Raised in Orange Grove, TX (pop. 1,200), Bryant’s grandfather played piano for Roy Orbison and Waylon Jennings. His uncles co-founded the group Ricochet. Conway, Merle, Petty, Vince, Bob Wills, Steve Wariner, Bryan Adams and more were early influences as were records by Keith Urban, Sarah Buxton and Jedd Hughes. “Those records told me that I could be a mainstream country artist and also write guitar riffs that would stick in somebody’s head,” says Bryant.
Bryant’s guitar-wielding Top 10 debut single “Take It On Back” has reached THREE MILLION combined views on YouTube/ VEVO, spent 15 consecutive weeks on the CMT Hot 20 Countdown and is a GAC Top 20 Country Countdown video. “Take It On Back” was a Top 20 Billboard Hot Country Song in the U.S. and a Top 20 Most Watched Video on VEVO TV Nashville. Internationally, the single is a Top 20 hit in Canada and soared to become the #1 video on Australia’s CMC Countdown.
Bryant’s Top 3 up-tempo rocker “Little Bit Of You” lead Rolling Stone to laud Bryant one of it’s “10 New Country Artists You Need To Know.” Bryant’s new single, the smoldering “Room To Breathe” marks a thrilling evolution in the young star’s artistry.
