It all started back in 2017 when Zach Bryan was recorded by his friend in a parking lot singing a song he wrote called “Heading South”. Afterward, Bryan turned it into a YouTube video and posted it for fun. Then, months later, the song went viral and Zach Bryan’s fame began. 

Looking forward six years, Bryan is now in the top 10 “Hot Country Songs” chart for the third week in a row with his hit song, “Something in the Orange.” Many new fans discovered his music after hearing this song and many agreed that it deserved the attention it was given.

Senior Grace Marusarz said, “The first time I heard that song I kept it on repeat and I started looking into more of his songs… [I] became hooked fast”. 

Bryan has a total of three albums released and is constantly getting content out to his listeners. While giving the message on how each song he writes means something to him and tells a story, with the hope it appeals to his listeners. Bryan has found himself staying up all night to finish a song he found passion in, then releasing it on his social media the very next day. 

Bryan was invited to perform at Summerfest along with other major events in the upcoming year.  His rise to prominence is bringing people in from all over the county to hear his performances that he has been working his lifetime for.

Despite Bryan having a busy schedule, he is still focused on spending quality time with his closest friends and girlfriend, who play a large part in the inspiration for his music.
