Hailing from British Columbia, critically acclaimed and multiple award-winning Canadian country artist Chad Brownlee has been forging a new path as an independent artist since 2023. He launched this next chapter of his career with “The Country Kind” and followed it up with the emotionally charged duet “They Don’t Know About Us” alongside Annika. Now, he’s preparing for his next highly anticipated release, “Reason To Love,” further solidifying his presence in the ever-evolving country music landscape.
With over 130 MILLION global streams and more than 24 MILLION views on YouTube, Brownlee has amassed multiple gold and platinum-certified singles. He has repeatedly climbed the Canadian country Billboard charts, scoring a No.1 hit with his platinum-selling single “Forever’s Gotta Start Somewhere.” Now, with “Reason To Love” - primed to be a festival favourite - he’s ready to add another smash hit to his catalog.
"Reason To Love" is a high-energy celebration of transformation and devotion, capturing the exhilarating shift from uncertainty to fully embracing love. Driven by electrifying guitar riffs and a powerful rhythm, the song pulses with the energy of newfound passion. It highlights how the right person can spark a fire within, reshaping life in the most profound way. A testament to love’s power to break down barriers and awaken the soul, “Reason To Love” is more than just a song - it’s a declaration of connection, purpose, and the unstoppable force of love – all delivered with the anthemic sound that has defined Brownlee’s career.
“This song was written alongside two powerhouse songwriters in Kelly Archer and Gordie Sampson. It’s an anthem for those who have found their person and have every reason to dive in headfirst. Love can be both liberating and debilitating. A necessary, yet reckless pursuit our hearts hurl us into. It’s a dangerous game, but sometimes when the right one comes along, they give you every reason to risk it all.” - Chad
Beyond his success as a musician, Brownlee is a multi-faceted artist with a diverse background. A former Vancouver Canucks draft pick, he transitioned from professional hockey to country music, proving his ability to excel in multiple fields. He’s also a dedicated philanthropist, using his platform to give back to various causes. In 2021, he expanded his creative pursuits even further, making his acting debut in the Canadian feature film Range Roads. With each new venture, Brownlee continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be an artist in today’s country music scene.
