Hire: Dean Brody
Dean Brody was born on August 12, 1975, in Smithers, British Columbia, Canada. He grew up in Jaffray, a small rural town, where his love for music and storytelling developed amidst the scenic landscapes of British Columbia. As a teenager, Brody was drawn to country music and began playing the guitar and writing songs. Before pursuing music full-time, he worked in a sawmill and briefly moved to Alberta for work opportunities.
Pursuing a Music Career
Brody’s early attempts to establish a music career were challenging. He moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2004 to pursue songwriting but faced financial and personal struggles. A turning point came when he secured a publishing deal, which helped him hone his craft as a songwriter. Despite an initial setback when he was dropped by his first record label, he persevered, returning to Canada and focusing on creating music that resonated with his roots.
