Who is Tyler Braden?

Tyler Braden is a musician, singer, and former firefighter. He is best known for his gritty powerhouse vocals in country songs and his conviction-worthy lyrics.

Braden was born in Slapout, Alabama, on 5 February 1993. Although he has not given out details of his parents and other family members, he has disclosed that they were all singers. Coming from a musical family, Braden discovered his love for music from an early age. He sang at local events, family functions, and also at church.

Immediately after high school, Braden began to pursue a music career seriously. At the age of 19, he became associated with a rock band and covered the music of famous rock bands like Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace. However, when not performing with the group, he gave his time to country music and made it his forte.

Alongside being involved in music, Braden was a firefighter, also referred to as the first responder. From Alabama, he relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2016 and continued with his music and firefighting.

Though he is an Alabama native, he has spent more than half of the last decade in Tennessee. Thus, Braden now calls Tennessee his new home.
