Born in Gainesville Florida on September 15, 1981.

Full name Brian Charles Van Meter. Singer/Songwriter of all his songs.

Started writing songs when he was 16.

Moved to Nashville When he turned 22. And Still At It...!



"Sometimes it's so hard to find what it is I'm trying to say. People might think you can turn creativity on and off, but it's not like that. It just kinda comes out; a mash up of all these things you collect in your mind. You never know when it's going to happen. But when it does its like magic...

IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE AND IT'S JUST THAT HARD."

~Gwen Stefani~

Sessions: David Bazan

It was pretty slow. I mean, I played [the songs] on acoustic guitar for a long time, but I didn’t know how to transfer them to the other format. I didn’t want it to be a solo acoustic record. I wanted there to be bells and whistles and full band arrangements even if I didn’t want it necessarily to be electric guitar rock....

Sessions: Vetiver

“It’s always slightly confounding to me whenever Vetiver is depicted with the same tropes that people have read off of press sheets,” says Andy Cabic. “The same sort of milestones get mentioned but then no one really digs to find out that there are those other things going on.”
