Brett Daniels roots are deeply embedded in Country Music having been born in Houston, Texas and then growing up in Hot Springs Arkansas and St. Louis, Missouri. Brett's love of Country Music started at the age of five when his father bought him his first guitar. After college in St. Louis, Brett moved to Austin, Texas where he worked for Dell Computer while pursuing a career in modeling and acting. Brett has appeared in several print ads around Texas. Brett started a performance class with one of the leading vocal coaches in Texas. Brett performed in some local clubs and corporate functions around Texas and was starting to make a name for himself in Austin when family obligations caused Brett to return to St. Louis. There, Brett met his manager and business partner Bert Coleman. Bert has worked as National and Regional Promotion Director for some leading Major and Independent record labels. He has also worked in radio and appeared in various Broadway Shows and National Commercials. Bert introduced Brett to a casting director in St. Louis and was chosen to be a principal in the Anheuser Busch "True Music" campaign, and a Jack Daniels ad which will start in the UK and later run in the States in 2005. Brett also has appeared in two independent films that are being shown at film festivals around the country. With Bert's contacts in the Entertainment Industry they have been receiving original material from Grammy-winning songwriters Dean Pitchford (Footloose/Fame), Alan Rich, Dian Scanlon, and other songwriters from around the country. Brett recently worked with producer Marty Rifkin (Tom Petty, Buddy Jewell, Bruce Springsteen, and Smokey Robinson to name a few) in Los Angeles on his new single "What Becomes of The Broken Hearted." Writer Billy Lee (Gary Alan's "The One") is impressed and has expressed interest in working with Brett on some songs. Brett has performed at some of the top country venues in Austin, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Seattle and St. Louis. Though Brett has been inspired by such traditional and contemporary artists as Johnny Cash, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, and Kenny Chesney, he's developed his own style that is unique, while incorporating others. St. Louis has bred some famous Rock, R&B, and Hip Hop artists. Brett Daniels will soon join Gretchen Wilson as another country artist from St Louis to be a major force in the entertainment scene. With Brett's talent and looks he will be the next star in the Contemporary Country/Rock scene. Press: |
