Martina Mariea McBride (néeSchiff, July 29, 1966) is an Americancountry music singer and songwriter. She is known for hersoprano singing range and hercountry pop material.
McBride was born inSharon, Kansas, and relocated toNashville, Tennessee, in 1989. She signed toRCA Records in 1991, and made her debut the following year as a neo-traditionalist country singer with the single, "The Time Has Come".[2] Over time, she developed a pop-styledcrossover sound, similar toShania Twain andFaith Hill, and had a string of major hit singles on theBillboard country chart and occasionally on the adult contemporary chart. Five of these singles went to No. 1 on the country chart between 1995 and 2001, and one peaked at No. 1 on the adult contemporary chart in 2003.
McBride has fourteen studio albums, twogreatest hits compilations, one "live" album, as well as two additional compilation albums. Eight of her studio albums and two of her compilations have anRIAAGold certification, or higher. In the U.S., she has sold over 14 million albums. In addition, McBride has won theCountry Music Association Award for Female Vocalist of the Year award four times (tied withReba McEntire for the third-most wins) and theAcademy of Country Music's "Top Female Vocalist" award three times.[3][4] She is also a 14-timeGrammy Award nominee.[5]
Martina Mariea Schiff was born inSharon, Kansas, on July 29, 1966.[6] She has two brothers, Martin and Steve, who play in her concert band as of 2017, and a sister, Gina.[7][8]
McBride's parents, Daryl and Jeanne Schiff, owned a dairy farm. Daryl, who was also a cabinetry shop owner, exposed her to country music at a young age. Listening to country music helped her acquire a love for singing. After school, she sang for hours along to the records of such popular artists asReba McEntire,Linda Ronstadt,Juice Newton,Jeanne Pruett,Connie Smith, andPatsy Cline.[9] Around the age of eight or nine, Martina began singing with a band her father fronted, "The Schiffters". As she grew older her role in the band progressively increased, from simply singing, to also playing keyboard with them. She enjoyed performing in her early years.[9]
McBride began performing with a local rock band, The Penetrators, inWichita instead.[9] Then, in 1987, Schiff gathered a group of musicians called Lotus and started looking for rehearsal space; she began renting space from studio engineer John McBride. In 1988, the two married.[9][10]
After marrying, the couple moved toNashville, Tennessee, in 1989 with the hope of beginning a career in country music. John McBride joinedGarth Brooks's sound crew and later became his concert production manager. Martina occasionally joined her husband on the road and helped sell Garth Brooks souvenirs. In 1990, impressed by her enthusiastic spirit, Brooks offered her the position of hisopening act provided she could obtain arecording contract.[10] During this time, while her husband was working with country artistsCharlie Daniels andRicky Van Shelton, he also helped produce herdemo tape, which helped her gain a recording contract withRCA Nashville Records in 1991.[2]
McBride released her debut studio album by RCA Records in 1992, titledThe Time Has Come. It was produced byPaul Worley and Ed Seay. This album'stitle track made it to number 23 on the country music charts, while the next two singles both failed to make the Top 40.[11] Unlike her latercountry pop-influenced albums,The Time Has Come featuredhonky tonk andcountry folk influences.[2]
The Way That I Am was McBride's second album. Its first two singles both brought her into the country top ten: "My Baby Loves Me", the album'sde facto title song, peaked at number two, and "Life No. 9" peaked at number six. The former was previously a Top 10 hit in Canada forPatricia Conroy. However, it was the third single, "Independence Day", which was prevented from reaching the Top 10 through the oppositions of many radio programmers, who objected to the song's subject of a mother fighting back against abuse by burning the family home to the ground.[12] "Independence Day" won Video of the Year and Song of the Year at theCountry Music Association Awards, and has since become McBride's signature song.[11][13] It also earned the song's composer,Gretchen Peters, a nomination for theGrammy Award for Best Country Song. The song also gave McBride a nomination for theGrammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. McBride performed the song at the 1995 Grammys ceremony. The fourth and fifth singles fromThe Way That I Am were less successful: "Heart Trouble" peaked at number 21, and "Where I Used to Have a Heart" fell short of the Top 40.[11] McBride later criticized these single choices, saying that she felt "Strangers" would have been a better followup, as that song was more popular with fans and later appeared on her first greatest-hits album.[14]The Way That I Am was certified platinum by theRecording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
"My Baby Loves Me (Just The Way That I Am)", as produced and released, proved to have a sing-along quality that led McBride to sing it that way in her subsequent concerts.
McBride's third album,Wild Angels, was released in 1995. It accounted for another Top 5 hit in its lead single "Safe in the Arms of Love", which had previously been recorded by bothWild Choir andBaillie & the Boys, and was concurrently released in Canada byMichelle Wright at the time of McBride's version. The album'stitle track went on to become McBride's first No. 1 single on the country charts in early 1996.[11] The album's third, fourth, and fifth singles, "Phones Are Ringin' All Over Town", "Swingin' Doors", and "Cry on the Shoulder of the Road" were less successful, having reached the lower regions of the Top 40.
