New Jersey-born BRELAND began writing songs as a teenager, inspired by a diverse collection of sounds and eclectic artists like the Beatles, Rascal Flatts, Prince, and his number-one influence, Stevie Wonder. While attending Georgetown University, BRELAND knocked on every possible music-industry door and eventually broke through as a songwriter, landing a number of high-profile cuts with rappers like Elhae and YK Osiris. But as he continued to work on his own music, BRELAND soon posted "My Truck" on social media as a challenge to determine whether he could elicit 500 comments - and after smashing that goal, self-released the track to multi-platform success. Along with paving the way for BRELAND's signing to Bad Realm/Atlantic Records, "My Truck" sparked headline-worthy streaming success, including hitting #1 on Spotify's Global Viral 50 and US Viral 50 charts. Praised by Rolling Stone as "1,000 percent the whole package," BRELAND has been featured in leading press outlets like Genius, Paper, USA TODAY and Billboard's "Emerging Artists Spotlight," and in April released a remix of "My Truck" featuring Country superstar Sam Hunt. BRELAND's self-titled EP debut arrived May 22, featuring both versions of "My Truck" and five other standout co-writes.

With the arrival of his instantly iconic, PLATINUM-certified debut single "My Truck," singer/songwriter/producer BRELAND emerged as a bold new force on today's music landscape. Originally from New Jersey, BRELAND moved to Atlanta after graduating from Georgetown University, kicking off his songwriting career by scoring cuts with artists like YK Osiris and Ann Marie. Soon after releasing "My Truck" in late 2019, he saw the wildly catchy hybrid of Hip-Hop and Country hit #1 on Spotify's Global Viral 50, with a remix featuring Country-hitmaker Sam Hunt landing on best-of-the-year lists from leading outlets like NPR and The New York Times. The song's breakout success also paved the way for his signing to Bad Realm Records/Atlantic Records, and led to collaborations with heavy-hitters from the Country, Pop, and Hip-Hop worlds (including Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts, Nelly, Blanco Brown, Lauren Alaina, Chase Rice, and Keith Urban). BRELAND's early-2021 single "Cross Country" further reveals his passion for transcending boundaries and continues his mission of breaking down genre barriers and redefining the possibilities of Country music. Now at work on the follow-up to his 2020 self-titled debut EP, the Nashville-based artist made his national TV debut with "Cross Country" on The Kelly Clarkson Show, where she surprised him with a PLATINUM plaque for "My Truck". He has also been praised by Rolling Stone as "1,000 percent the whole package," featured on Billboard's "Emerging Artists Spotlight," and earned acclaim from major press outlets like Genius, Paper, and USA TODAY.
