Cody Brooks

My name is Cody Brooks and I am an all American songwriter hailing from Nashville Tennessee. Im a multi-instrumentalist, but my spirit animal is guitar. I’m a dying breed trying to find my way through this era-less world with my songs and music as my compass. I live in poverty by choice and like it close to the ground. I need it gritty, sweaty, bloody and dirty, and my music can’t help but be covered in all of it. I’m a complex intellect who believes the answer is only half the equation. I’m more curious than wise, and I seek primitive mystery over safety or social comforts.


My music is an unpredictable high wire act that melds the anticipation of Evil Knievel, with the wonder of PT Barnum from an age long ago. I break rules, hate conformity and have a pension for raising hell, and so does my art. I have died several times from being diabetic but I’m better now, and I have a unique sense of the miracle that is being alive. I cherish the raw element that is humanity over perfection. Perfection is boring, and I just don’t have time for that.


I’ve spent my life in search of that raw humanity that ever so often sparks an original flame into our gaze. I’ve lived my songs and still find my self floating down a flooding river at midnight wondering how the moon was born. I’ve been bitten by snakes, chased by buck shot, I’ve howled and broke the law, but I still love facing each day. I love this life and I encourage you to be brave with me and come with me on this journey.
