Brett Eldredge grew up listening to records from Ray Charles, Ronnie Dunn, Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra. From very early on, music was a part of his life. "There's a video of me singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" in the living room with a Chicago Cubs helmet on; we're huge Cubs fans," he told The Boot. "In it, you can see that I could actually carry a tune at the young age of four." "My family started to have me sing the National Anthem at family parties. I'd get real nervous, and then someone would give me a candy bar or $5, and I'd sing," he added. "My body would shake. They'd call it the man voice, because I had this older voice coming out of a kid's body."
Eldredge only became proficient with the guitar once he moved to Nashville after college. "It took me a while to finally get a hold of the guitar, but once I did I was hooked," he said. "I think being a student of singers works to my advantage, because it taught me how to phrase things. I had melodies all over the place in my head."
Eldredge's debut album, Bring You Back, was released in 2013 on Atlantic Nashville. The record spawned three #1 country singles, including the Hot 100 Top 40 hit "Don't Ya."
