(01:07):

which is out there across all the DSPs. So we
continue kind of that follow up from my CEAM week
out there too. Brandon Wisham joining us here to a
new single. Call growing up, Brandon, How you doing, brother.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Doing good? Man, doing good, hanging out, enjoying the singles.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I'll tell you what I'm enjoying.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
The single I'll repeat a few times and it was
just on the playlist at the gym.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Hey talk about just your background too.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
We touch base a little bit of this in Nashville
during c E a week when you were there, but
you know, for the folks may have missed that program
across all the affiliates out there. Talk about just your
background and your connection to music and when this thing,
you know, becoming an artist, when it kind of took
off for you.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I mean, it's always kind of been a thing in
my life. Had a big family, so we had a
lot of influences in and out, seven siblings, so all genre,
don't leave one out. I've listened to it all and
I had some family I had some talents that kind
of got me interested in wanting to explore that at
a young age. And I learned guitar when I was ten.
I was singing probably about seven eight when I could
(02:08):
start to remember lyrics to songs. I mean, it's been
as early as that. And then yeah, man, TikTok started
posting a lot on just any platform that you know,
I feel like people would listen to me on and
doing a lot of covers. And then I feel like,
once it really started to kick off, I lost my
(02:29):
dad COVID and he single father. That was really the
moment I wanted to I knew what I wanted to
do and meet him connected through music and wrote my
first song about that situation and posted it on TikTok
and Bailey Zimmerman found it and he moved me to Nashville, dude,
And that was just kind of the landslide of you know,
publishing deals and management deals and writing songs and tour
(02:54):
and I mean just everything music. Man, it's just been
such a fast, fast lane to be in.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You remember that it's not even the surface of that.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Man, he struck a nerve there, obviously, you said, FASc
lating and we got to talk to Gary the box
there during week and maybe think of the Rascal Flat
song fast Cars and Freedom and almost in a nutshell
too for you, that's pretty cool. What a story man,
It's like the American dream. One of the hottest artists
of the planet can find you on TikTok. Hey, when
you mentioned about covers, what were some of your favorite
covers to kind of put on TikTok would you like
(03:25):
to do?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I was Luke Colmbs, dude, if you couldn't tell, Uh,
definitely was doing a lot of Luke Comb's music, especially
in twenty twenty. I felt like he was really popular
in like the Covid Uh. He like put the album
out close to my birthday. I always remember that when
it came out because it was like, I think it
was on the day of my birthday. Uh So, but
that was kind of what was popular at the time.
(03:47):
And a lot of Luke Combs, a lot of Morgan
Morgan Walling, loved some R and B. So I was doing,
you know, some Beaver, Chris Brown, Mario just kind of
and I was doing a little like I would re
make like popular female songs like Maddie and tay at
Die from Brooken Heart switched a few of like the
(04:10):
wordage and was doing that and that kind of got
a little bit of popularity off of that. But really
just anything that was popular I felt like would get attention.
I was covered.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I don't blame you, like I said. At the same time,
in social media, that's where it's out. I just found
it across all my platforms. I went over a million listeners.
It's crazy where it's at across all these things out there.
And like I said, now one of the top search
podcasts on iHeartRadio podcast and looking out there too from
the streaming stations and the affiliates. It's crazy how many
people listen to this program. And I mean you guys,
and the music too. And that's what's so changed so
much of Brandon I think the last twenty twenty five,
(04:42):
maybe thirty years. I grew up a nineties country fan myself,
and so I loved it to its core into a
t Now it's starting to make a little bit of
a comeback yourself, and a lot of your songs. You
sound like a very much a nineties country fan.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Thank you. I am one hundred percent. I was introduced
to country with you know, the older, the older style
of it. My dad was super into just older country
nineties eighties. I mean he listened to it all Outlaw Country,
Hank all the way from Hank to Blake Shelton was
his favorites. And that's kind of where I got introduced
to it. So it definitely has that flavor into my
(05:15):
music I tried to.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Anyways, looking back at this industry helped me much.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
How it's changed so much now before streaming is a
huge part of that too when you look back, when
I go back to one that you had put out
there too, which was before we played a couple songs
here on the show today, Back Together, Let's talk about
this one here a little bit of the writing and
the story behind it.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, so back Together it was the first song I
put out back in March, and it was the debut.
It was still insane to see the continued growth and
continue love for the song, but we wrote that. I
don't think it was necessarily anything we were going through
as I wrote it with Gavin Lucas and Brandon Hood,
which Brendan Hood ended up becoming my producer for all
(05:57):
the other records, so he did all the records that
were gonna be talking about. But yeah, man, we we
really just wanted to write. I'm a huge Chris Davidson
fan as well, and I feel like that has that
Southern rock just real, you know, rugged you know, southern
rock feel, and uh added the country element into it,
and really just wanted to write a song. It just
(06:19):
about feeling, you know, unconnected or like you can't turn
back something that you did maybe in a love situation,
or can't put the pieces back together as what we
came in with. And I love the song. Still still
one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Gotta be the special part.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You mentioned the publishing deals and going through it becoming
a songwriter not just a singer at the same time,
walk me through kind of that branding Wisham school of songwriting.
