Originally from Piedmont, South Carolina, rising producer Brandon Manley is creating a statement throughout the Nashville scene.
“Growing up in a small town made my music dreams seem unreachable, so I decided to join the military after a failed attempt at making music my main career,” explains Manley getting candid about his passion. “In 2019, hometown resident Ashland Craft was on The Voice and shortly contacted me about playing guitar for her.“
After that Brandon joined Craft by moving to Nashville and began to network and play guitar for several different rising artists. Brandon’s passion was put on a halt due to COVID and then he was forced to find a new way to make a living. Since then, Brandon’s been working through the Nashville scene and helping craft some of the hottest artists.
Throughout Brandon’s journey as a producer, he’s worked with a wide range of talent including Chase Matthews, David Morris, Jake Banfield, Ashlyn Marie, RSHVD, and many others.
“The best part of producing with upcoming artists is watching them grow. The most memorable parts are definitely in the process itself of creating the record,” explains Manley. “I consider the people I work with to be my friends, and it’s great to see my friends be successful.“
Brandon has worked with PopWrapped Country Newcomer to Watch, Chase Matthew. Not only did Brandon produce the viral-track “County Line,” but he also built an impressive resume.
With the impressive track Manley is embracing, the producer and songwriter aren’t slowing down anytime soon. For people that may relate to Manley’s story, he’s got some inspiration for you.
“Create your own sound and build with artists, instead of chasing the highest placements. I strongly believe that is the key to being a successful producer.”
