Brendan Walter has inked a record deal with RECORDS Nashville and Sony Music Nashville.

“I’m so excited to be working with RECORDS and Sony Music Nashville and can’t wait to build with my new team,” shares Walter.

Hailing from Dallas, Walter grew up splitting his time between music and hockey, eventually leading him to play hockey in college and semi-professionally. As a kid, he spent time with his dad playing and listening to music such as Mumford & Sons, Van Halen and Tyler Childers. After hanging up his skates for the final time, Walter moved to Austin to focus on music where developed his craft by playing shows at The Saxon Pub, Mohawk and Parish, eventually leading the singer-songwriter to Music City.

He dropped his debut album, I Don’t Know What I’m Doing Yet, last November, and has also collaborated with Low Gap on “If A Song Could Change Your Mind.” Walter has amassed 138.7k followers and 51.8k followers on TikTok and Instagram, respectively, and has spent time on the road opening for Wyatt Flores and Evan Honer. He also graced the Hard Rock Stage at CMA Fest earlier this month, and has plans for headlining shows in Nashville, Denver, Omaha and Louisville later this summer.

Alongside the signing, Walter also released his new track “Normal Day” today (June 20). Co-penned by Walter, Grady Smith and Jack Rauton, the track tells the story of someone waking up and realizing they need to leave old habits behind.

“’Normal Day’ is a song about growing up and locking in,” says Walter. “I’ve learned that partying comes at a cost, and if you want to be great, sometimes you have to take a step back and get it together.”
