Brandin Kinney

Songwriter Brandon Kinney brings a creative edge to country music that’s all his own. He’s not one to overthink it. He writes what hits, whether it’s clever, raw, or just plain fun. Kinney’s been soaking in heart-wrenching, lovin’, leavin’, and losin’ songs since day one. Born in Lubbock, Texas, he grew up with country music playing by his crib, raised on the sounds that shaped the genre.

Kinney has been influenced by artists like Roger Miller, John Anderson, Don Williams, George Strait, and Waylon Jennings, particularly drawn to songs with lighter themes or blue-collar subject matter in the traditional form of the genre.

His journey as a songwriter has garnered him cuts with artists like Jason Aldean (“Drowns The Whiskey,” “Set It Off,” “One For The Road”), Jon Pardi(“Ain’t Always The Cowboy”), Cole Swindell (“Love You Too Late,” “Reason To Drink,” “No Can Left Behind,” “Should’ve Ran After You”), Luke Combs (“The Other Guy”), Luke Bryan (“Beer In The Headlights,” “Too Drunk To Drive”), Justin Moore (“I’d Want It To Be Yours,” “Off The Beaten Path”), Chase Rice (“Dirt Road Communication”), Chris Janson (“Bye Mom,” “Right In The Middle”), Craig Campbell (“Outta My Head”), and Randy Houser, whose single “Boots On” was named BMI’s 2nd Most Played Song of 2009.

Most recently, Kinney co-wrote Jon Pardi’s “He Went To Work”, Jason Aldean’s “High Road” and Braxton Keith’s “Baby You Do,” adding another chapter to a career that blends humor, heart, and a style all his own.
