Breland is 24-year-old Daniel Breland of Burlington, N.J., although he now calls Atlanta home. After high school he was one of 48 students accepted to New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts’ Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, but instead chose Georgetown University, a decision that would steer his music career.
"One of my goals has always been to be nominated for a Grammy in college, and as it turns out it’s not actually that hard to do," he once told the Tab.
During his interview with the Hoya he said he wants to keep his own music clean.“I think that there are some little kids that could one day look up to me, and I don’t want to be feeding them information or lyrics that are negative or inappropriate,” the “My Truck” singer says. “I think there are too many artists out there doing that, and, granted, they are just expressing themselves and I respect that, but I think for me, I’m just going to stick true to being clean.”
The last and most recent bits of information about Breland come from his Sound Better profile, where he shares that he’s the Curtis Mayfield Award winner through BMI. This scholarship is given to very promising songwriters.
“I specialize in urban and pop music, though I have made a lot of country and gospel music,” he explains.