What do you kind of look out for hooks and
things like that or fantasy stuff or having having to
live it to be able to write it?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Talk about that for me.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, I feel like, for one, I have a superpower
that I didn't even know I had. I can really
write about. I feel like I'm a really good storyteller,
so I don't really have to feel or like have
lived what I'm wanting to write about I feel like
a lot of it has, Like my debut single is
something that you know, I lived and was currently going through.
(07:09):
But I just really look I learned from a lot
of great writers my first year, obviously, with Bailey kind
of co signing me into the writing thing, getting me
into it kind of gave me a little push. So
I was getting in rooms with people that's written hits
for George Strait and Morgan, writers that you know write
on Morgan Wallin's record, and Tyler Hubbard was a person
(07:32):
I wrote in one of my like my first year here.
So it was like I was writing with really really
good writers and that's who I was learning from. And
my process really revolves around if you go through my
voice memos on my phone, it voice memos almost doesn't
even work anymore. I have so many ideas, but I'll
usually just start by humming something, or if I see
(07:53):
a line in a movie or really just anything melodically.
I'll wake up and hear a melody something on a
dream or something, and I just kind of record it,
go into a room and we kind of just figure
it out from there, and we just kind of start
with melody and work our way from that.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Love that process there too.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Time to play a little music here on the backstage
past that came out back in May of this year,
twenty twenty five. It's Brandon Wisham and the second single

I feel like I'm so proud of it, so proud
I love it.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Man, Hey back here, presented by Being Big Construction Services
and our friends over at the Kada and Gordon Show
dot com Today's best country mix out there talk about
this when I mentioned the second single. But man again,
you mentioned that school of songwriting and how much you
love it, you know, through that voice memo and you
get the hooks and you feel like you really haven't
had to have lived it to be able to put
it in a song. Like I said, you can get
fantasized there and you know, pull it there. I'm sure
(13:46):
you probably wake up two three o'clock in the morning
some time of lyrics, So like, that's a song.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Let me go write that down. Talk about better than
the day for me? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Man, So going back to earlier, man, I'm just I
was a hugely Combs fan growing up. I was hugely
Combs fan. I feel like I love the way he
took maybe titles that didn't really have or what you
would really not think is a happy meaning or just
just not really happy songs, and he kind of made
(14:12):
them into these summer bangers of just like being Never
Broke My Heart being a breakup song if you read
it lyrically. And then when you hear it. It's just
this big summer boat song anthem, and I feel like
I was obsessed with how he was writing that, and
I wanted to write a song I felt like he'd
be proud of. And yeah, we posted it, and that
was kind of the inspiration behind it. Was just really
(14:34):
trying to see something that he'd be proud of.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Hey, like I said, you got that influence to no
doubt in the music from the Lucom sound, but it's
kind of your own sound.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Talk about what's next in the works.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
We're gonna play this one called it growing up Here
in a Little Bit, just came out June twentieth, across
all the DSPs out there, but full length album, more
singles EPs.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Talk about what's next.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Man, We're really we kind of have we kind of
have an up in the airplane, really just getting music out.
I feel like I didn't put up music out when
I was torn the last last year, and we're really
just trying to get as much music as we can.
Whether that's an EP at the end of the year,
I'm not really sure yet, but you are getting a
lot more songs before the end of the year, and
(15:14):
possibly at the top of the ear top of the year.
If it's not an EP album by the end of
this year, it'll be, you know next year. Really just
pushing out as much as possible, a lot of good music,
a lot.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Of good music ready for that too. I mentioned how
much of a blurt out was WIG just a couple
of weeks ago there. I feel like we never really
came back from it, or we never settled down.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It was so busy. Give me some of your favorite
parts of the week, because I know it had to
go by fast for you too.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Oh man, dude, Yeah, we did a lot of stuff.
I was on three different four different planes. We was
flying them out the no Sleep shout out to that.
I feel like just the grind of, you know, having
all these shows, all the opportunities, every opportunity that I
felt like I got to do was my favorite part
because I was last year I was playing in a
(15:58):
corner at Assembly food Hall, which will just as fire,
but just respecting the grind and like it's such a
it was such a really cool moment to see the
growth on, Like I feel like I'm going in the
right direction for sure.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Well, you got a great team there too. I give
a shout out there to UMG one of the top
labels out there too. At the same time, great people
around you talk about that because everybody needs that support system, right, Yeah,
one hundred percent.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
Man.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I feel like from the get go when I met
when Bailey brought me up to Nashville and I met
with the Core Entertainment chief Simon, Tracy, Britt Mace, everybody
that's on my team, it was just a family thing
from the get go, and I feel like it was
a lot less paper and a lot more handshakes, and
that just kind of from the get go made me
feel more comfortable to go, you know, just a big
(16:46):
big step signing deals and you know, making sure you're
you're you're planning out what your future wants to be.
