Bio & Intro
Brandon Stansell is a singer/songwriter. His music video for his single "Hometown" was the first LGBTQ-themed video to premiere on CMT, and went on to be named one of Rolling Stone's 10 Best Country Videos of the year. Brandon's first album "Hurt People" is a beautiful and heartbreakingly vulnerable look behind his family's response to him coming out. That album also serves as the soundtrack to the documentaary named "Three Chords and a Lie" where Brandon revisits his Southern Baptist family as he prepares for his first show in his Tennessee hometown. His sophomore album titled "This Must Be The Place" stays true to his country roots and brings in upbeat pop influences. In his most recent project you can see him star with his real life boyfriend in "That's What I Feel About You." He's one of the strongest people I've ever met, and I mean that emotionally and physically!
