Kane Brown has been named to the 2021 TIME100, TIME’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

The list, selected by editors and now in its eighteenth year, recognizes the impact, innovation and achievement of the world’s most influential individuals.

The profile piece honoring Kane was written by fellow country star Darius Rucker.

Darius writes, “When it comes to his music, he can do that low, cool, borderline-rapping thing, and then he sings and his vocal ability just blows you away.”

Darius also says, “I’m sure there are kids looking up to Kane right now just like when I looked up at Charley Pride.”

The full list is available now at time.com/time100 and in the Oct. 4 issue of TIME, available on newsstands Friday, September 17.
