A powerful new voice in country music, 22-year-old rising artistBrandon Wisham possesses the kind of raw talent that instantlycommands the spotlight. Originally from Georgia but raised in Williamston, South Carolina, he grew up as the youngest of seven children and took up guitar as a child, then began playing cover shows in local bars when he was just 15. At 19 he wrote his first-ever song—“Pain Won’t Last,” a heartrending track about losing his father to Covid—and quickly landed a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and The Core Entertainment. Along with cutting his own version of “Pain Won’t Last” for 2023’s platinum-certified Religiously. The Album., country superstar Bailey Zimmerman enlisted the rising young musician as support for a major tour that launched in L.A. in early 2024. After spending much of last year on the road (including a run of dates with Josh Ross) and captivating sold-out rooms with just his soulful vocals and acoustic guitar, Wisham headed into the studio with producer Brandon Hood (Ty Myers, Mackenzie Carpenter). Newly signed to The Core Records, the Nashville-based artist now reveals the full force of his musical prowess on his first series of singles—a deeply personal batch of songs graced with equal parts unfiltered humanity and fiercely hopeful spirit.
