Curtis Braly was born
into a family where the love of music was a part of his life
from the moment he could walk. Recalling memories from his
early childhood, his first exposure to performing was singing
with his mother in the church choir. That led to his first
solo performance at the ripe old age of five.
 Country
music became Curtis' first love. While in school, Curtis took
advantage of every performing opportunity allotted to him.
In the eighth grade, he won first place in a talent contest
singing "Old Time Rock-n-Roll". That set things
in motion for Curtis to seriously pursue performing live.
"Something magical happened to me on that stage",
Curtis said, "I knew that music was my destiny, there
is no other feeling like it!" By his sophomore year,
Curtis had enrolled in theatre and choir, started his own
band and won a national talent contest. The prize was a trip
to Nashville, Tennessee where he decided that he definitely
had the itch to be a Country Music Artist. While
continuing to put energy into his musical dream, Curtis landed
a job at The New 93Q Country Radio station in Houston.
Not only did Curtis get the exposure
to yet another facet of the country music industry but he was
also afforded the opportunity to be the opening act for Country
Artist, Daryl Singletary, at the dedication of the new Humble
Civic Arena in Humble, Texas. That led to another engagement
as the opening act for Johnny Rodriguez. Both engagements played
to over 5000 country music fans.
A fellow worker from 93Q passed the word on to a friend in
Nashville that Curtis Braly was a talented artist in the making
and that led him to award-winning songwriter / publisher,
Randy
Boudreaux. After working in the studio with Randy and making
a two-song demo, Curtis was encouraged to spend more of his
time in Music City USA where he would continue to follow his
dream.
After a couple of years
learning the ropes, Curtis was living in Nashville spending
his time rehearsing and performing with his own band. In October,
2000, Curtis was asked to return to Humble, Texas to put on
a benefit concert. The opportunity to return to his hometown
and do what he loved to do was an exciting adventure for him.
So Curtis loaded up with his band and traveled to Texas in
what was to become his best show yet. On October 14, 2000,
while on stage giving a knockout performance, Curtis was interrupted
half way through his show. Curtis stood by in shock and  great
excitement as the Humble's mayor declared that the City of
Humble would recognize October 14th as "Curtis Braly
Day". Since then, Curtis has appeared on a multitude
of televised talent shows and won over the hearts and ears
of many.
Curtis now lives in Texas where he
is able to travel back and forth to Nashville and continue
to work hard on his career. That continued hard work is really
starting to pay off. As of 2005, Curtis has revamped his entire
image, recorded a brand new CD that he claims tells a story
from his heart. He is surrounded by great family and great
friends and couldn’t be happier in the path his life
is taking.
After many expected obstacles in the
road to success, Curtis is now full speed ahead. He is determined
now, more than ever, to take country music fans on an exciting
ride!
