Maddie & Tae are now making an impact on Radio Disney.
The CMA award-winning duo and ACM nominees have added two more nominations under their belt — Favorite Country Artist and Favorite Country Song for their Top 10, GOLD-certified “Fly” at the 2016 Radio Disney Music Awards.
“We wrote that song so we wouldn’t give up when we were so far away from home and our families,” says mandolin-playing Maddie Marlow. “When you’re young songs really matter, and when the folks voting on the Radio Disney Awards recognize a song like ‘Fly,’ it feels like… well, like we’re not the only ones who needed that song!”
“This is awesome,’ gushed hard rhythm guitarist Tae Dye. “Radio Disney is such a special place, with such a special group of listeners… They’re kind of the reason Maddie and I really started writing songs: no one was writing about our lives. So to be nominated for Favorite Country Artist, knowing that’s not really what y’all are about… I can’t tell you what that means to us! ‘Cause we want everyone who listens to us to feel like they can go climb mountains, kick butt and make their dreams come true, too.”
The 2016 Radio Disney Music Awards air Sunday, May 1st @ 7PM ET/PT on Disney Channel.
