Brandon Heath music biography continued...

on a life of music after being given a guitar for a Christmas present as a teenager and beginning to write his own songs soon after. He had not grown up in a very religious home, but was invited to attend a Christian Young Life camp later in his teens and decided to dedicate his life to Jesus. After high school, he became a leader for the camps and is still involved with Young Life across the United States. After his guitar was stolen in early 2000, he compiled a demo CD of his songs for sale to help pay for a new one. Heath's demo CD was later released in 2004 as an independent album titled Early Stuff. After also releasing Soldier in 2004, he signed with Reunion Records to release his first main studio album, Don't Get Comfortable, in late 2006. The album's first single, "Our God Reigns", received a Dove Award nomination in 2007. Brandon Heath's song "I'm Not Who I Was" was a number one hit, staying on top of Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart for several weeks. It received two Dove nominations, including "Song of the Year". Heath returned in mid-2008 with a second project: What If We. Its first single "Give Me Your Eyes" was released in July 2008 and has also been a successful number-one song on Christian radio. "When I listen to a song, I really want the lyrics to actually mean something," Heath has said. "There are a lot of songs out today that aren't very positive—alluding to sex and rebellion. It takes more skill to write a song with a message or story, and I appreciate the skill of good songwriting." And Heath's many fans appreciate his tremendous skill as well.
