NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nashville-based international singer/songwriter/global music chart-topper Christy McDonald releases the official video for “Proud”, the title track for the 3 song EP Proud. The video is a thank you to all our wonderful healthcare providers and first responders from all over the world and some of which are featured in the video.
Christy McDonald says “We asked Healthcare Heroes to turn in photos. You all are amazing. The pictures came in from Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Kentucky, California, Washington D.C., Amsterdam, Australia, and Nashville’s own Vanderbilt Medical Center.”
Christy adds “I want to say a simple Thank You! Thank You to All Healthcare Heroes. You are true Superstars! Every day you battle your jobs and the virus. I wanted to do something to uplift you and show how proud we are of you! And we all need some good news! “

“This song is about being proud of what you accomplish in life. I couldn’t be prouder of so many of my friends and other healthcare workers around the world that are effortlessly staying strong and positive in such an unprecedented time,” says artist Christy McDonald. “As we continue to fight this fight against this virus, let’s continue to send prayers and praise to these wonderful human beings. I hope you enjoy my ‘shout out’ to them all. We should all be so proud.”
2019 was a magical year for McDonald. The vocal firecracker with a personality to match found her first cut “HaLehLouYa” which she co-wrote with GRAMMY-winning producer Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift) and Danny Rader landing on GRAMMY-winning DJ Robin Schulz album release. The album, featuring McDonald debuted at #4 on the iTunes World Chart, as well as receiving major airplay on KIIS FM-LA and SIRIUS XM’s #1 Hits channel; eventually surpassing over 13 million spins. McDonald says, “I always dreamed of my music being heard all over the world so to hear it on the radio and to see it charting with artists like Adele and Rhianna was amazing.”
The year also led to a publishing and record deal with the prominent Big Yellow Dog publishing house, home to powerhouse artists/writers Meghan Trainor and Maren Morris in Nashville. Before she knew it, the company had her spinning the globe, literally, pairing her with some of the top writers, producers, and other industry giants developing her craft and becoming a sensation in Europe and parts of the United Kingdom.
