About Brad Paisley

Brad Paisley was born on October 28th, 1972, in Glen Dale, West Virginia, and from an early age he seemed to be destined for country music stardom. CMT's biography of Paisley mentions that one of the country music star's earliest memories is of his grandfather playing the guitar. Indeed, his grandfather gave Brad Paisley his first guitar at the age of 8, and Paisley's love of music took off like a rocket. By age 13, he was opening for established acts, such as Wynonna Judd, Ricky Skaggs, and George Jones.

After graduating from high school, Brad decided to make the trek that all country music stars eventually make.

Paisley's work has resulted in his nomination for three Grammy Awards in 2008: Best Country Collaboration for "Oh Love" with Carrie Underwood, Best Country Instrumental for "Throttleneck," and Best Country Album for 5th Gear. Following the release of Play, Paisley was nominated for Entertainer of the Year and won Male Vocalist of the Year and Music Video of the Year for "Waitin' on a Woman" at the CMA Awards.
