Artist Bio

With a mysterious but gentle demeanor, Mississippi native Braden Gray pleasantly surprises his listeners with a rich baritone voice that exudes the rugged masculinity of a man's man, while at the same time is smoldering enough to make his female listeners weak in the knees. This unique blend of his voice can best be heard in Braden's self-titled debut album released by ATP Records which includes the hit single "A Little Less Lonely," which made it to number 38 with Music Row, number 8 with New Music Weekly and number 1 with Indie Country. The release of "A Little Less Lonely" came on the heels of an extensive summer radio tour where Braden wowed program directors at every station with his flawless acoustic rendition of the heartache-healing ballad performed live in their studios.

The self-titled debut album is best described by Braden as a collection of sincere lyrics matched with a sound that blends traditional country with hints of '90s country and an ever-so subtle rock edge. "Country music is a genre that is known for its genuine, heartfelt lyrics, and to me," he asserts, "honesty in country music is even more important than talent." Upon listening to the album, it's evident that Braden embodies both honesty and talent. It's this talent that has catapulted his first two singles on the New Music Weekly Top 50 Chart where his first single "It Won't Be Over You" reached #15 and his second single "Hungover" climbed to #10 while also reaching #58 on Music Row's CountryBreakout Chart.

Unlike most country music artists, Braden didn't originally choose music as a career path, but music was in his blood. His mother was a vocal instructor who taught her students at home. Many times as she was teaching voice lessons to her students she would ask Braden to participate. He would always agree, but once it came time for Braden to sing, he would find something that he "had to do" and sneak away. Later as a teenager he spent countless hours listening to his cousin's gospel group Paid In Full. Braden learned every song that the band performed and came to discover his own hidden talent that he didn't even know he had.

Once Braden shared his talents with friends and family, they supported his new-found passion with open arms. It was then that God began opening doors for him that he willingly walked through while not always knowing what was on the other side of them. He started winning talent competitions and performed at numerous festivals where he opened for such acts as Jake Owen, Emerson Drive, Eric Church, Joe Diffie, Little Texas, and the legendary Marty Stuart. After earning a singing scholarship at a local community college, Braden's grades dramatically improved, and eventually he was accepted into the music performance program at Nashville's Belmont University. Shortly after his arrival in Nashville, ATP Records president Mark Alan Thompson took notice of Braden's potential and signed him.

With Braden's singles having received heavy play on over 250 radio stations in the U.S. and Europe and the success of "A Little Less Lonely", fans around the world are getting a glimpse of what the folks in Mississippi already know. Braden Gray is an artist that has the potential to take country music to new limits. Your time to experience Braden Gray is now!
