About Brad Paisley
Brad Douglas Paisley was born on October 28, 1972 and is an American country music singer and songwriter with an estimated net worth of $100 million. Born in the northern West Virginia town of Glen Dale, Paisley’s musical notions began when his maternal grandfather, Warren Jarvis, gave him his first guitar and taught him to play. After entertaining himself and his family, two years later, he was already making his first public appearance. He performed at a local church, but by 12, he was writing songs and fronting his first band, called the C-Notes.
After graduating from John Marshall High School in Glen Dale, Paisley spent two years at West Liberty State College (WV) before transferring to Nashville’s Belmont University. He was on a full-paid scholarship from ASCAP. He continued to perform his music both professionally and at home and it was here that he began making the initial contacts. Contacts including Frank Rogers, who became his producer, and Kelley Lovelace, his primary songwriting partner.
Shortly after graduating from Belmont, Paisley landed a songwriting deal with EMI Music Publishing. His earliest songwriting credits include David Kersh’s top-5 hit “Another You,” and David Ball’s 1999 single “Watching My Baby Not Come Back,” which he co-wrote with Ball. Paisley also began appearing on various demos that were circulated around Nashville.
Paisley signed his first major recording contract with Arista in 1998. A year later he released his debut solo album, Who Needs Pictures, which resulted in two chart-topping singles, “He Didn’t Have to Be” and “We Danced.” He also collaborated with Chely Wright on “Hard to Be a Husband, Hard to Be a Wife,” which appeared on the Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry compilation.
He made his first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry stage in May of 1999. In 2000, he gained even more exposure when he was featured on The Learning Channel’s Route 66: Main Street America, along with Grammy-winning blues legend Buddy Guy.
In 1999, he won the Academy of Country Music’s Best New Male Vocalist trophy, followed in 2000 by winning the Country Music Association’s Horizon Award (now called the Best New Artist award). He also received his first Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. Paisley was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry on February 17, 2001.
In 2016, Brad Paisley released “Without a Fight”, a duet with Demi Lovato. Then in 2017, he released his album Love and War which includes collaborations with iconic artists. From Timbaland to Bill Anderson, John Fogerty, and Mick Jagger, not to mention a songwriting credit with Johnny Cash.
On March 11, 2019, Paisley released “My Miracle”. As of 2023, Brad Paisley’s net worth is estimated to be about $100 million.
