Brit’s sis is NO pop tart as JAMIE LYNN SPEARS goes country!

IN a bid to escape her big sis Britney’s shadow, Jamie Lynn Spears has moved to Nashville and launched a country music career!

Now the former “Zoey 101” star, 21, is raising her 3-year-old daughter Maddie as a single mom while struggling to make it as a singer, sources say.

“You have to hand it to Jamie Lynn,” an insider told The ENQUIRER.

“Singing was always her first love, and she’s got the drive to make it like her big sis Britney. Even before she starred on Nick­elodeon in ‘Zoey,’ Jamie Lynn wanted to be a singer.”

Jamie Lynn’s acting career was cut short when she got pregnant by boy­friend Casey Aldridge and gave birth to Maddie at age 17.

“After Maddie was born, Jamie Lynn tried hard to make her relationship with Casey work,” said the source. They got engaged, and Jamie Lynn bought a house in Liberty, Miss., and, added the source: “She hoped they could be a happy family, but Casey didn’t really want to get married, and Jamie Lynn had to move on.”

The ambitious single mom split with Casey and now lives in a small apartment with Maddie. She gave her first concert at Nashville’s famed live music venue The Rutledge in November. She’ll release her debut country music album later this year.

“It’s funny that Jamie Lynn chose country music instead of pop music like her big sis Britney,” said the insider.

“But Jamie Lynn doesn’t want to compete with Brit­ney, and she’s determined to make her country music dream come true!”