And I feel like everybody on my team cares and
wants longevity, you know, and I feel like that's what
kind of makes everything, what makes the world spin for sure.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Yeah, you gotta have a peace of mind too, with
your representatives and the people that surround you with the
stuff of the good team, you can go out and
make your music relax and there's not a lot of
that micro managing going on. That's the way I feel
it is. For my show here too. Just freedom to
do what you want to do, go out, put out
great programs, and the listeners. You know, going over a
million listeners speaks for itself, no doubt, uh, looking back,
talk about the reverse side of it some of the
challenges in this industry too, that you do face too
(17:22):
because a lot of you fans you see glitz and glamour,
but those who don't know music like you and I do,
and the die hard kind of ins and outs of
this business.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Talk about some of the challenges you go through as
an artist.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, man, uh, if I'm honest. Travel, I wasn't really
a big traveler growing up, never was on a plane.
My first my first couple of flights was flying in
Nashville and then a private plane with Bailey, uh, you know,
over to the West coast. So it was like travel
has been a big thing. I've been battling just getting
up early. Really I'm not. I'm a sleeping guy.
Speaker 13 (17:54):
Love.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
We've been doing good. Other than that, man, I just
feel like, really, I don't know, I feel like I've
been having so much fun. I don't really feel being
away from family one hundred. I think that would be
my my big I'm such a big family guy, whether
that's friends, girlfriends, you know, everything in that realm of family.
(18:16):
Being away from them is hard, but it's worth it
when you get back in, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
For sure, no doubt about it, till you got to
balance that work life and life too at the same time. Again,

Brandon Wisham, So we got to talk about this man,
because there everyone was a ballot. People needed to hear
this would be it right growing up?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, man, gosh, this song to me means so much.
So I went through a weird come to life realization
that I was like, holy rap, I'm twenty two years old,
and I know that seems so young. A lot of
older people has laughed when I said that, but I
(23:49):
just feel like, and maybe you can attest to it.
I feel like when you when you hit that age
when you're like, I'm an adult and I just happened,
like I moved away when I was nine, team seven
hours away to Nashville to figure this out, and you know,
life was moving really fast for me, and really just
the growth and a lot of you know, dragging here
(24:11):
and there and doing these shows over here and traveling
you know, across the border over here, like just doing
all these big things. I had a moment a couple
of weeks ago where I really just sat down and
got to really reflect and realize, Man, this life ain't forever, dude,
and you try to cramp all this stuff into your lifespan,
(24:31):
and like you want to make sure, like we were saying,
balance between family and you know, your career and me
particular music, Like I want to make sure I do
what I like, accomplish what I want in music and
just as a human man. And I feel like a
lot of people can lose sight of realizing that, hey,
I hate to tell you, but you're You're a human
(24:53):
and you know it's it happens. And growing up has
been terrifying for me in a way of just doesn't up, man.
And I feel like with time that that make it better,
you know, come to a come to an agreement with
yourself that you just can't stop it. And I feel
like with faith as well, big you know, I have
it on my on my chest at all times. You
(25:14):
know there is a forever. But man, it's just a
scary thought to me at the moment. And time flies,
time flies.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Father time catches up with us all my friend liking
it that we don't out there too at the same time.
And I tell you right, trying to cram so much
stuff into a single day, there's only twenty four hours
in that day, and it's just never enough time to
do that.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Let's have a little fun with it too, free time.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
You seem like an outdoors kind of hunting, fishing kind
of guy talking about that for me.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Man, dude, I picked up I'm starting to pick up hunting.
I've never I've never been, but I have a lot
of stuff lined up for this season. Like I said,
and being away and then my father passing away, we
didn't really get to connect on that level quite as much.
But I have uncles and friends with you know, friends
dads and friends that I've met on tour, going hunting,
(26:02):
you know in Washington out in like Spokane area, So
really getting into that fishing, love fishing, go fishing with
the boys all the time. I have roommates their artists
as well, kind of get some free time. Golf, amateur golf.
I mean, you can't get much better than me. I'm
driving straight into the woods probably every drive. But if
you give me a seven iron, I'll get you there
(26:24):
in a couple of strokes.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Uh that and I'm a big video game guy. Big.
I mean you could tell by my posture. I'm always
on the video game, always on the game.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Uh dude, I'm on a call of Duty kick right now,
call duty Apex Rainbow six Seeds just like rebranded a
little bit, like updated their game and playing that again.
Big on sports. So two K. Anybody listening, if you
want to get dropped off in two K, I'll give
you my usual name. I'm really good at two K.
So we'll see if you know freakuzy who can be me?
(27:00):
Two K for sure?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
All right, pro and college teams? So do you root
for it? Pro in college?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yep? So college? LSU we kind of touched on it.
