Interview with Dean Brody

After 2 years with a Music Row publishing company, Dean got the news that his contract and US work permit would not be renewed. He and his family moved back to Canada. A year later, after pursuing deals and watching doors slowly close, Dean started looking for work at the local mines. "It was a sobering time in our lives, having tried so hard - and come so close," Dean says, "But we knew I had to find a solid job to look after our family." So he and his wife drove up to a mining town to find a place to live and made the decision to move - letting the dream of a career in country music go. The following day Dean made the call to friend and producer Matt Rovey to give him the news, but Matt had some news of his own... producer Keith Stegall, (Alan Jackson and George Jones) wanted to sign him to Broken Bow Records! Dean once again hit the I-15 into Montana and moved his family back to Nashville. Now Dean has a successful CD featuring the smash hit "Brothers" & the popular new single "Dirt Roads Scholar". He also has 4 nominations at this year's CCMA Awards including one for Rising Star.
