Brandon Hartt is a rising force in modern country-rock — a blue-collar storyteller born and raised in Locust, North Carolina, carving out his own lane with grit, melody, and raw honesty. Raised on dirt roads, busted knuckles, and hand-me-down instruments, Brandon built a career the same way he builds a song: from the ground up, with no shortcuts and nothing faked.

A multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, writer, and producer, Hartt blends outlaw swagger, southern-rock power, and the emotional punch of classic country. His catalog ranges from rowdy 90s-influenced anthems to slow-burning cinematic ballads — all rooted in real life. He’s spent years behind the scenes shaping the sound of other artists, but now he’s fully stepping into his own spotlight with a voice and story that fans feel deep in their chest.

STREAMS, IMPACT & REPUTATION

Across his work as a producer, artist, and feature, Brandon has accumulated well over 200 million producer streams and more than 30 million artist streams (including features). He has quietly become one of the most impactful independent creatives in the modern country landscape.

Industry voices have called him a “country music maverick,” while fans

consistently echo the same truth after seeing him live:

“Brandon Hartt doesn’t just play songs —

he tells the kind of stories you feel in your chest. He’s the real deal.”

ROOTS & RISE

Brandon’s story starts on Austin Road in Locust, North Carolina, where small-town living meant learning to fix what was broken, keep moving when life hit hard, and find pride in what you build with your own hands. These lessons shaped his writing — gritty, honest, unpolished in the right places, and full of soul.

Before the streaming numbers and festival slots, Brandon was grinding the long way:

writing songs nonstop, playing field parties and tailgate shows, teaching himself guitar, piano, banjo, bass, harmonica, drums, and more. That relentless DIY spirit eventually led him to producing and writing for others, earning a reputation for authenticity long before most listeners ever saw his name on the cover art.

THE ARTIST CATALOG

As an artist, Hartt announced himself with the debut EP Gas — a project that showcased his melodic instincts, southern edge, and the raw vulnerability that has become his signature. Since then, he has delivered a steady wave of singles that highlight every side of his voice:

• “Who I Am” — a heartfelt anthem about identity and the fight to become who you’re meant to be.

• “Good Years,” “All My Trucks,” and “Redneck Girls” — gritty, fun, 90s-leaning country rooted in the small-town life he came from.

• More recent work pushes darker, deeper, and more cinematic, shaped by real loss, real love, and real growth.

Among his standout moments:

• “We Them Boys” with Denum Jones — a high-energy anthem that raced past 1 million views and became one of Brandon’s early breakout moments.

• “Cold Wind Blows” with Jam Wayne — a haunting, story-driven track whose music video also crossed millions of views, showcasing Hartt’s ability to bring weight and emotion to any record he touches.

These milestones, combined with the strength of his solo catalog,

are fueling the next chapter of his rise.

LIVE & ON THE ROAD

Brandon’s live reputation has grown fast — known for explosive energy, emotional authenticity, and the ability to turn a stage into a story. He’s appeared at hundreds of major events including Patriot Fest with Three Doors Down, and Country music stars Big & Rich,

where he delivered one of the most talked-about sets of the day.

A festival reviewer captured him perfectly:

“Hartt's talent is unmistakable.. He doesn’t just sing it — he lives it.”

THE ROAD AHEAD

With 200M+ producer streams, 30M+ artist streams, multiple million-view videos, and a rapidly expanding catalog, Brandon Hartt is stepping into a defining new era of his career.

For the first time in over two years, Brandon is gearing up to release brand-new music as an independent country artist. It starts this January, with the long-anticipated drop of “Where You Drink” and its official music video — a high-energy barroom burner that reintroduces Brandon with the fire, grit, and personality fans have been waiting for.

And that’s only the spark.

Following the launch, Brandon is rolling out a run of powerful,

story-driven songs that define the heart of who he is as a writer:

“Austin Road,” “County Line,” “High Sierra,” and the deeply personal “Born a Stranger.”

Each one ties directly into Brandon’s real life — his roots, his losses, his people, and the dirt-road truths he’s built his identity on. These songs mark the beginning of a larger vision: a raw, cinematic chapter built on authenticity, character, and lived-in storytelling.

"This new season isn’t a comeback.

It’s a pressure-point moment

— the start of something harder, louder, and truer

than anything I've ever released before." -BH
