2014 was a great year for this 24-year-old singer/songwriter from northern Alberta. At the Canadian Country Music Association awards, Brett lead all country singers with eight nominations, winning two CMT Video of the Year and Interactive Artist of the Year. Brett also took home a Canadian Radio Music Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year in Country Music, two Association of Country Music in Alberta awards and two Edmonton Music Awards. And to top it off, Brett released his major label debut album through Warner Music Canada, Started With A Song, in 2014

Even before the album’s release, Kissel had already made radio history. With more than 93% of Canadian Country stations adding the first single “Started With A Song,” the track eclipsed the record for most adds at Canadian Country radio in one week. Since the album’s release, Brett has become the talk of Canadian country music. He has seen two of his music videos reach #1 at CMT, has scored three top 10 radio hits and headlined a cross-Canada tour. To top it all off, Brett won his first Juno Award – becoming the first country artist to be awarded with Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 17 years.

Songs: “Started With A Song”, “Tough People Do”, “Something You Just Don’t Forget”, “3, 2, 1”, and “Raise Your Glass”.
