BRETT DENNENI love being creative, and for me it doesn’t matter what it is – whether it’s art or music or just daydreaming.
BRETT DENNENI wanted to be a singer. I wanted to be a musician. I wanted to travel and write songs and be a good songwriter. It came to me slowly after college.
BRETT DENNENEvery song is completely different. Sometimes they come like a lump of clay and it’s your job to chip away and find out what’s in the center. Sometimes it comes like swimming fish, and you have to follow it and see where it leads. Sometimes it comes totally fragmented.
BRETT DENNENI always saw myself as an old man living in the mountains playing a guitar, but I didn’t really turn that into a desire to be a professional musician or a singer or a rock star or anything like that.
BRETT DENNENWhat I strive to do with songwriting is be really honest, authentic and try to be open and share that with people. I choose that over trying to be clever, poetic, or lyrical.

BRETT DENNENI think most artists would agree, it’s one thing to be playing in front of a crowd that’s loving it, it’s another thing to add cameras, but it’s a really cool trade off to be on television.
BRETT DENNENI used to want to be fully observational, but I’m just not that kind of writer. My process always changes depending on how, when, and where inspiration stiles me.
BRETT DENNENI think the two biggest issues are world hunger and health, and all the things that stem from bad food.
