Cali says, “I want people to know – whoever you want to be, whatever you want to do, it’s within your reach.” Though Cali is grateful for her circle of family and friends, she is deeply aware that not everyone has that same privilege. Through Last Name, her powerful, soul-stirring vocals deliver this message with authenticity and heart – making it a true anthem for everyone fighting to be seen, heard, and valued.
Cali shares, “I want people to know – whoever you want to be, whatever you want to do, it’s within your reach.”
As the daughter of 1970s hitmaker LaCosta Tucker and niece of the legendary Tanya Tucker, Cali embraces her family’s musical legacy while infusing it with a modern twist that resonates with today’s audience. From winning the Miss Teen All American title to gracing the Grand Ole Opry stage and headlining top Las Vegas venues, she has steadily built a career defined by artistry and resilience. Her time as a finalist on NBC’s The Voice-mentored by Blake Shelton-launched her into the national spotlight, setting the stage for her continued success.
Over the past year, Cali’s original music has amassed millions of streams across Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube while receiving airplay worldwide. People Magazine praised her as “a blend of sweet and sassy… addictive.” She performed the National Anthem for NASCAR’s Pennzoil 400 before a crowd of 80,000 racing fans and a televised audience of over three million. Meanwhile, her music videos-Country Couture and Urban Cowboy-have swept film festivals, earning multiple Best Music Video and Best Song awards. On June 28th, she made her debut to a near capacity crowd at Aliante Casino’s Access Showroom in Las Vegas and on July 19th, she electrified the stage with her iconic aunt for a special double-billed performance at Spirit Mountain Casino in Oregon.
With Last Name, Cali Tucker continues to prove that her name is one people will be talking about for years to come.