In early 1997, after "Cry on the Shoulder of the Road" peaked, McBride released two duets. "Still Holding On", a duet withClint Black which was the lead-off single to her fourth albumEvolution and Black's albumNothin' but the Taillights,[11] and "Valentine", a collaboration with pop pianistJim Brickman which appeared on his albumPicture This.[15] She also sang duet vocals on "Chances Are" withBob Seger, featured on the soundtrack of the 1998 motion pictureHope Floats.
She had her second number one on the country charts with "A Broken Wing", the second single from herEvolution album, in late 1997.Evolution went on to produce four more Top 10 hits at country radio: a re-release of "Valentine", "Happy Girl", "Wrong Again" (which also went to number one), and "Whatever You Say".[11] Towards the end of 1998, the album was certified double platinum in sales by theRecording Industry Association of America for selling two million units. In addition, she also won the Country Music Association Awards' "Female Vocalist of the Year" award in 1999 and also performed for PresidentBill Clinton during the same time.
Also in 1998, McBride released her first Christmas album titledWhite Christmas, which featured a rendition of "O Holy Night" that first charted in 1997 and continued to re-enter the charts until 2001.[11] She also sang a guest vocal onJason Sellers' mid-1998 single "This Small Divide".
McBride's sixth studio album,Emotion, was released in 1999. Its lead single, "I Love You", reached number one on theBillboard country charts in 1999, and also crossed over to the Adult Contemporary chart. The song's follow-ups, "Love's the Only House" and "There You Are", both made the Top 5 at country radio, and "It's My Time" peaked at number 11.[11]
In 2001, she released her first compilation,Greatest Hits. This album has been certified 3× Platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America, and is her highest-selling album.[16] It included most of her major hits to that point, and the album track "Strangers" from the albumThe Way That I Am, which she put on the album because she felt that it should have been a single.[14] The album also included four new songs, all of which were Top 10 hit on the country music charts between 2001 and 2003: "When God-Fearin' Women Get the Blues" (at number 8), "Blessed" (at number 1), "Where Would You Be" (at number 3), and "Concrete Angel" (at number 5).Carolyn Dawn Johnson sang backing vocals on "Blessed";[14] conversely, McBride sang backing vocals on Johnson's late-2000 debut single, titled "Georgia".[17] Late in 2002, McBride also sang backing vocals onAndy Griggs's single "Practice Life".[11]
In 2003, McBride released her seventh studio album,Martina, which celebrated womanhood.[2] The first single, "This One's for the Girls", went to number 3 on the country charts and became her only number-one hit on the Adult Contemporary charts. It also included backing vocals fromFaith Hill, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, and McBride's daughters, Delaney and Emma.[11] Follow-up single "In My Daughter's Eyes" was also a Top 5 hit at both country and adult contemporary. "How Far" and "God's Will" both made the Top 20 at country radio, as did her guest appearance onJimmy Buffett's single "Trip Around the Sun", whose chart run overlapped that of "God's Will".[11]
In 2004, McBride won the CMA's Female Vocalist award for the fourth time, following the wins in 2003, 2002 and 1999, which tied her for the most wins in that category with Reba McEntire.
After finding success incountry pop-styled music, McBride released her next studio album,Timeless, in 2005, which consisted of country covers.[18] The album included cover versions of country music standards, such asHank Williams' "You Win Again",Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough", andKris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the Night". To make the album fit its older style, McBride and her husband hired older Nashville session players and outdated analog equipment. The album sold over 250,000 copies within its first week, the highest sales start for a McBride album.[12] The lead single, a cover ofLynn Anderson's "(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden", went to number 18 on the country charts, but the other two singles both failed to make top 40.
In 2006, McBride served as a guest coach onCanadian Idol. The remaining five finalists traveled to Nashville, where McBride worked with the competitors on the songs they had chosen by country artists such asGordon Lightfoot andPatsy Cline. Among the other guest judges that year wereNelly Furtado andCyndi Lauper.[19]McBride later joined Canadian Idol on a tour in the Spring.[20]In 2007, McBride also served as a guest coach onFox Networks television series,American Idol.[21]
In 2007, McBride released her ninth studio album,Waking Up Laughing. It was the first album in which McBride co-wrote some of the tracks. She set up herWaking Up Laughing Tour in 2007, which included country artistsRodney Atkins,Little Big Town, andJason Michael Carroll.[18] The album's lead single, "Anyway", went to No. 5 on the Billboard Country Chart, becoming her first Top 10 hit since 2003. She also lent her voice singing "Anyway" in a Lifetime movie called, "A Life Interrupted" which premiered on April 23, 2007.[22] Its follow-up, "How I Feel", reached the Top 15. In Spring 2008, McBride releasedMartina McBride: Live In Concert, a CD/DVD set.[18] It was taped inMoline, Illinois in September 2007.