My dad is a big Georgia fan. I'm from Georgia.
I was raised South Carolina, so it is either Clinton
or Georgia. I wanted to, you know, make a lot
of my family upset with me, so I chose LSU.
Me and my brother are kind of out, you know, outcast.
I like the Bengals because I just recently started watching
(27:29):
more pro football. Was always just college, but Joe Burrow
Lsu kind of where I picked that up. Not a
big baseball guy, but Lsu I believe just did very good.
I watched a little bit of one won the.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
National championship for the eighth time in school history. How
about that.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah, that's good. I don't know much about baseball, but
that sounds good to me. That sounds something I can
brag about the.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Second time in three years. And this man, they're gonna
have a lot of players just like they did on
the twenty twenty three team. Yeah, and some other guys
out there get drafted of the pros. And it is
crazy how much of a pipeline NLSU baseball has become
for Major League baseball now.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It's crazy, for sure.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I can I can only imagine, dude, I could only imagine.
But and then basketball, I'm really just a player. Guy.
I love Luca right now. Luka Doncic is probably one
of my favorites to watch. My opinion, the best point
guard in the league is the mellow ball. I love
his style. He's just smooth with it, Dude. He just
looks comfortable, and that's what I like to watch.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Tell you what I'm excited about down here too, with
the NBA Draft coming up here in June tonight and
the twenty fifth and of course you're looking back at
it over the next few weeks. There has already been
some trades go down in the NBA. I'm a huge
Rockets fan, and of course this fist year, fifty two wins,
second seed in the West, lost to Golden State in
the first round. We didn't have that one guy. And
I'm sure you heard Kevin Durant Houston. I am ecstatic.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
My first scary, that's scary. I think I think he
needs He's been searching for his place, and I feel
like there's definitely potential in Houston for him, uh to
kind of, you know, get something going, get something back.
I was a huge Oklahoma City fan growing up. I
had stickers all over my wall. Was huge KD you know.
I mean, he was one of my favorite players. So
(29:12):
to see him really just trying to find his place
is inspiring to me for sure.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I'll tell you what he sees. Damn good at it
out there too. All right, let's talk about this. We
both love the category. Everybody loves food here on the
backstage pass and any radio show out there too.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
So got a chance to try some new things. When
I was out there.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
The diner of the sixth floor went up there downtown,
right there, not too far from Broadway. Jay Alexander's was
really good for me. Uh three one two Pizza which
is over in Germantown. Love that deep dish. I'm not
really a deep dish kind of guy, but I mean
that was one night we had to try it. Because
I like a thin crust food in Nashville, I'm no
stranger to it.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Nobody is what do you like to eat?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Oh man, dude, velvet taco has a hold on me.
And you may know because you're a Texas guy. Velt
tacos just I mean, I would die for for that.
Whoever invented the tacos on that in you. I'm a
huge buffalo guy. They have a Buffalo taco as far
as other other stuff outside of that, there's a place
(30:08):
right beside it things called two Boots Pizza. It has
thin slices, really big pizzas. They're so good I'm trying
to think. I mean, I'm a huge wings guy, a
huge wings guy, so like there's a wing spot forget
its downtown. I've only went once, but I wish I
would have went more. Anything with Buffalo wings. Dude, I'm
(30:30):
such a picky eater that as simple as possible.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Simple as possible. Like I said, we got a chance
to be picky eaters out there too, and we can.
Especially I'm on this nutrition kick now. So it's like
I went through Chick fil A on the way home
from the gym to day too, and I got stuck
in traffic.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I was like, well, I love that.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Fried chicken, but I'm like, you've been doing so good.
Get the grilled chickens a sandwich. I'm like, okay, well chicken,
so I had to do good today. Of course, Still
I had the large fry of the power ead.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I feel like I can sell. I've been actually on
flake kick as well, and I used to go spicy
chicken sandwich, pepper jack cheese my thing. Now I just
get the grilled nuggets and I'm like, man, I had
twelve grilled nuggets. I can eat. I can eat a
large fry and meal. Okay.
Speaker 10 (31:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
That's the good thing about talking food on this program.
All right, let's have all the fun with this one.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Had you never gone that path, and thank god you
did with Bailey finding you out there all the social
media hits and become a musician, what other career path
would you have.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Taken, man, Dude, I did a lot of stuff in
high school and actually when I graduated, if I'm being realistic,
I'd probably still be on pipeline. My brother was a pipeline.
We did fiber communications, I mean waterline, anything to do
a pipeline. We were subcontracting, so we did a lot
of stuff like subcontracting for like Duke Power and stuff
(31:47):
in Georgia. But yeah, man, if I'm realistic, that's probably
where I would have been if I didn't do music.
But I did a lot of stuff, like did some
police academy in school. Our high school had like a
police academy thing, like a program outside of the school
that I did. We did. Dad are asphalt, dude. My dad.
