In a statement, Hagood explains that he is celebrating trailblazers in country music because they are people who “aren’t just doing this for themselves, they’re doing it to make room for people that haven’t had a seat at the table.”

“I have felt very limited in my career about what I can say, what I can reveal about myself, what I can talk about, and I am loving this moment in music where so many artists arecoming forward and being themselves unapologetically,” Hagood continues. “I think it’s so important for marginalized people and artists from those groups, getting the spotlight, getting to lead the way, and change the narrative that has been the same for so long. That’s whatTrailblazers Radiois all about, is people just being themselves.”
Trailblazers Radio with Fancy Hagoodwill air biweekly Wednesdays on Apple Music Country at 2 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. CT, starting on Jan. 19th.
