Early life

Bryan hails from Oologah, Oklahoma.[4] He is the son of Dewayne Bryan and Annette DeAnn (Mullen) Bryan, and has a sister, MacKenzie.[5] Continuing a family tradition, Bryan was an active-duty member of the U.S. Navy. He used his spare time to write music for his enjoyment.[6]

Musical career

Bryan started uploading his music to YouTube in 2017, with his friends recording him perform using his iPhone. One of his songs, "Heading South", eventually went viral.[6]

His debut studio album, DeAnn, was dedicated to his late mother and was released on August 24, 2019. It was written in two months and recorded in his barn.[7][6] A second album, Elisabeth, was released on May 8, 2020.

On April 10, 2021, Bryan made his Grand Ole Opry debut. He has since signed a deal with Warner Records to release his music.[2]

On October 14, 2021, Bryan announced that he was honorably discharged by the U.S. Navy after 8 years of service to pursue his career in music just ahead of his nationwide Fall 2021 "Ain't For Tamin' Tour".[8]