(32:09):
My dad worked at saloon. This is an asphalt company
in South Carolina. If it wasn't pipeline, I'd probably been there.
If I'm realistic, that's probably where i'd be. For sure.
Speaker 3 (32:20):

it too. And these these songs are really backing up

Speaker 2 (01:23):
I'll tell you what I'm enjoying.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
The single I'll repeat a few times and it was
just on the playlist at the gym.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Hey talk about just your background too.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
We touch base a little bit of this in Nashville
during c E a week when you were there, but
you know, for the folks may have missed that program
across all the affiliates out there. Talk about just your
background and your connection to music and when this thing,
you know, becoming an artist, when it kind of took
off for you.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I mean, it's always kind of been a thing in
my life. Had a big family, so we had a
lot of influences in and out, seven siblings, so all genre,
don't leave one out. I've listened to it all and
I had some family I had some talents that kind
of got me interested in wanting to explore that at
a young age. And I learned guitar when I was ten.
I was singing probably about seven eight when I could
(02:08):
start to remember lyrics to songs. I mean, it's been
as early as that. And then yeah, man, TikTok started
posting a lot on just any platform that you know,
I feel like people would listen to me on and
doing a lot of covers. And then I feel like,
once it really started to kick off, I lost my
(02:29):
dad COVID and he single father. That was really the
moment I wanted to I knew what I wanted to
do and meet him connected through music and wrote my
first song about that situation and posted it on TikTok
and Bailey Zimmerman found it and he moved me to Nashville, dude,
And that was just kind of the landslide of you know,
publishing deals and management deals and writing songs and tour
(02:54):
and I mean just everything music. Man, it's just been
such a fast, fast lane to be in.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You remember that it's not even the surface of that.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Man, he struck a nerve there, obviously, you said, FASc
lating and we got to talk to Gary the box
there during week and maybe think of the Rascal Flat
song fast Cars and Freedom and almost in a nutshell
too for you, that's pretty cool. What a story man,
It's like the American dream. One of the hottest artists
of the planet can find you on TikTok. Hey, when
you mentioned about covers, what were some of your favorite
covers to kind of put on TikTok would you like
(03:25):
to do?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I was Luke Colmbs, dude, if you couldn't tell, Uh,
definitely was doing a lot of Luke Comb's music, especially
in twenty twenty. I felt like he was really popular
in like the Covid Uh. He like put the album
out close to my birthday. I always remember that when
it came out because it was like, I think it
was on the day of my birthday. Uh So, but
that was kind of what was popular at the time.
(03:47):
And a lot of Luke Combs, a lot of Morgan
Morgan Walling, loved some R and B. So I was doing,
you know, some Beaver, Chris Brown, Mario just kind of
and I was doing a little like I would re
make like popular female songs like Maddie and tay at
Die from Brooken Heart switched a few of like the
(04:10):
wordage and was doing that and that kind of got
a little bit of popularity off of that. But really
just anything that was popular I felt like would get attention.
I was covered.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I don't blame you, like I said. At the same time,
in social media, that's where it's out. I just found
it across all my platforms. I went over a million listeners.
It's crazy where it's at across all these things out there.
And like I said, now one of the top search
podcasts on iHeartRadio podcast and looking out there too from
the streaming stations and the affiliates. It's crazy how many
people listen to this program. And I mean you guys,
and the music too. And that's what's so changed so
much of Brandon I think the last twenty twenty five,
(04:42):
maybe thirty years. I grew up a nineties country fan myself,
and so I loved it to its core into a
t Now it's starting to make a little bit of
a comeback yourself, and a lot of your songs. You
sound like a very much a nineties country fan.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Thank you. I am one hundred percent. I was introduced
to country with you know, the older, the older style
of it. My dad was super into just older country
nineties eighties. I mean he listened to it all Outlaw Country,
Hank all the way from Hank to Blake Shelton was
his favorites. And that's kind of where I got introduced
to it. So it definitely has that flavor into my
(05:15):
music I tried to.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Anyways, looking back at this industry helped me much.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
How it's changed so much now before streaming is a
huge part of that too when you look back, when
I go back to one that you had put out
there too, which was before we played a couple songs
here on the show today, Back Together, Let's talk about
this one here a little bit of the writing and
the story behind it.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, so back Together it was the first song I
put out back in March, and it was the debut.
It was still insane to see the continued growth and
continue love for the song, but we wrote that. I
don't think it was necessarily anything we were going through
as I wrote it with Gavin Lucas and Brandon Hood,
which Brendan Hood ended up becoming my producer for all
(05:57):
the other records, so he did all the records that
were gonna be talking about. But yeah, man, we we
really just wanted to write. I'm a huge Chris Davidson
fan as well, and I feel like that has that
Southern rock just real, you know, rugged you know, southern
rock feel, and uh added the country element into it,
and really just wanted to write a song. It just
(06:19):
about feeling, you know, unconnected or like you can't turn
back something that you did maybe in a love situation,
or can't put the pieces back together as what we
came in with. And I love the song. Still still
one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Gotta be the special part.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You mentioned the publishing deals and going through it becoming
a songwriter not just a singer at the same time,
walk me through kind of that branding Wisham school of songwriting.
