The Short Version

Brett Stair is a country songwriter who creates songs that are authentic and built to connect with an audience. His work leans on strong narratives crafted around memorable hooks rooted in real life experience. After growing up in Arkansas and calling Fort Worth, TX home for 27 years, he and his wife moved to Nashville to pursue songwriting opportunities at the encouragement of mentors in both Tennessee and Texas.

The WHAT

As a songwriter the what is obviously songs… BUT these are songs written for others to record. That means… please don't download these until an artist has recorded and released them. View these as sneak previews to my focus group… you.

Brett's Songs of the Month

Each month I'm going to put 3 songs in this private playlist that are looking for a home. Most of these will be AI demos based off my worktape so all the words and melodies are mine and my cowriters but the demostration track is AI generated by SUNO. I'd love to hear from you on them and what artists you can hear singing your favorite.

My Catalog 

This area is members only and designed for publishers, pluggers, artists, and others involved in the music business who'd be interested in getting my songs heard, placed, and cut. I will monitor this list but will NOT contact you because you signed up so please put your real info in so I don't cull you out of the list inadvertently. 

If you want to listen to songs I've written that have been released then here's your spot .

The WHY

Straight from Brett:

Very simply… God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. (John Piper, Desiring God) Nothing makes me feel more like me than writing and performing songs I've written either by myself or with others who I've been blessed by God to have in my life.  Its when I feel closest to what I was created for and I pray it brings Him glory 3-4 minutes at a time.
