Brandon Wisham: Growin' Up, The Power of Social Media and Finding Peace in Music

In Episode 253 of Outside The Round, host Matt Burrill welcomes rising country artist Brandon Wisham for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation. Born in Georgia but raised in South Carolina, Brandon reflects on his deep Southern roots and the life-changing moment that launched his career: posting a song on TikTok that caught fire overnight, eventually landing in the hands of Bailey Zimmerman, who recorded it himself. Since then, Brandon's journey has skyrocketed, leading to tours with Bailey Zimmerman, Tyler Hubbard, and Josh Ross. He opens up about signing his record deal, navigating the Nashville scene, and the stories behind fan-favorite songs like “She’s Good,” “Growin’ Up,” and “Better Than the Day.” This episode dives into Brandon's breakout moment, his dedication to songwriting, and how he's staying grounded through the whirlwind.