In July 2007, TheABC Television Network announced a special program calledSix Degrees of Martina McBride where individuals from around the country were challenged to find their way to McBride on their own connections and research using a maximum of six methods. The "winner" of this challenge eventually located a direct connection to McBride through her husband, John, who knew someone, who knew someone else.[23]McBride recorded an electronically produced duet withElvis Presley, performing his song "Blue Christmas" as a duet with him on his latest compilation,The Elvis Presley Christmas Duets.[24] A compilation collection, titledPlaylist: The Very Best of Martina McBride, was released on December 16, 2008, as part of Sony BMG Playlist series. The album features 11 previously released tracks and three unreleased tracks.
McBride wrapped up production of her tenth studio album in late 2008. The first single, "Ride", was released to radio in October 2008 and debuted at No. No. 43 on the Hot Country Songs chart. It barely missed the Top 10 on the chart, peaking at number eleven in March 2009. A music video produced by Kristin Barlowe was also released at the end of the year. The album,Shine, was released by RCA Records on March 24, 2009, and debuted at the top of the U.S. Country album chart and number 10 on theBillboard 200. McBride co-produced the album withDann Huff, and it featured "Sunny Side Up", a song that she co-wrote. The second single, "I Just Call You Mine", was released in May 2009 and reached the Top 20. The third single fromShine was "Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong", which the Warren Brothers co-wrote withRobert Ellis Orrall andLove and Theft member Stephen Barker Liles.

Her first single for Republic Nashville is "Teenage Daughters", which she also co-wrote with the Warren Brothers. McBride toldCountry Weekly that she co-wrote eight of the eleven songs on the album; she decided to write more frequently because she felt more confident in her songwriting ability after "Anyway" had become a hit.[27] An album track, "One Night" was released as a promotion forNASCAR with a music video in June 2011.
"I'm Gonna Love You Through It" was released as the album's second single on July 25, 2011.

The initiative includes a series of concerts across United States, with McBride as a headliner.[31]
In August 2016, the singer announced a new tour called "Love Unleashed". According to McBride, the purpose of the tour was to unite people and spread love through the power of music as a response to the "tragedy and uncertainty in the world".[32] She was also selected as one of 30 artists to perform on "Forever Country", a mash-up track ofTake Me Home, Country Roads;On the Road Again; andI Will Always Love You which celebrated 50 years of theCMA Awards.[33]
In July 2017, McBride revealed she is planning on releasing a Christmas album, of which she said " It won't have as many hymns on it.

In 1988, Martina Schiff, as she was known up to that time, married sound engineer John McBride, taking his family name as her stage name. The couple have three daughters: Delaney Katharine (born December 22, 1994), Emma Justine (born March 29, 1998),[42] and Ava Rose Kathleen (born June 20, 2005).[43][44] After becoming a mother, the singer reduced her touring schedule only to holidays and summers so that her daughters could have a normal upbringing.Joe Galante said this was "an enormous choice in terms of money", but McBride had made it very clear that she wanted to be present in her daughters' lives.[45]
McBride works with a variety of charities. She has served as a spokeswoman for theNational Domestic Violence Hotline as well as for theNational Network to End Domestic Violence and national spokeswoman for theTulsa Domestic Violence and Intervention Services. Every year since 1995, she has hostedMiddle Tennessee'sYWCA, "Celebrity Auction", and it has raised nearly $400,000 so far. McBride was awarded the "Minnie Pearl Humanitarian Award" in 2003. In 2004, she worked with "Kids Wish Network" to fulfill the wish of a young girl dying frommuscular dystrophy.[46]
McBride explained that educating girls and women on domestic violence is something she works on at home with her own daughters, stating:
A lot of teenage girls will be first dating and they'll think, 'Oh he doesn't want me to see my friends. He just wants me all to himself. Isn't that sweet?' Or 'Oh, he's just being protective. Isn't that sweet?' And then it turns into something else and it's controlling. They don't recognize that until it's too late. So it's an ongoing education that you have to give young girls, I think.[47]
McBride has also teamed up withLoveisrespect, National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline, working with them on a new program called, "My Time to Shine".[48]
McBride appeared on the Stand Up 2 Cancer Telethon in September 2010, where she performed "Unchained Melody" withLeona Lewis,Aaron Neville, andStevie Wonder. Also in 2010, she hosted the YWCA for the 16th consecutive year, raising over $50,000. It totals over $500,000 raised so far.
McBride also has a charity initiative called "Team Music is Love". Speaking about Team Music Is Love, McBride stated "It started a few years ago as a group of fans that asked me if they could wear a T-shirt with my name to walk in a breast cancer walk, and I said 'of course' and it has grown from there. Last year, we decided we wanted to give it a better name, a name that sounded as important as it is, so we changed it to 'Team Music is Love,' since it's about spreading love through music. We have done some amazing things over the past few years and we continue to grow and keep giving back."[49]
McBride has received a number of awards, including theCountry Music Association Award (CMA) for Female Vocalist of the Year, with her fourth win in 2004.[3] In 2011 she received and honorary CMA award.[56] She has been nominated for 14Grammy Awards, but has never won.[5]
