Kristian Bush is a multi-PLATINUM-selling, two-time GRAMMY® Award winner most known for co-founding the record-breaking Country duo Sugarland with Jennifer Nettles.

Last summer, Bush drove his striped umbrella in the sand staking his spot in summertime beach music with his EP ‘Drink Happy Thoughts’ which was born from Kristian’s love of all things beach.

“(Beach music) is just fascinating,” Kristian says. “No matter who I talk to about this kind of stuff, it’s the same feeling I got when I would tell people I have a band called Sugarland. They’re like, ’Oh my God, I love Sugarland. That’s you?’ When people confess that you’re their guilty pleasure, it’s such a beautiful feeling. How about we normalize it? Beach music is one of my favorite things.”

Since then, Bush has released a series of island versions of his popular songs that marry his signature groovy sound with his reggae influence.

At the same time he was working on his own music, Kristian was also busy in the studio producing Megan Moroney, who recently charted her first No. 1 song ‘Tennessee Orange.’
