Brad Douglas Paisley is a musician, singer, and songwriter. He was born on October 28, 1972, in Glen Dale, West Virginia, United States. He attended John Marshall High School in Glen Dale and graduated in 1991. He then studied for two years at West Liberty State College in West Liberty, West Virginia. Paisley later transferred to Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, where he received a full scholarship to study Music Business. He graduated in 1995 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the Mike Curb School of Music Business.
During his time at Belmont, Paisley interned at ASCAP, Atlantic Records, and the Fitzgerald-Hartley management firm. It was also at Belmont where he met Kelley Lovelace and Chris DuBois, who would later become his songwriting partners.
Paisley developed a passion for music at a young age. His grandfather gave him his first guitar when he was eight and taught him how to play. At the age of 10, Paisley performed publicly for the first time by singing in church. When he was 13, he wrote his first song titled “Born on Christmas Day,” a piece he would perform regularly throughout school and college.
His first taste of commercial success came in 1996 when country singer David Kersh recorded “Another You,” a song co-written by Paisley. This accomplishment helped launch his career in the music industry.
Brad Paisley's professional career began in earnest in 1999 with the release of his debut album, Who Needs Pictures, which became a commercial success and sold millions of copies. The album established him as a rising star in country music. In 2000, the Academy of Country Music honored him with the Horizon Award for Best New Male Vocalist.
Paisley released his second studio album, Part II, in 2001, featuring the standout hit “I’m Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin’ Song),” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. His third album, Mud on the Tires, included the hit single “Whiskey Lullaby” and also reached No. 1, further solidifying his career.
As a Grammy-winning country artist and a member of the Grand Ole Opry, Paisley has delivered a string of successful singles, including “She’s Everything,” “Remind Me” (a duet with Carrie Underwood), “I’m Still a Guy,” “Letter to Me,” “Welcome to the Future,” “The World,” “We Danced,” “American Saturday Night,” “Anything Like Me,” and “Find Yourself.” He has collaborated with numerous artists such as Chris DuBois, Kelley Lovelace, Frank Rogers, Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, and Little Big Town.