What do you kind of look out for hooks and
things like that or fantasy stuff or having having to
live it to be able to write it?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Talk about that for me.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, I feel like, for one, I have a superpower
that I didn't even know I had. I can really
write about. I feel like I'm a really good storyteller,
so I don't really have to feel or like have
lived what I'm wanting to write about I feel like
a lot of it has, Like my debut single is
something that you know, I lived and was currently going through.
(07:09):
But I just really look I learned from a lot
of great writers my first year, obviously, with Bailey kind
of co signing me into the writing thing, getting me
into it kind of gave me a little push. So
I was getting in rooms with people that's written hits
for George Strait and Morgan, writers that you know write
on Morgan Wallin's record, and Tyler Hubbard was a person
(07:32):
I wrote in one of my like my first year here.
So it was like I was writing with really really
good writers and that's who I was learning from. And
my process really revolves around if you go through my
voice memos on my phone, it voice memos almost doesn't
even work anymore. I have so many ideas, but I'll
usually just start by humming something, or if I see
(07:53):
a line in a movie or really just anything melodically.
I'll wake up and hear a melody something on a
dream or something, and I just kind of record it,
go into a room and we kind of just figure
it out from there, and we just kind of start
with melody and work our way from that.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Love that process there too.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Time to play a little music here on the backstage
past that came out back in May of this year,
twenty twenty five. It's Brandon Wisham and the second single
he put out, better than the Day. Here it is

I love it.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Man, Hey back here, presented by Being Big Construction Services
and our friends over at the Kada and Gordon Show
dot com Today's best country mix out there talk about
this when I mentioned the second single. But man again,
you mentioned that school of songwriting and how much you
love it, you know, through that voice memo and you
get the hooks and you feel like you really haven't
had to have lived it to be able to put
it in a song. Like I said, you can get
fantasized there and you know, pull it there. I'm sure
(13:46):
you probably wake up two three o'clock in the morning
some time of lyrics, So like, that's a song.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Let me go write that down. Talk about better than
the day for me? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Man, So going back to earlier, man, I'm just I
was a hugely Combs fan growing up. I was hugely
Combs fan. I feel like I love the way he
took maybe titles that didn't really have or what you
would really not think is a happy meaning or just
just not really happy songs, and he kind of made
(14:12):
them into these summer bangers of just like being Never
Broke My Heart being a breakup song if you read
it lyrically. And then when you hear it. It's just
this big summer boat song anthem, and I feel like
I was obsessed with how he was writing that, and
I wanted to write a song I felt like he'd
be proud of. And yeah, we posted it, and that
was kind of the inspiration behind it. Was just really
(14:34):
trying to see something that he'd be proud of.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Hey, like I said, you got that influence to no
doubt in the music from the Lucom sound, but it's
kind of your own sound.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Talk about what's next in the works.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
We're gonna play this one called it growing up Here

I feel like I didn't put up music out when
I was torn the last last year, and we're really
just trying to get as much music as we can.
Whether that's an EP at the end of the year,
I'm not really sure yet, but you are getting a
lot more songs before the end of the year, and
(15:14):
possibly at the top of the ear top of the year.
If it's not an EP album by the end of
this year, it'll be, you know next year. Really just
pushing out as much as possible, a lot of good music,
a lot.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Of good music ready for that too. I mentioned how
much of a blurt out was WIG just a couple
of weeks ago there. I feel like we never really
came back from it, or we never settled down.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It was so busy. Give me some of your favorite
parts of the week, because I know it had to
go by fast for you too.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Oh man, dude, Yeah, we did a lot of stuff.
I was on three different four different planes. We was
flying them out the no Sleep shout out to that.
I feel like just the grind of, you know, having
all these shows, all the opportunities, every opportunity that I
felt like I got to do was my favorite part
because I was last year I was playing in a
(15:58):
corner at Assembly food Hall, which will just as fire,
but just respecting the grind and like it's such a
it was such a really cool moment to see the
growth on, Like I feel like I'm going in the
right direction for sure.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Well, you got a great team there too. I give
a shout out there to UMG one of the top
labels out there too. At the same time, great people
around you talk about that because everybody needs that support system, right, Yeah,
one hundred percent.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
Man.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I feel like from the get go when I met
when Bailey brought me up to Nashville and I met
with the Core Entertainment chief Simon, Tracy, Britt Mace, everybody
that's on my team, it was just a family thing
from the get go, and I feel like it was
a lot less paper and a lot more handshakes, and
that just kind of from the get go made me
feel more comfortable to go, you know, just a big
(16:46):
big step signing deals and you know, making sure you're
you're you're planning out what your future wants to be.
