Brad Cotter

Based on the guy himself, “music isn’t just my entire life, it’s my soulmate.” Nation vocalist and Nashville Celebrity 2004 champion Brad Cotter was raised in Auburn, AL, having a preacher for any father. Performing in the church’s choir launched Cotter to just how music can contact people’s hearts, and he made the decision it had been what he wished to do the others of his existence. Between the age groups of 11 and 17, he released five gospel albums where he sang, but he was still understanding how to play piano, acoustic guitar, drums, and bass. At age group 25 he began freelancing his tone of voice for demos and started writing tunes for the Warner/Chappell and EMI Music businesses. Nobody would indication him like a single artist, so attempted his fortune on Nashville Celebrity, a talent display like American Idol but having a nation twist. Viewers fell deeply in love with his visual appearance, solid tone of voice, and gracious, amiable attitude. There is tough competition the complete way, especially around the grand finale that discovered Cotter increasing against the greater traditional George Canyon. Cotter performed his personal track, “I Miss Me,” plus a spectacular edition of Tom Petty’s “The Waiting around,” and he stole the display combined with the name. The vocalist who acquired “been rejected by every label in Nashville at least four moments” now discovered himself using a agreement with Sony Music Nashville. The label released his debut, Individual Man, in July of 2004.
