A native of Nashville, Tennessee, country singer Hillary Scott enjoyed years of success as a member of Lady A (formerly known as Lady Antebellum) before launching a gospel-themed side project, Hillary Scott & the Scott Family, in 2016. She was born on April 1, 1986, and raised by country singers Linda Davis and Lang Scott. While attending college in Tennessee, she met Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood in May 2006. The three formed Lady Antebellum, a wildly successful country trio whose chart-topping hit "Need You Now" won four Grammy Awards in 2011, including "Song of the Year" and "Record of the Year." Scott co-wrote the song, along with Number 1 hits like "I Run to You," "Our Kind of Love," and "Just a Kiss." After wrapping up an international tour in support of the band's sixth album, 747, in 2015, Scott began working on a solo record with members of her family. The album, Love Remains, was released in 2016 and showcased her gospel influences. It was a commercial success, too, debuting at Number 7 on the Billboard 200 and winning two Grammy Awards, including "Best Contemporary Christian Album." She then returned her focus to Lady Antebellum, whose name was officially shortened to Lady A in June 2020. Although Lady A remained her priority, Scott also appeared on releases by other artists, including Thomas Rhett's gold-certified "Be a Light" (2020) and Anne Wilson's Top 40 Christian hit "Mamas" (2022).
