Recording Artist Pam Tillis has been a formidable force in country music since her first single hit the charts in 1990. She has racked up 14 Top Five hits including six that hit No. 1, and has sold over 6 million records. An accomplished songwriter, Pam has had her compositions recorded by artists as varied as Chaka Khan, Martina McBride, Highway 101, Juice Newton and Conway Twitty. She was one of the first women in Nashville to produce her own album, and she was awarded the coveted Female Vocalist of the Year by the CMA in 1994, and she was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2000.

In addition to becoming an Opry Member at the turn of the century, Pam signed with Sony Records in 2000. Sony released the critically-acclaimed Its All Relative, allowing her to pay tribute to her beloved father, Mel Tillis. “The Dad Album,” as she affectionately calls it, landed her in the No. 4 spot of the top 10 country recordings of 2002, according to USA Today and some of the best critical reviews of her career.

In 2006, Pam launched her own record label, Stellar Cat Records as “an A & R free-zone” for releasing her own albums away from the commercial confines of Nashville’s Music Row. Stellar Cat Released Rhinestoned, Pam’s first studio album in five years, and just like the Mel Tillis Tribute Record, it was met with glowing reviews from the critics, including Critics Choice Award from People Magazine and the single Band in the Window held the No. 1 chart position for six weeks on the ECMA chart in Europe.

Pam Tillis can tell you what it is like to win big awards, run a record label, sing on Broadway, and sell platinum records, but she'd much rather change the subject to the future. "I've traveled a million miles in my career," says Tillis. "The next million don't scare me a bit."
