5 Nov
Summary
- Ink, a rising country singer-songwriter, has co-written two albums for Beyoncé
- Ink confidently approached Beyoncé at a music industry event and pitched herself as the singer's next collaborator
- Ink's debut EP, "Big Buskin'", has received critical acclaim
In a remarkable turn of events, rising country music artist Ink has transitioned from performing on sidewalks to co-writing two albums for global superstar Beyoncé. Hailing from Germany and raised outside of Atlanta, Ink has made a name for herself with the release of her debut EP, "Big Buskin'", which has been praised for its infectious, joyous sound.
Ink's big break came when she confidently approached Beyoncé at a music industry event and declared that they were destined to work together. To Ink's delight, Beyoncé was receptive to the idea, and the two have since collaborated on Beyoncé's 2022 album "Renaissance" and the upcoming 2024 release "Cowboy Carter". Ink co-wrote several tracks for the latter album, including "Texas Hold 'Em," "Sixteen Carriages," and "Ameriican Requiem".
In addition to her work with Beyoncé, Ink has also co-written a song on Kendrick Lamar's recent album, "GNX", which is likely to earn her a Grammy nomination. Ink's journey from street performer to in-demand songwriter is a testament to her talent, determination, and the power of seizing opportunities when they present themselves.
