Chanteur Country Canadien né Paul Renee Belobersycky, le 21
Juillet 1972 à Calgary
(Alberta).
Paul Brandt (born
Paul Rennee Belobersycky, July 21, 1972) was one of the Canadian country singers
able to take advantage of the massive success of
Shania Twain and parlay a successful
career for himself in America.
Brandt was born and raised Calgary, Alberta, where he sang gospel music and
learned to play guitar as a child. During high school, he began playing local
talent contests, singing his own songs. Most of his original material was
directly inspired by neo-traditionalists like
Dwight Yoakam and
George Strait. Instead of pursuing
country music as a full-time career, he decided to attend college and study
nursing. For two years, Brandt went to college and practised as a pediatric
nurse at Alberta's Children's Hospital. However, he continued to enter local
talent contests and to place well in each event.
The turning point in Brandt's musical career came when he entered a national
contest sponsored by the Canadian performance organization, SOCAN. At the
contest, Brandt won first prize for Best Original Canadian Country Song with "Calm
Before the Storm," and placed as the runner-up for Best Performance. The SOCAN
competition was monitored by several insiders in the Nashville music community,
and Warner Bros. expressed interest in signing the singer. A demo tape of
Brandt's songs made its way to Reprise's Nashville office. Reprise arranged to
see a showcase concert by Brandt and, following the show, the label signed the
young singer.
After signing the record contract, Brandt moved to Nashville, where he recorded
his debut album with producer Josh Leo, who had previously worked with
Kathy Mattea and
Alabama. Brandt's debut, "Calm Before the
Storm," was released in June to critical acclaim and strong sales. Outside
the Frame was released the next year, followed by both That's the Truth
and A Paul Brandt Christmas: Shall I Play for You in 1999. The live album
Small Towns & Big Dreams arrived in 2001, followed by This Time Around
in 2004 and Gift in 2006.
