These Are The Most Famous Artists From Every State
While most celebrities live in New York or Hollywood now, they didn’t start off there. It’s always interesting to me to learn where celebrities came from and grew up. There are lots of celebrities that have come from North Carolina, some we know about, and some that are more surprising. But who are the biggest, most popular artists to come out of NC?

Hi, I'm Cameron! I was born and raised in North Carolina. I'm a super tall redhead who is always down for tacos, enchiladas, and margaritas. Okay, so Mexican food is my personal favorite, but I’m not saying no if you’re trying to eat out on the town anywhere. I I am on air for middays but also the Program Director for Kiss 95.1. I enjoy connecting with Kiss 95.1’s amazing listeners and being able to bring all of my favorite things like food, wine, and life online into digital content.
