Some songwriters leave a mark on music history that’s impossible to ignore — Brett James is one of them. With over 900 songs recorded and 27 #1 hits, Brett has written for some of the biggest artists in the world. His songs have appeared on albums with combined sales of over 110 million copies, shaping the sound of country, pop, and beyond.
His Grammy-winning hit “Jesus, Take the Wheel” (Carrie Underwood) became a defining moment in modern country music. But his success doesn’t stop there—He’s also had four other #1 songs with Carrie, five with Kenny Chesney, and other chart toppers from Kelly Clarkson, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Martina McBride, and more. He’s also written songs for Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Bon Jovi, Taylor Swift, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, and many others.
As a two-time ASCAP Country Songwriter of the Year (2006 & 2010) and a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee (2020), Brett’s influence extends far beyond songwriting. He’s also a producer, working with artists like Taylor Swift and Kip Moore, and the owner of Cornman Music and Believer Artist Management.
Brett has dedicated himself to supporting the industry as well, serving 18 years on the CMA Board of Directors and contributing to The Recording Academy and NSAI.
From country to pop, Latin to rock music, Brett James is a true songwriting powerhouse and we’re proud to have him as a Songwriter City partner.
