Jody McBrayer

Jody McBrayer is known worldwide after becoming a mainstay in the Christian music industry with the Christian pop group Avalon. He was riding on the crest of this success with millions of records sold, numerous No. 1 hit singles, major tours, and multiple awards when nine years ago, he left the group after being diagnosed with heart disease. Thinking his music ministry was over, McBrayer entered the corporate world for five years working with his family. Then one day, he received a call from a popular evangelist who wanted McBrayer to join him on tour as a guest musician. Over the next four years, McBrayer would circle the globe and experience the power, grace, and mercy of God in a way he never had before. These experiences helped to reignite a desire for ministry, as well as a calling that had long since been set aside. It also helped him to decide to move forward once again as a solo artist. He already had one solo project on Sparrow Records in 2002, This Is Who I Am, when he was still a member of Avalon. It didn’t take long for this talented singer/songwriter to get signed with a respected label. In 2015, McBrayer signed with StowTown, and he will release his first album for the label on February 12, 2016. That album is titled Keep Breathing.

In 2021, Jody released his memoir So Far, So Good (...but it was touch and go for a while).
