Warner Music Nashville’s Tyler Braden unveils his latest track, “How It Starts“, now available for streaming. Written by Braden in collaboration with Luke Niccoli and Lydia Vaughan, the song showcases his distinctive blend of heartfelt storytelling and powerful vocals.
Braden says “‘How It Starts’ is kind of our upbeat take on a breakup song. I mean, obviously, it’s always difficult to go through something like that—it’s going to start hard. But, you know, what do they say? All the highest climbs have the most beautiful views. It’s not always going to stay difficult; things are always going to get better, always going to get easier. We just wanted to capture that in a fun, upbeat way, and that’s what this song is all about.“
The new song follows Braden’s hit “Devil You Know” which is closing in on 200 million streams, after garnering 10+ million views across social media platforms in the first two weeks it posted this past spring. Braden also lays his soul bare on the anthemic “Above The Water“, a deeply personal track that continues to resonate with fans and gain momentum.
ABOUT TYLER BRADEN:
Tyler Braden has the gritty powerhouse vocal, the expressive pen and the ability to deliver a lyric with complete conviction worthy of a headliner. Braden began crafting his sound as a teenager in Slapout, AL, where he demonstrated his mettle playing four-hour cover sets. He continued to perform between shifts as a firefighter in both Montgomery and Nashville; a set at the homegrown Whiskey Jam concert series in January 2017 paved his path to today. His Warner Music Nashville EP, Neon Grave, combines deep-rooted country tradition with the rollicking, high-energy instincts of a born rock ‘n’ roller. The project’s flagship single, “Try Losing One,” hit No. 1 on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown.
Braden is currently making waves with the viral track “Devil You Know” – a won’t-back-down anthem that attracted 10+ million views across social media in just two weeks. In April 2024 “Devil You Know” hit the Country radio airwaves, and as of September 2024, “Devil You Know” is a bona fide hit with a whopping 180+ million streams and over 50k+ ‘creates’ on TikTok. With 385+ million global streams to his name, Braden is now taking stages world-round. After a dynamic first leg of his headline The Real Friends Tour, with five sold-out shows, the Alabama native will round out the year with the tour’s second leg before supporting Warren Zeiders in the new year. He’ll also join Brothers Osborne on their Might As Well Be Us world tour, hitting the UK and Ireland in January 2025. Braden has graced the stage with top acts like Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn, Brantley Gilbert, Chris Stapleton, Dierks Bentley, and Mitchell Tenpenny. His studio recordings capture the same high-energy vibe as his live shows, resonating with fans across the globe.
