The artist recorded over 40 singles, most of which made it into top-10 of Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts. Twenty-nine of them reached the top. Chesney was born in St. Mary’s Medical Center in Knoxville, Tennessee. He grew up in Luttrell, Tennessee, a town well known as a birthplace of a popular guitar player Chet Atkins, who worked with Elvis Presley and many other celebrities. Kenny’s father was a schoolteacher, David Chesney. His mom was a hairdresser. The musician has an older brother and two sisters.

Soon, his career took off. In 1994, Chesney released his first LP, In My Wildest Dreams, which only made it into one chart. But it was an excellent start. Soon, the singer signed a contract with BNA Records and recorded a new LP, All I Need to Know, which earned a gold status from RIAA. In 1996, the artist presented a new album, Me and You. A year later, he released I Will Stand.
In 1998, Kenny recorded a hit single "Touchdown Tennessee". The next year, he released a new album Everywhere We Go, which featured such hits as "You Had Me From Hello" and "How Forever Feels". At that time, many organizers wanted to book Kenny Chesney for private events. However, he was busy releasing one album after another.
