JEFFERSON BROWN

Born and raised in the Chicago area, Jefferson had always planned on moving down to Nashville. His father was a songwriter in Nashville in the early 90's and instilled an appreciation for songwriters within him. While he graduated from Belmont University in 2014, he began touring with various acts in 2012. After 5 years on the road with JT Hodges, Chris Young & The Cadillac Three respectively, he decided it was finally time to pursue what he came to Nashville for. A call from The Cadillac Three's Jaren Johnston to Arturo Buenahora lead to Jefferson entering the publishing world and joining the Little Louder team.
