Glen Dale, West Virginia (1999 – present)
Brad Paisley (born October 28, 1972) is an American country music singer and songwriter from Glen Dale, West Virginia.
Brad Paisley has stated that his love of country music stems from his maternal grandfather, who gave Paisley his first guitar at age 8 and taught him how to play. At age 12, Paisley wrote his first song, and by 13 he was the opening act for country singers.
Paisley graduated from John Marshall High School in Glen Dale and enrolled at Belmont University (from 1993 to 1995). While in college, he met Frank Rogers, a fellow student who went on to serve as his producer. Paisley also met Kelley Lovelace, who became his songwriting partner.
After graduating from Belmont, Paisley signed a songwriting contract with EMI Music Publishing. His debut as a singer was with the label Arista Nashville, with the song, “Who Needs Pictures” (released February 22, 1999). In May of that same year, he made his first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry. Seven months later he had his first #1 hit with, “”He Didn’t Have To Be.”
In 2000, Paisley made an appearance on the nationally televised special, “Route 66: Main Street America” featured on TLC (TV channel) and later that same year he won the Country Music Association’s (CMA) Horizon Award and the Academy of Country Music’s best new male vocalist trophy. He received his first Grammy Award nomination a year later. On February 17, 2001, after forty appearances on the show, he was inducted into the Opry Hall of Fame.

His best album is still a toss-up between 5th Gear & Play. They're all good, anyhow. I like how 2 of the biggest songs on This Is Country Music (title track & Remind Me) are 2 of the worst. Camouflage, that's more like it! Hell yeah! New Favorite Memory is a MUCH better sappy love song than Remind Me too.