And I feel like everybody on my team cares and
wants longevity, you know, and I feel like that's what
kind of makes everything, what makes the world spin for sure.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Yeah, you gotta have a peace of mind too, with
your representatives and the people that surround you with the
stuff of the good team, you can go out and
make your music relax and there's not a lot of
that micro managing going on. That's the way I feel
it is. For my show here too. Just freedom to
do what you want to do, go out, put out
great programs, and the listeners. You know, going over a
million listeners speaks for itself, no doubt, uh, looking back,
talk about the reverse side of it some of the
challenges in this industry too, that you do face too
(17:22):
because a lot of you fans you see glitz and glamour,
but those who don't know music like you and I do,
and the die hard kind of ins and outs of
this business.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Talk about some of the challenges you go through as
an artist.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, man, uh, if I'm honest. Travel, I wasn't really
a big traveler growing up, never was on a plane.
My first my first couple of flights was flying in
Nashville and then a private plane with Bailey, uh, you know,
over to the West coast. So it was like travel
has been a big thing. I've been battling just getting
up early. Really I'm not. I'm a sleeping guy.
Speaker 13 (17:54):
Love.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
We've been doing good. Other than that, man, I just
feel like, really, I don't know, I feel like I've
been having so much fun. I don't really feel being
away from family one hundred. I think that would be
my my big I'm such a big family guy, whether
that's friends, girlfriends, you know, everything in that realm of family.
(18:16):
Being away from them is hard, but it's worth it
when you get back in, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
For sure, no doubt about it, till you got to
balance that work life and life too at the same time. Again,

Brandon Wisham, So we got to talk about this man,
because there everyone was a ballot. People needed to hear
this would be it right growing up?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, man, gosh, this song to me means so much.
So I went through a weird come to life realization
that I was like, holy rap, I'm twenty two years old,
and I know that seems so young. A lot of
older people has laughed when I said that, but I
(23:49):
just feel like, and maybe you can attest to it.
I feel like when you when you hit that age
when you're like, I'm an adult and I just happened,
like I moved away when I was nine, team seven
hours away to Nashville to figure this out, and you know,
life was moving really fast for me, and really just
the growth and a lot of you know, dragging here
(24:11):
and there and doing these shows over here and traveling
you know, across the border over here, like just doing
all these big things. I had a moment a couple
of weeks ago where I really just sat down and
got to really reflect and realize, Man, this life ain't forever, dude,
and you try to cramp all this stuff into your lifespan,
(24:31):
and like you want to make sure, like we were saying,
balance between family and you know, your career and me
particular music, Like I want to make sure I do
what I like, accomplish what I want in music and
just as a human man. And I feel like a
lot of people can lose sight of realizing that, hey,
I hate to tell you, but you're You're a human
(24:53):
and you know it's it happens. And growing up has
been terrifying for me in a way of just doesn't up, man.
And I feel like with time that that make it better,
you know, come to a come to an agreement with
yourself that you just can't stop it. And I feel
like with faith as well, big you know, I have
it on my on my chest at all times. You
(25:14):
know there is a forever. But man, it's just a
scary thought to me at the moment. And time flies,
time flies.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Father time catches up with us all my friend liking
it that we don't out there too at the same time.
And I tell you right, trying to cram so much
stuff into a single day, there's only twenty four hours
in that day, and it's just never enough time to
do that.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Let's have a little fun with it too, free time.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
You seem like an outdoors kind of hunting, fishing kind
of guy talking about that for me.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Man, dude, I picked up I'm starting to pick up hunting.
I've never I've never been, but I have a lot
of stuff lined up for this season. Like I said,
and being away and then my father passing away, we
didn't really get to connect on that level quite as much.
But I have uncles and friends with you know, friends
dads and friends that I've met on tour, going hunting,
(26:02):
you know in Washington out in like Spokane area, So
really getting into that fishing, love fishing, go fishing with
the boys all the time. I have roommates their artists
as well, kind of get some free time. Golf, amateur golf.
I mean, you can't get much better than me. I'm
driving straight into the woods probably every drive. But if
you give me a seven iron, I'll get you there
(26:24):
in a couple of strokes.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Uh that and I'm a big video game guy. Big.
I mean you could tell by my posture. I'm always
on the video game, always on the game.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Uh dude, I'm on a call of Duty kick right now,
call duty Apex Rainbow six Seeds just like rebranded a
little bit, like updated their game and playing that again.
Big on sports. So two K. Anybody listening, if you
want to get dropped off in two K, I'll give
you my usual name. I'm really good at two K.
So we'll see if you know freakuzy who can be me?
(27:00):
Two K for sure?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
All right, pro and college teams? So do you root
for it? Pro in college?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yep? So college? LSU we kind of touched on it.
My dad is a big Georgia fan. I'm from Georgia.
I was raised South Carolina, so it is either Clinton
or Georgia. I wanted to, you know, make a lot
of my family upset with me, so I chose LSU.
