Welcome to The Creative Push Podcast! In this episode, Sheri Oneal sits down with the multitalented singer-songwriter Chandler Brown for an inspiring and honest conversation about his creative life. Chandler opens up about his nomadic childhood, moving across the South, and his early musical adventures spurred on by Guitar Hero.
Hear Chandler’s take on blending country, Americana, and his own self-coined genre, “y’allternative,” as he explains how growing up surrounded by both Southern country traditions and rock influences shaped his authentic sound. He shares insights on the Nashville songwriting scene, the art of co-writing, and the lessons learned from both his failures and his triumphs, including why he waited to pursue music full-time and what finally pushed him to take that leap.
Throughout the episode, Chandler discusses the creative compulsions that drive him, the realness of working-class music, and how his family and upbringing shaped his approach to life.
Whether you’re an aspiring artist, songwriter, or just looking for a nudge to take creative risks, this conversation is packed with heartfelt advice and relatable stories sure to spark your own creative push.
