Meet Brady Wells from Holliston, MA
Brady was a high school sports star who found music as means of expression and connection. The 21 year old Wells sought music, not only as a way to communicate, but as a way to escape. The singer/songwriter who now calls Foxboro home said, "music to me, is like the therapy session that I don't have to pay for. Whenever I’m stressed or down about something I just pick up my guitar and feel at home. It’s also given me an outlet to connect to other people."
There must have been a platter of musical styles served up in his childhood, because Brady manages to infuse elements of pop, country, jazz and blues in his music. He is a master of the soulful pop ballad, much like Brett Young or Dan + Shay. There's an aching sensitivity prevalent in his vocal execution. Wells' phrasing makes you want to follow the story, and his connection to the words he writes makes you believe them. That is a powerful combination, packed with potential to set this young artist up for success.