Me and my brother are kind of out, you know, outcast.
I like the Bengals because I just recently started watching
(27:29):
more pro football. Was always just college, but Joe Burrow
Lsu kind of where I picked that up. Not a
big baseball guy, but Lsu I believe just did very good.
I watched a little bit of one won the.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
National championship for the eighth time in school history. How
about that.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah, that's good. I don't know much about baseball, but
that sounds good to me. That sounds something I can
brag about the.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Second time in three years. And this man, they're gonna
have a lot of players just like they did on
the twenty twenty three team. Yeah, and some other guys
out there get drafted of the pros. And it is
crazy how much of a pipeline NLSU baseball has become
for Major League baseball now.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It's crazy, for sure.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I can I can only imagine, dude, I could only imagine.
But and then basketball, I'm really just a player. Guy.
I love Luca right now. Luka Doncic is probably one
of my favorites to watch. My opinion, the best point
guard in the league is the mellow ball. I love
his style. He's just smooth with it, Dude. He just
looks comfortable, and that's what I like to watch.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Tell you what I'm excited about down here too, with
the NBA Draft coming up here in June tonight and
the twenty fifth and of course you're looking back at
it over the next few weeks. There has already been
some trades go down in the NBA. I'm a huge
Rockets fan, and of course this fist year, fifty two wins,
second seed in the West, lost to Golden State in
the first round. We didn't have that one guy. And
I'm sure you heard Kevin Durant Houston. I am ecstatic.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
My first scary, that's scary. I think I think he
needs He's been searching for his place, and I feel
like there's definitely potential in Houston for him, uh to
kind of, you know, get something going, get something back.
I was a huge Oklahoma City fan growing up. I
had stickers all over my wall. Was huge KD you know.
I mean, he was one of my favorite players. So
(29:12):
to see him really just trying to find his place
is inspiring to me for sure.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I'll tell you what he sees. Damn good at it
out there too. All right, let's talk about this. We
both love the category. Everybody loves food here on the
backstage pass and any radio show out there too.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
So got a chance to try some new things. When
I was out there.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
The diner of the sixth floor went up there downtown,
right there, not too far from Broadway. Jay Alexander's was
really good for me. Uh three one two Pizza which
is over in Germantown. Love that deep dish. I'm not
really a deep dish kind of guy, but I mean
that was one night we had to try it. Because
I like a thin crust food in Nashville, I'm no
stranger to it.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Nobody is what do you like to eat?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Oh man, dude, velvet taco has a hold on me.
And you may know because you're a Texas guy. Velt
tacos just I mean, I would die for for that.
Whoever invented the tacos on that in you. I'm a
huge buffalo guy. They have a Buffalo taco as far
as other other stuff outside of that, there's a place
(30:08):
right beside it things called two Boots Pizza. It has
thin slices, really big pizzas. They're so good I'm trying
to think. I mean, I'm a huge wings guy, a
huge wings guy, so like there's a wing spot forget
its downtown. I've only went once, but I wish I
would have went more. Anything with Buffalo wings. Dude, I'm
(30:30):
such a picky eater that as simple as possible.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Simple as possible. Like I said, we got a chance
to be picky eaters out there too, and we can.
Especially I'm on this nutrition kick now. So it's like
I went through Chick fil A on the way home
from the gym to day too, and I got stuck
in traffic.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I was like, well, I love that.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Fried chicken, but I'm like, you've been doing so good.
Get the grilled chickens a sandwich. I'm like, okay, well chicken,
so I had to do good today. Of course, Still
I had the large fry of the power ead.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I feel like I can sell. I've been actually on
flake kick as well, and I used to go spicy
chicken sandwich, pepper jack cheese my thing. Now I just
get the grilled nuggets and I'm like, man, I had
twelve grilled nuggets. I can eat. I can eat a
large fry and meal. Okay.
Speaker 10 (31:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
That's the good thing about talking food on this program.
All right, let's have all the fun with this one.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Had you never gone that path, and thank god you
did with Bailey finding you out there all the social
media hits and become a musician, what other career path
would you have.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Taken, man, Dude, I did a lot of stuff in
high school and actually when I graduated, if I'm being realistic,
I'd probably still be on pipeline. My brother was a pipeline.
We did fiber communications, I mean waterline, anything to do
a pipeline. We were subcontracting, so we did a lot
of stuff like subcontracting for like Duke Power and stuff
(31:47):
in Georgia. But yeah, man, if I'm realistic, that's probably
where I would have been if I didn't do music.
But I did a lot of stuff, like did some
police academy in school. Our high school had like a
police academy thing, like a program outside of the school
that I did. We did. Dad are asphalt, dude. My dad.
(32:09):
My dad worked at saloon. This is an asphalt company
in South Carolina. If it wasn't pipeline, I'd probably been there.
If I'm realistic, that's probably where i'd be. For sure.
