BRETT WESTGROVE

BRETT WESTGROVE

He’s one of music’s quickest risers but country singer Brett Westgrove had to walk a long, trying path to get to where he is today. Starting in on music before even reaching the age of two Westgrove went on to spend his entire youth writing and playing music while also teaching himself the art of audio engineering. Following high school he used these new skills to land a spot as a chief engineer and record producer at a recording studio in California. In the midst of it he also explored other passions earning Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Aerospace Engineering, and spending time commanding NASA spacecraft. Finally realizing he was not in the right place he sold most of what he owned to make the trek to Nashville. With only a few dollars to his name he rolled into town where he lived in his car in below-freezing winter conditions without heat – all in the name of the dream.
