With a blue-collar, working-class background, Bryan Martin lives the stories he writes. Those real-life emotions and experiences expressed in song resonate with audiences because the two are one and the same. From the oil fields where he was a “roughneck” on the rigs, to pursuing his hobby of writing songs & learning to play guitar, this self-taught musician is quickly becoming recognized as one of country music’s emerging new talents. Music was part of Bryan’s upbringing. His mother, who sang with Faron Young, Allison Krauss, and David Houston, recognized his talent at age 6. By the time he was 8, Bryan started singing at local festivals. As a teen, he stepped away from music to focus on working after school. He’d write songs on the side “for fun.” “Songwriting has always just been a hobby - a passion,” who now is celebrating the success of one of his songs, “Beauty In The Struggle,” which went viral on TikTok and hit the radar of music executives. Influenced by those traditional country artists that he grew up listening to, he honed his songwriting skills through the years. His diverse catalog of songs numbers over 3,000 ranging from traditional country & southern rock to outlaw country & country gospel. Martin hopes to be the greatest that he can be with the talent that he’s been given and strives to work harder than the next guy. He lives by the best advice he ever received – “Don’t let your head outrun your feet… follow your heart and stay true to your roots.”
