Though places like New York and California are known for producing countless celebrities, it turns out there's at least one — in most cases, many more — famous musicians from every US state.

Business Insider has already identified the most famous band from every state , so we're now focusing on individual singers, songwriters, and performers. This encompasses country pioneers, rappers, jazz cats, pop stars — you name it. Even if they perform(ed) with a backing band, these musicians stand out as the star of the show.

The list is somewhat subjective, but to help determine the most famous musician from every state, Business Insider looked at each artist's reputation (within their own era), record sales, and awards.

It's also important to note that while most of these people were born in their corresponding state, others were not, but spent a lot of time living there.

Check out which musician took the No. 1 spot in your home state.
