, including Chris Tompkins, Liz Rose, Lisa Carver and Luke Laird, made for a master class in songwriting.

The experiences paid off – Jamie Lynn now has over 100 songs in her catalog. Most recently, Jamie Lynn co-wrote Jana Kramer’s hit “I Got The Boy”. The single was an amazing success for Jana Kramer as well as for Jamie Lynn receiving RIAA’s Gold Certification in February 2016. Her first single already has critical acclaim and cultural heat. It was named a Taste of Country Critic’s Pick and her journey has been covered by such outlets as E!, Entertainment Tonight, BuzzFeed, MTV, CMT and more! A full album is imminent and Jamie Lynn credits her producer, Corey Crowder, for helping her define her sound. “He is a huge influence, and mainly responsible for making my music sound like “me”- he really just got me,” says Spears. “It took me years to figure out my sound, and to have confidence in knowing what I wanted.” “Keeping it honest is something that will always fall on me. I need to make choices I believe in, so I don’t lose that relationship with my fans – they are the ones I want to stay connected to through my music.” says Spears.
